Monthly Moon Gatherings
What to Expect:
What draws you to the moon?
Is it the feminine archetype? The beautiful glowing orb in the night sky that quietly influences the tides, the seasons, and perhaps even us? Or is it your secret suspicion that it really is made of cheese?
Whatever draws you here, welcome.
❋ Intentional Gathering
Each month, we gather beneath the moon to slow down, reconnect with ourselves, one another, and the natural world. Rather than teaching about the moon, we simply allow it to inspire us—its changing phases reminding us that life, too, moves in cycles of growth, release, rest, and renewal.
Moon Gatherings are held twice each month so more people can attend regardless of their schedules:
The last Sunday of the month | 4:00–6:00 p.m.
The following Monday | 4:00–6:00 p.m.
July 26 & 27th
August 30 & 31st
Both gatherings explore the same monthly theme, so simply choose the day that works best for you.
❋ Familiar Structure
Bring a blanket or lawn chair (we'll have a few extras if you forget yours) and dress comfortably for the weather.
If you already have a drum or rattle, we'd love for you to bring it. If not, a few will be available to borrow. And if one happens to choose you, you'll find a collection of one-of-a-kind, handcrafted drums and rattles in the Farmhouse Store.
❋ Participation
There is no expectation to participate in everything. Come as you are and engage in whatever feels meaningful to you. If you'd rather observe than create, that's perfectly okay. Some evenings, simply showing up is the most meaningful thing you can do.
If you simply need two peaceful hours without anyone asking you to answer emails or decide what's for dinner...we completely understand.
Whether you've been watching the moon for years or are just beginning to notice it, we'd love to welcome you.
❋ What to Bring
Each gathering follows a different theme inspired by the natural world around us—the changing seasons, native plants, animals, weather, the moon, and the rhythms of the land. While the theme changes each month, the format remains familiar. We'll gather together and open our circle, spend a few quiet moments in reflection, explore the month's theme through a simple creative activity, share conversation, and close with gratitude.
“The moon does not ask us to become anything. It simply reminds us that change is part of being alive.”
