Libra New Moon Meditation (alignment)

Libra New Moon Meditation – Alignment

Saturday, October 10th at 11:30 am central

Where are you in your life? And where do you want to go? Alignment means that when you start to speed up, you’ll be on the right path to reach your goals. Now is a time of reflection and of reconsidering what is helping you on this path (and releasing what isn’t).

Center yourself and make sure your intentions are clear. Your relationships and community  should feel supportive without compromising your needs. Not everyone will be on the same page, so make sure to speak up for yourself and maintain your boundaries when needed.

Join us for a calming breath and some peace and quiet Saturday, October 10th at 11:30 am central, 12:30 pm eastern, 10:30 am mountain and 9:30 am pacific. Close your eyes and release the tension in your shoulders if you can for a few minutes.

This meditation will be self-guided so it can be done wherever you are; tune into our events page for our Hunter’s Moon guided meditation with Laurie on the 26th.

Thank you for being a part of our group!

Taurus Hunter's Moon Meditation (reflection)

With Mercury in retrograde until November 13th, now is a good time to go inward. Reflect on things like your sense of self-worth, your comfort and security. Is there a pattern that keeps repeating itself? Can you get to the root of the issue?

Having a conversation with our ancestors can help us move forward with confidence. Try making an ofrenda (offering) in the Mexican tradition of Day of the Dead (November 2nd).

Gather photos of your loved ones who have passed and put them together in a special place. Decorate this space with flowers, candles, foods and things you may have that they enjoyed. This helps us honor them and open up to their guidance.

Join Laurie on Zoom for a guided meditation Monday, October 26th at 11:30 am central or just take a moment to ground yourself wherever you are. Breathe deeply and let your body relax.

Thank you for being a part of our group!

Aries Harvest Moon Meditation (discernment)

For this Harvest Moon, we’ll have a guided meditation on Zoom as well as a self-guided meditation you can plan and do wherever you are.

Aries Harvest Moon Meditation (discernment)
Friday, September 25th at 7:30pm central

This full moon we are honoring the balance we have created in our lives.

We’re using discernment to see with clarity - to understand all aspects of a challenge or roadblock.

We reorganized and simplified over the Equinox, and with the full moon, we are reaping our harvest from the seeds we’ve sown throughout the year.

We’re composting and recycling those things that are no longer in alignment with the path we are choosing; and we’re enjoying our bounty.

Join us on Zoom for a guided meditation with Laurie or join us energetically by taking a moment to rest and relax. You can use this time to write down some intentions and goals for the next six months, or put on a song that honors your feelings during this season and time.

Thank you for being a part of our group!

Friday, September 25th at 7:30pm central, 8:30pm eastern, 6:30pm mountain and 5:30pm pacific

Virgo New Moon Meditation (reorganize)

Thursday, September 10th at 7:30 pm central, 8:30 pm eastern, 6:30 pm mountain and 5:30 pm pacific

Going through our things… this can be a delight or a daunting task. When we have abundance in our lives, there are lots of things that require a decision. This new moon provides the space to accomplish this task. We can encourage our renewal.

In this month’s forecast, Zoe from Angel Alignment says, “This is a great time to reset or refresh daily habits and routines to match our sacred pace and the needs of our nervous system. We can forego the urgency of never-ending to-do lists in favor of maintaining sustainable microgoals and maximum goals. Small tasks we can easily finish each day to boost our sense of accomplishment and self esteem.”

Join us for a moment of contemplation or the quiet reorganizing of a drawer or closet. As we sit in peace, our thoughts and physiology get rearranged as well.

Pisces Sturgeon Moon & Lunar Eclipse Meditation (Sacredness)

Pisces Sturgeon Moon & Partial Lunar Eclipse Meditation (sacredness)
Thursday, August 27th at 12:00 pm central, 1pm eastern, 11am mountain, 10am pacific

Sometimes a shake-up is what we need. This full moon with a partial lunar eclipse will bring us the energy to rebalance after this destabilization.

The key here is to hold our judgements of those also experiencing this shift, and to not compromise our needs for what others want. Decide what is sacred in your life.

Eclipse season is always a time of break-throughs and dramatic changes.

Join our group live on Zoom at 12pm central or take a moment for yourself wherever you are. Practice some deep breathing, extending your outbreath…

If you’d like to get an idea of what a powerful and graceful fish the Sturgeon is, you can visit (and pet) them at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago! 

Leo New Moon & Total Solar Eclipse Meditation (our story)

This meditation will be self-guided. Meditate where you are with the energy of our group.

Leo New Moon & Solar Eclipse Meditation (our story)

Wednesday, August 12th at 12pm eastern, 11am central, 10am mountain & 9am pacific

This Leo New Moon with a total Solar Eclipse in the Arctic asks us to rewrite our story. Our story is what we tell ourselves and others about us. When we revise it, we choose what to keep and what to let go of. Sometimes we hold tightly to something we ‘know’ about ourselves, only to find out one day that it’s not true (and maybe never was).

Take care to stay hydrated and do things that nourish your body, rather than deplete it. We may be put to the test this month… but we can handle it.

Join us for a self-guided meditation this Wednesday at 12 pm eastern, 11 am central, 10 am mountain and 9 am pacific. Maybe write down some revisions of your story in your journal: “I am letting go of… to become…”.

Then close your eyes, let your muscles relax and breathe.

Aquarius Buck Moon Meditation (responsibility)

Aquarius Buck Moon Meditation (responsibility)

Wednesday, July 29th at 9:00 am Central, 10 am Eastern, 8 am Mountain and 7 am Pacific

We are responsible for so much in our lives. We try so hard to juggle everything and never drop a ball. But what about ourselves? Do we have a responsibility to ourselves to seek joy, safety and comfort… to be able to speak our truth to those around us?

Sometimes we take responsibility for problems that aren’t ours, trying to solve them for someone else, so they can feel happy, safe and comfortable.

But what happens when we detach our energy from things that are truly not our responsibility?

To join us for a self-guided meditation this Wednesday, just relax wherever you are. Maybe jot down a few responsibilities in your journal that you would either like to focus on (or let go of) this Full Moon.

Then close your eyes… and breathe deeply. Spend a few minutes in stillness. Send love to yourself and those who share your world. Thank you for being a part of our group!

“When was the last time you walked outside and simply said hello to the trees and thanked them for their protection, wisdom and support? Same for any water in your area, the air/wind, the sun, the moon and stars.”

Cancer New Moon Meditation (expansion)

Cancer New Moon Meditation (expansion)

Have you ever been out in nature, and just felt your whole heart-field expand? We see all the systems at play, the growth and the decay. It makes us believe we are a part of something bigger.

Is there something you would like to expand in your life?

Would you like to expand your mind with learning something new? Would you like to expand the space in your place by clearing out unused items? Think about where your growth is occurring.

With Mercury in retrograde until the 23rd, things may not go as planned. But trust that the Universe has your back. The lessons you’ll learn will benefit you.

Monday, July 13th at 7pm Eastern, 6pm Central, 5pm Mountain, and 4pm Pacific join the energy of our group for a few minutes, and just close your eyes, listen to the breeze, and breathe.
