New Moon Ritual
On the darkest night of the lunar cycle, the new moon offers a powerful moment to pause and turn inward.

From that place, we’ll move into setting intentions for the cycle ahead with clarity and self-compassion rather than pressure and self-doubt. Come as you are and begin again.

Full Moon Drum Circle (Copy)
August is the Sturgeon Moon.

Full Moon Drum Circle (Copy)
September is the Full Corn Moon - and this year, it’s the Harvest moon.
The Harvest Moon and Full Corn Moon both typically refer to the full moon in September, marking the time for gathering crops. The Harvest Moon is specifically defined as the full moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox, while the Full Corn Moon is the traditional name for the September full moon itself
September's full corn moon is so called because this is when crops are gathered at the end of the summer season. At this time, the Moon appears particularly bright and rises early, letting farmers continue harvesting into the night. This moon is also sometimes named the barley moon, and it is often the nearest full moon to the autumnal equinox, earning the title of 'harvest moon'.
All genders are welcome to this drumming circle and ritual. Bring your own drum/instruments- though some drums are available. In person in the herchurch sanctuary.
Masks available. Please stay home if you are experiencing symptoms of illness.

Full Moon Drum Circle
November is the Beaver Moon - and this year, it’s a Supermoon.
There is disagreement over the origin of November's beaver moon name. Some say it comes from Native Americans setting beaver traps during this month, while others say the name comes from the heavy activity of beavers building their winter dams. Another name is the frost moon.
All genders are welcome to this drumming circle and ritual. Bring your own drum/instruments- though some drums are available. In person in the herchurch sanctuary.
Masks available. Please stay home if you are experiencing symptoms of illness.
Drum pictured is a djembe. This goblet-shaped drum is traditionally carved from a single piece of African hardwood and topped with an animal skin as a drumhead.

New Moon Ritual
On the darkest night of the lunar cycle, the new moon offers a powerful moment to pause and turn inward.
Through guided trance and imagery inspired by archetypal goddess energies and mythic journeys, this ritual creates space to explore and reconnect with the parts of us we’ve been taught to hide from ourselves, allowing a more whole and honest self to emerge.
From that place, we’ll move into setting intentions for the cycle ahead with clarity and self-compassion rather than pressure and self-doubt. Come as you are and begin again.

Full Moon Drum Circle
December is the Cold Moon - and this year, it’s a Supermoon.

All genders are welcome to this drumming circle and ritual. Bring your own drum/instruments- though some drums are available. In person in the herchurch sanctuary.
Masks available. Please stay home if you are experiencing symptoms of illness.
Drum pictured is a djembe. This goblet-shaped drum is traditionally carved from a single piece of African hardwood and topped with an animal skin as a drumhead. In western understanding, the drum belongs to the membranophone class of instruments in the percussion family. They are called membranophones because sound is created by vibration of membrane stretched tight.

Full Moon Drum Circle
June is the Strawberry Moon.
In North America, the harvesting of strawberries in June gives that month's full moon its name. Europeans have dubbed it the rose moon, while other cultures named it the hot moon for the beginning of the summer heat.
All genders are welcome to this drumming circle and ritual. Bring your own drum/instruments- though some drums are available. In person in the herchurch sanctuary.
Masks available. Please stay home if you are experiencing symptoms of illness.

They are called membranophones because sound is created by vibration of membrane stretched tight.

Full Moon Drum Circle (Copy)
The second full moon of March is a Blue Moon.
Quite where the term blue moon came from is unclear. It may be a mispronounciation of the disused word “belewe” which means ‘to betray’. This may be a reference to the betrayal of the usual idea of having one full moon in each month or perhaps the “betrayal” by the Moon of worshippers attempting to determine the position and duration of Lent in the calendar year.
All genders are welcome to this drumming circle and ritual. Bring your own drum/instruments- though some drums are available. In person in the herchurch sanctuary.
