Living in Alignment with the Phases of the Moon

As our planet’s sole natural satellite, the Moon has been a subject of great mystery. Where did it come from? What is the significance of its ratio to the size of the Earth? Why does it seem to affect our moods, rhythms and cycles? 

Although we may never know all of the Moon’s secrets, we may utilise this enduring figure in the night sky by connecting to its energy. At House of Ascend, our lunar rituals demonstrate how we can consciously sync with the energy of the moon to gain a coherent structure and achieve your personal goals. In this workshop, we present to you an easy to follow guide on what each of the moon phases are called, what they indicate and how to be most aligned with them.

• New Moon: A time of new beginnings, setting intentions, and planting seeds for the future.
• Waxing Crescent Moon: Fostering growth, taking small steps towards our goals, and building momentum.
• First Quarter Moon: Overcoming challenges, making adjustments, and finding balance.
• Waxing Gibbous Moon: Honing our skills, gaining clarity, and expanding our understanding.
• Full Moon: A time of illumination, heightened emotions, and celebrating our achievements.
• Disseminating/Waning Moon: Sharing our wisdom, giving back to others, and nurturing connections.
• Closing Quarter Moon: Reflecting, releasing what no longer serves us, and preparing for closure.
• Balsamic/Waning Crescent Moon: Embracing introspection, surrendering, and connecting with our inner wisdom.

Allow yourself to observe natural fluctuations, attune and honour to your cyclical nature so that you can consciously tap into the rich wisdom of each lunar phase with somatic yoga, sound bath, organic blended tea, aromatherapy and botanical elixir.

You'll go home with a Lunar Guidebook packed with sacred Ritual magic + tools + recipes for home practices such as mantras, botanical bath/shower, botanical medicine, aromatherapy, sacred smoke, crystals, journaling, yoga and meditation practices curated intuitively by Suraya Sam.
