Full Moon Sauna & Yurt Journey - 21st July 2024

These times of monthly planetary alignment are a gift to be received with grace, and an invitation to be engaged with. 

Full moons calendar dates offer us a playground upon which we play, a portal through which we dive and a pause in time within which we reflect.

The moon of PURNIMA, the moon of fullness, this Sunday July 21st is a moon of the Capricorn, symbolising a period of increased change and self-discovery.

You are invited to come be inspired to tap into your inner holistic wisdom creating a profound connection to nature through a plant scrub ritual and a somatic practise that promotes nervous system regulation and cultivates strength and resilience.

We gather at these times, as our ancestors did, to learn adaptability and to access our innate intuitive wisdom and navigate challenges with self-control and compassion.

SAUNA SCRUB RITUAL - 6pm to 7:30pm

Deeply woven into the fabric of wellness practises in many cultures, body scrubs are more than just a skincare routine. A homemade spice scrub preparation and ritualistic application embodies century-old remedies and sacred practises passed down through generations.

6pm - crafting the scrub:

We will gather at 6pm to prepare the scrub using spices and herbs, leaning into the medicinal properties of these plants, calling in their purification and protection, and playing with alchemy before we head into the wonderful wood fired barrel sauna.

6:30pm - sauna ritual:

A meditative sensory experience encouraging presence and connection. We use breath to encourage stillness, we use movement to massage the scrub and direct the energy towards the heart. 

This journey awakens the senses and grounds our body into deep presence.

*Cold tank dips are optional.

LIVE DRUMMING & BODYMIND ACTIVATION - 7:30pm to 8:45pm

Dry, warm and relaxed, we move into the magical Mongolian yurt for an intimate sound ritual.

Live drumming and body shaking.

A deeply grounding and relaxing practise, Shaking Medicine (sometimes referred to as Bioenergetics or Trauma Release) is one of the oldest BodyMind healing techniques and is both a natural and necessary process to access deep positive states of wellbeing.

Shaking patterns of tension that are chronically held in the muscles, releasing emotional fog, and brining the whole body energy system into balance helps access healing states of consciousness.

YOGA NIDRA - 8:45pm to 9:15pm

We conclude our full moon gathering with a deeply nourishing yoga Nidra, a deeply restorative guided lying down mediation.

MOONLIT FIREPIT - 9:30pm

Weather permitting, we light the firepit and gather under the moon to share food share stories and connect to nature and one another.
