Since the beginning of time, women have gathered under the Moon’s light to share stories and songs, attune to the rhythms of Mother Nature, and bring forth the power of the Divine Feminine. Something wildly sacred happens when women intentionally gather during the full or new moon cycles. As the Moon is the ruler of the waters and water governs our emotions, we can physically attune to the waters inside our bodies and consciously create a container for our emotions to be harnessed in a healing way. We are naturally more intuitive, receptive, and creative during the full moon. When we create opportunities to gather with our sisters under the full moon’s light, we unearth a deeper listening to our present states and a call to action to empower ourselves to live our most fulfilled lives.1

I have early childhood memories of being awestruck by the light of the full moon shimmering down on the lake and being attracted to its wild, radiant energy. It’s no wonder that I have been hosting moon gatherings for women for over twenty years now. And when I’m not gathering with others, I create a personal ritual to awaken and align with the forces of the Moon. A beautiful vulnerability comes through our whole beings when we can directly and radically state what is currently moving through our emotional, spiritual, physical, and mental states. When we can share with a circle of women how we really feel and what is honestly going on in our lives, we can begin to free ourselves from the charge of negativity or imbalance and direct our feminine power toward light, love, and transformation.
