The full moon is a time of vibrant illumination, a celebration of Shakti—the dynamic energy that brings our intentions to fruition. It is a moment of clarity and reflection, where we can bask in the light of our creations and acknowledge the growth that has occurred. In this immersive retreat, we will honor the wisdom of the full moon, embracing it as a time of culmination, gratitude, and transformation.
We begin our journey with a ceremonial gathering, setting intentions. Each participant will receive a celebration kit—a curated collection of tools, including sacred herbs, an intention card, and Lunar Water—to support energetic expression both during and beyond the retreat. Through a simple yet profound ritual, we will consciously celebrate our achievements and open ourselves to make way for continued growth and abundance.
As we delve deeper into our practice, we will engage in a dynamic, uplifting movement practice designed to help us embody the energy of the full moon. Expect invigorating movements, heart-opening poses, and breath-centered sequences that encourage self-expression and joy. Using mudras (hand gestures) and bija (seed) sounds, we will explore the balance between action and stillness, clarity and intuition, presence and expansion.
As we transition into stillness, we will be guided through a deep relaxation practice that allows the nervous system to harmonize and the subconscious to integrate. Here, we will visualize standing in the light—not as overwhelming brightness, but as a space of clarity and insight. In this sacred moment, we find permission to celebrate, to reflect, and to simply be. A gentle full moon meditation will follow, inviting us to embrace the light and listen for the wisdom that emerges from our inner landscape.
To conclude our time together, we will engage in a ritual of gratitude and intention-setting. Whether through fire, water, or breath, we will symbolically honor our growth and set intentions for the next cycle. With our hearts open and our spirits uplifted, we will seal the practice with a soft candle meditation, recognizing that even in the brightest light, the seeds of new beginnings are always present within us.
This retreat is for anyone seeking joy, emotional clarity, and a space to reconnect with their inner rhythm. No prior yoga experience is required—only an open heart and a willingness to embrace both the light and the shadows.
Join us as we celebrate the fullness of life, honor our journeys, and emerge renewed.
