Come join me and a community of awesome humans for our fortnightly SYDNEY MOON CIRCLE ONLINE RITUAL! These events/online circles/rituals are all about embracing the unique energy of the astrological sign the moon is transiting, being in the moment and harnessing its power for personal growth, self discovery, connecting to your inner child that used to know they were a witch, and true connection.

The Zodiac has so many lessons for us about cycles, and being able to implement that cyclical lens, along with the archetypal imagery and themes of each sign and planet, can be a really grounding point of reflection as we keep riding around the sun together, on this beautiful floating rock. Being able to come together and check in on ourselves, our goals and our challenges every couple of weeks can be a really powerful anchor point.

As we gather online, we will be reflecting and giving gratitude to ourselves, for choosing to show up in the space, growing closer to, and getting to know ourselves and each other more deeply.

We will do a combination of the following:

Drop in/gently be guided through a meditation for grounding into the body
Gentle movement/dance
Somatic release excercises
Art/creative activities
Mystery rituals depending on the lunation (mysterious because I haven’t yet created them)
Celebrating ourselves
Astrological guidance/forecast
Reflecting and releasing what no longer serves, to make space for what does
Emotional Clearing (aka clear ya chakz)
Sharing space with a beautiful and flourishing community

Whether you're deep into astrology or simply curious about moon rituals, this event welcomes everyone. No prior experience is necessary, yet it is so welcomed – just bring an open heart and a willingness to explore the mysteries of the moon, of life, and of yourself.

So what even is Sydney Moon Circle all about anyway?

I created Sydney Moon Circle a year ago and not only has it been one of the coolest things I’ve ever done in my life, it’s remained one of the most nourishing, self motivational, encouraging and important. After getting deep into spirituality/self development/somatic release and astrology following a severe endometriosis diagnosis, and realising I didn’t feel quite comfortable exploring my flavour of spirituality/embodiment in a lot of dogmatic spiritual spaces, I felt really sad, isolated and ashamed for a while. Until eventually, I decided to make my own. I also did this because I realised that completely abandoning my spiritual practice was detrimental to my overall quality of life.

My path has been pretty fkn messy (to be honest, it still is) - years of chronic illness, a traumatic childhood, and undiagnosed ADHD, I found myself diving deep into the hippy-woo woo world and almost going too deep into a group that thankfully never turned into a cult. I moved back and forth between Sydney and Zürich more times than I can count, had and recovered from several surgeries, eventually had my own kids, and started to rediscover who I was outside of my illness. I divorced myself from the “woo” and its communities, then eventually realised there was still so much value in the tools and knowledge I’d learned and connections I’d made there.

Through aaaaaaaaall the ups and downs—because life really does just keep lifing, doesn’t it?—I uncovered some simple and beautiful practices that helped me to stay as centred as I could. These practices allowed me to live more authentically and made the day-to-day experience of life more ease-filled and more joyful, or at least, reflective and present.

I realised that there didn’t have to be any rules when it comes to how we connect to the parts of ourselves we always know are there, but never really have the space to tend to - the parts of ourselves who we can sometimes ignore or cast aside either out of shame (heygurlhey shadow werk), or just plain survival of the day to day.

I used to feel so ashamed of the fact that I know more about the Real Housewives of Literally Everywhere and RuPaul’s Drag Race than I do about yoga or tantra. I used to feel ashamed at the fact I enjoy sugar and chicken nuggies and smoking a joint more than I do sitting in silent meditation, singing Kirtans or drinking ceremonial cacao (mamacita cacao does slap tho).

Similarly, I used to feel ashamed of the fact that I have encyclopaedic knowledge about astrology, have had ‘gut feelings’ about people and places since I was a child, very much believe in magic (however you choose to take that), and 10000% believe in honouring our emotional bodies, as much as our physical/energetic/spiritual/mental ones especially in intellectual/academic or highly masculinised spaces where fact, logic and ‘getting over it’ are usually privileged.

At some point, I very probably, literally said “fuck it”, and decided to forge my own path; one that I hope continues to pave the way to a beautiful community of women/femmes - one where everyone is welcome as they are, where there are no gurus, no expectations to perform. A space where we can tune into where we are, and authentically BE from that place. You’d be surprised at how freeing it can be. And even when it’s not, it may be shining a light on where you’re not free, and that’s pretty damn cool too.
