Full Moon Eclipse Gathering

Al-Badawī yurt is now open and the space has been a sacred shala, a temple space, where many sisters and brothers gathered to be alone, to connect with others and to resolve what needs to be unpacked. I am opening a full moon eclipse gathering in the yurt on March 23d.

A full moon is a potent time for fostering personal and collective growth, and this May spring final full moon, the flower moon, offers opportunities to find the spark that dares you to push the boundaries of your dreams and toss out self-defeating thoughts clouding your desires and blocking you from your own visions.

This Full Moon is special because it's also a lunar eclipse, an opening to hear the universe telling us that we are experiencing many outer battles and also inner battles while numerous wars are happening, all at once.

It’s a time to learn what this intense current energy means to us on a personal level and how can we harness a practice and a peaceful space within that enables us to deepen our process of self-inquiry in a trauma informed way and in deep reverence to the pace of our own journey.

I have practiced, held, and guided moon rituals for decades. These Pujas and ceremonies, are informed by decades of study and practice of my own lineage: We are Badawī, pre-existing Arabic-speaking communities, and flavoured by my journey as both a devotee of the Sufi path (I studied from a young age with my father who is a seeker) and my studies of the Vedic tradition in Sanskrit. I am initiated as a Mistress of tea ceremony in my culture and a sacred sexuality priestess in the tantric tradition. 

This is an intimate circle, in the womb of the new Bedouin yurt, Al-Badawī, a lush Bedouin Mongolian tent and a prayer and pleasure temple space and sanctuary. 

All contributions are for a fundraiser for an initiative to support mental health in Cornwall.

The May moon ritual I invite you to is a 2 hour long journey in the yurt. It’s a ritual with voice activation, movement, tea brewing, chants and guided meditation.

Prior to this, the sauna will be open for an hour, to prepare the body for receiving the medicine of gathering in ritual space. You are welcome to opt in or out of the sauna and be in it for as little or as long as you like.

Please book your space using the link below if you are keen to find a new way of working with new practices that weave Sharing prayers of the nomads and the Bedouins, Sufi songs, rituals of the land and the water and the air and the fire and ancient meditation and breath centered practices.

This gathering is an invitation for you to connect and also to pause and consider where you’ve been and what you’re be inviting forth into your world with the coming of the explosive energy of summer.
