About the Gathering
On this New Moon night, under the open sky, we gather in the thriving heart of Moksha Conscious Community, which is a sanctuary for authentic connection and conscious living.
The Wild, Free & Empowered Women’s Circle is a space where masks come off, stories are shared, and hearts are witnessed. In circle, we remember the power of women gathering together through our laughter, our tears, our wisdom, and our collective energy.
This special evening will include a heart-opening rose & cacao ceremony, a ritual where we drink a warm infusion of rose and ceremonial-grade cacao, blending the softness and compassion of the rose with the joy, presence, and connection of cacao. This sacred drink will help us drop into our hearts open to deeper self-love, and connect more authentically with one another.
We will then move into a New Moon fire ceremony, a time to release what no longer serves us, to plant new seeds of intention for the lunar cycle ahead, and to align with the astrological energies of this particular New Moon for guidance and inspiration.
The Ceremonies
Heart-Opening Rose & Cacao Ceremony – Savor a sacred drink infused with the gentle beauty of rose and the rich warmth of cacao, guiding you into a state of openness, compassion, and authentic connection.
Fire Ceremony – Release old patterns and call in new intentions, offering them to the flames under the fertile darkness of the New Moon.
The Fire Ceremony
The fire has been a sacred gathering point for women for as long as we know, it is a place of warmth, transformation, and connection. Together, we will:
Write down or hold in our hearts the things we are ready to let go of
Offer these to the flames as a symbolic release
Speak (or silently affirm) the new intentions we wish to embody
Sit together in the glow, allowing space for reflection and quiet presence
