🌑✨ A powerful evening of RELEASE, REBIRTH & RENEWAL...

Right now, we're moving through a particularly powerful energetic period, between two eclipses, often described spiritually as an "eclipse corridor" 🌙 A space between what has been... and what comes next, in an already powerful month of astrology 🌌

Eclipse seasons are often associated with endings, beginnings, transformation and change, making this a beautiful opportunity to pause, reflect and ask yourself:

What am I ready to leave behind, and who am I ready to become?

Think of this corridor as a symbolic journey towards your next self. Not becoming somebody completely different, but releasing the layers, patterns, beliefs and expectations that no longer belong in the life you're creating ✨

Join us for a beautiful evening as we harness the energy of the New Moon Solar Eclipse to release, reconnect, realign and plant the seeds for our next chapter.

🌙 Sacred eclipse ceremony
🧘‍♀️ Guided meditation & sound
💭 Release, reset & unbecome
✨ Creative ritual & keepsake
☕ Tea, treats, connection and time just for YOU

And please know, you don't need to know anything about moon cycles, spirituality, meditation or energy work to come along.

Whether you're deeply connected to this kind of practice, simply curious, going through a difficult chapter, feeling a little lost, craving connection, or you just fancy trying something completely different... you are welcome here. Come along or bring a friend!

💜 Our events are safe, warm and welcoming spaces where you can simply come as you are.

There is no pressure to share, speak or participate in anything you don't feel comfortable with. Get involved as much or as little as feels right for you.

Women of all ages, backgrounds, experiences and life situations are welcome. Come alone, come with a friend, come exactly as you are 🫂

You are not alone.
You are held.
You are becoming 💫
