A Monthly Rhythm Of Lunar Phases (Moon Practice)

This first session introduces you to the moon as a companion that has shaped human history, imagination and inner life. You’ll explore how ancient cultures lived by the lunar phases, how the moon influences Earth and its creatures, and why its shifting light mirrors our emotional and spiritual rhythms. The session closes with a gentle meditation welcoming you into this journey.

This session invites you into the quiet energy of the New Moon a time associated with beginning again, planting seeds and reconnecting with what matters most. You’ll learn why the New Moon has long been seen as a moment of inward reflection, how intention-setting can support your wellbeing, and how to gently align your inner rhythm with this phase. The meditation guides you into a spacious stillness where you can listen for the intentions that wish to emerge.

This session explores the gentle rising energy of the Waxing Crescent — the first sliver of light after the New Moon. It represents hope, courage, early momentum and the small steps that help intentions take shape. You’ll learn why this phase symbolises encouragement across cultures, how to recognise early movement in your own life, and how to nurture your intention without rushing. The meditation will help you feel that quiet forward pull and support the first stirrings of growth.

This session explores the First Quarter moon, a phase of balance between shadow and light. Traditionally seen as a time of decision and alignment, it invites you to strengthen your commitment, face gentle resistance, and take grounded steps toward your intention. The teaching helps you understand why this phase brings clarity and challenge in equal measure, and the meditation supports you in finding balanced, steady courage.

This session explores the Waxing Gibbous moon, a phase of almost-full light that symbolises refinement, adjustment, patience and the final shaping of intentions before they reach fullness. You’ll learn why this phase often brings focused energy, gentle tension and the desire to improve or adjust your path. The meditation supports clarity, fine-tuning and a compassionate approach to progress.

This session explores the expansive energy of the Full Moon, the brightest point in the lunar cycle. It symbolises clarity, emotional illumination, culmination and gentle release. You’ll learn why the Full Moon has long been connected with heightened intuition and deeper feeling. The meditation will guide you into a space where you can welcome what the light reveals and softly let go of what you no longer need.

This session explores the Waning Gibbous moon - the phase just after the Full Moon, when light begins to soften and the energy turns inward. This is a time for reflection, understanding, appreciation and integrating the insights revealed at the Full Moon. The meditation supports deep settling, heartfelt gratitude and allowing your new clarity to take root in a natural, gentle way.

This session explores the Last Quarter moon, the phase where half the moon is illuminated and half is shadowed. Traditionally, this is a time of release, simplification and conscious choice. It supports clearing what no longer serves your growth and strengthening what does. The meditation guides you through a grounding experience of letting go with compassion and restoring balance within yourself.

This session explores the Dark Moon, the final and quietest phase of the lunar cycle. Here, the moon has almost disappeared from the sky, inviting deep rest, inner listening and energetic reset. This is a time for turning inward, releasing the last remnants of tension, and preparing gently for a new beginning. The meditation guides you through a restorative descent into stillness, helping you reconnect with intuition and renew your inner landscape.
