Full Moon Ritual Online

Moon Phase Circles and various moon rituals have been held for many centuries, probably thousands of years, to mark and acknowledge the changing cycles and what they mean for us.

If you have not experienced a full moon, or similar, fire and sharing circle before,this Facebook live virtual circle may be the perfect opportunity to find out a bit more what they are about. Circles are spaces where we are supported to explore our own thoughts, experiences and feelings, to help discover and reveal our inner truths. Spaces where we can be healed.

Full moon celebrations tend to focus on gratitude for what we have or have been given.

Each month's moon has been given one or more names that associate with what is happening in nature at that time. The names vary around the world, as do the wild animals and plants and seasons.

The January moon is named the wolf moon.

For January our Full Moon ritual celebration will be held online as a Facebook Live on the Dalton Moor Farm and School of Sustainable Living & Wellbeing page.

I encourage you to prepare for yourself some comforting (plant based) food and a warm herbal tea or other drink to enjoy during the circle event.

You may also like to set some crystals and chosen objects with special significance or meaning beside or around you.

If you would like to create some moon water, simply choose a vessel or container that you can set by a window to let lady moon shine her healing and guiding light on it.

We will open the circle with a greeting and a poem.

We will then spend a little time considering the meaning of the Full Moon and its name, its recognised spiritual meaning and its meaning to each of us.

We will than share in some breathing practices followed by chanting and a short meditation.

Coming out of meditation, I will invite everyone to join me in some stretching.

I will then invite you to consider and set your intentions for the coming moon cycle, so you are set to manifest your dreams at the next New Moon.

To finish the ritual I encourage you to engage in a bit of howling (just like the wolves). This can be very calming and uplifting, done alone or with friends.
