There is something sacred about gathering beneath the glow of the full moon — a rare moment to pause, reflect, and realign. As energy builds through the day, the evening brings a sense of release. Guided by intention and rhythm, you’ll be immersed in a sound bath designed to move stagnant energy, soften the mind, and open the heart. Surrounded by others on their own journey of renewal, this is a chance to let go of what no longer serves and honor what’s ready to rise.
Empowering communities, uplifting lives.
