We are thrilled to announce the revival of our moon circles this December 2024!
This December's Cold Moon on the 14th falls a week before the Winter Solstice, shining a bright light in the darkest days of the year. Winter Solstices are an opportunity to look inward and reflect on intentions for the upcoming year. In astrology and ancient tradition, the moon is associated with emotions, feminine energy, water, close relationships, and subconscious perceptions and influences. The Cold Moon in Gemini brings to harvest the new moon intentions planted on the 1st of the month. Positioned in Gemini, the zodiac's great socializer, communicator, and creator, the Cold Moon is an opportunity to release your inner genius, resolve communication mishaps, and express new ideas to others, with a supportive energy around collaboration and connection.
Join circle facilitators Nadine Calderon and Louisa Meyer in connecting with your unique feminine expression, joined in safe and sacredly held community with other inspiring women. Our circles offer you an invitation to pause, give love to yourself, find a sense of calm, and give yourself permission to be who you truly are. Through meditation, journaling and movement we will connect with our creative energy and go deep into the intention that fuels our goals.
The Winter Solstice & Full Moon circle will be held at the beautiful Rising Sol Yoga in Old Town Alexandria. We hope you'll join us!

Time: 3:00 -5:00pm
Location: Rising Sol Hot Yoga {400 N. Henry Street, Alexandria, VA 22314}

What to expect: Circles are held in person. They offer time to share what's on your heart as you feel called, participate in a guided mindfulness practice (yoga, meditation, or sound healing), and a creative activity connected to the month's topic such as painting, embroidery, watercolor, and more: an invitation to honor yourself and practice self-love in a safe and fun environment.
What to bring and keep in mind:
Circles are sacred space. Respect, conscientiousness, and confidentiality are important tenets of keeping a space intentional, safe, and true to its purpose (held with integrity). We expect all attendees to uphold these tenets in holding a co-creative seat during circle participation.
Arrive 10-15 minutes early to allow time for parking, shoe removal, and settling in.
To drop deeper into presence, recommend limiting your phone use during circles if possible.
Bring: water, yoga mat, journal/pen, blanket optional, and yourself as you are.
Wear: comfortable clothes. The studio runs hot so layers may be ideal to remove if needed.
