Full Moon Walks
​Why
The full moon symbolizes culmination and renewal—an ideal time to celebrate gratitude, release what no longer serves us, and align with nature’s rhythms. Our walks create a physical and communal way to honor these intentions under the moonlit sky.
​
What to Expect
We begin with a gathering and gratitude ceremony, then walk 5–6 miles under the full moon. We close with a gentle release and candle-lighting ceremony. Please check the website for start times, which may vary by date.

Stillness Ceremonies
Stillness is that quiet moment when inspiration hits you. It’s that ability to step back and reflect. It’s what makes room for gratitude and happiness. It’s one of the most powerful forces on earth.
​​
​Why
"Stillness inspires new ideas. It sharpens perspective and illuminates connections" (Ryan Holiday). Stillness isn't about being unproductive but about creating the space for clarity, insight, and strategic action.
​
Description
Our Stillness Ceremony will start with a warm welcome, grounding activity, mindfulness practice, and a contemplative stillness practice. Group members may afterwards, as they choose, share main insights with one another. The Tibetan healing bowl, a Shamanic drum, and soothing guitar playing may be used during the ceremony. We will close our session with brief tea ceremony.

The Wealth That Money Cannot Buy
by Robin Sharma
​$30.00
"The book discussions has been deeply illuminating, perspective enhancing and quite satisfying to learn about my own blockages, methods to surpass these, create new insights on this journey through life, as well as to learn about the insights other book club members bring with their perspectives of the concepts reviewed. The frequent “aha” moments have been such a joy and I’m very grateful for the experience."
