Gemini New Moon Ceremony

A collaboration with Yoga for a Change x House of Ascend

"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

- Albert Einstein

This New Moon brings us the energies of Gemini, and urges us to look at the way we communicate with the world. What are the narratives we form around our lives, and what are the stories we tell about ourself? Gemini Season brings the opportunity to reframe your internal dialogue to support your growth and rewrite verbiage to raise your vibration. Take the time to understand your stories so you are no longer defined by them. These stories are often based on perception of past events. While the events themselves may remain, your perception of them can always change.

Gemini season is a time to exchange ideas and information with all of those around you, without judgment. Can you listen openly without opinion? This New Moon, challenge yourself to open your mind to new knowledge about the world and its future. Seek to let go of outdated ways of thinking, which often block evolution.  Gemini is a researcher at her core, and this season is the time to do your own research. Become interested in learning new ways of thinking and being. Expand past your local bubble and connect with people who think differently. How can you be more compassionate toward them?

A light vegetarian meal will be served for integration.

This 3-hour ceremonial experience is led by Suraya & Laura and they weave their signature rituals and practices with Lunar Tea, Somatic Lunar Yoga, Aromatherapy, Breathwork, Lunar Meditation and Sound Therapy.

20% of the proceeds will be donated to Yoga for a Change beneficiary, Playeum to amplify the voices and abilities of all children through play and the arts, especially children from disadvantaged backgrounds and those with special needs. Playeum = Play-Museum!
