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.

"Joining this book club has been one of the most enriching experiences I’ve had in a long time. The conversations went far beyond the pages of the book, opening my eyes to new ideas and perspectives. The group’s thoughtful questions and supportive atmosphere made every meeting something to look forward to. I came away not only with a deeper appreciation for the book, but also for the power of shared learning."
