Full Moon Gathering: Mindful Practices and Community Connection with Carrie Dennison

The Sturgeon New Moon is named for when the sturgeon were easiest to catch in the Great Lakes. The word sturgeon means “stirrer” because these fish tend to spend their time at the bottom of the lake, stirring up the mud and looking for food. We can use this stirring energy as medicine by leaning into stuck emotions that have come up from the mud and meet them with tenderness. Let’s lean into the new moon with compassion as we cool off the summer’s heat in a ritual of rest.

Full Moon Gatherings offer space to connect with the community, experience gentle movement, settle into meditation practices, and get clear on our intentions for the next lunar cycle. Each month's gathering offers gentle, accessible practices. Depending on the inspiration and energy, we will utilize practices like Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, breathwork, Qi Gong, and/or other self-care rituals.

The full moon is a powerful time to set intentions for releasing, culmination, or achieving emotional clarity. Celebrating full moons is a great way to honor our own fullness and wholeness while we receive the wisdom for what is yet to unfold.

No previous yoga experience required.
