Taurus Full Moon Circle & Sound Healing

Join us for a cozy and grounding evening under the luminous Full Moon in Taurus, aka the Hunter's Moon in the gorgeous Zendo at the Red Cedar Zen Community Temple.

This Taurus Full Moon invites us to slow down, reconnect to the senses, and honor the abundance of the present moment. Taurus helps us root into stability and gratitude, while the opposing Scorpio Sun invites transformation and release. Together, they call us to find balance between comfort and growth, between holding and letting go. Some other areas to focus on during this full moon are: money, relationships, self-worth, security, home, work, pleasure, and emotional stability.

Throughout the circle, we’ll:

✨ Release old patterns through guided ritual and intention.

🌿 Gently move the body to open energy flow.

🎶 Journey into deep rest with a Sound Bath featuring Ruby’s Planetary Moon & Chiron Gongs, crystal & Tibetan singing bowls, chimes, and ocean drum and more

🌸 Close in community with tea, sweets, and heart-centered connection. Feel free to bring something to share if inspired.

✨At least one Reiki practicioner will be present to send soothing energy to the group and/or offer individual support if needed.

✨ This circle is created with women, femme-identifying, and non-binary folks in mind, those called to gather in sacred, supportive space. All are welcome if you feel aligned with the spirit of this offering. Daughters are also welcome, please reach out to check if it’s a good fit for your young person.

About Reiki: Reiki is a wonderful way to restore one’s life-force energy. It is an ancient healing art and means “Universal Energy” in Japanese. It is believed to enhance the body’s ability to heal itself and offers increasing wellbeing and resilience.
