Full Moon Rituals: Lunar Gathering for Emotional Release and Connection
With every full moon rising over the tranquil horizon, participants are invited to join a soul-stirring Lunar Gathering. This guided event unfolds through a sacred progression, beginning with a communal sharing circle and a ceremonial cacao ritual designed to open the heart. The experience continues with mindful breathwork and introspective meditation. Attendees are gently encouraged to let go of emotional burdens through a symbolic fire ceremony, concluding with a floral tribute and a collective moment of gratitude beneath the moon’s luminous glow. Guests choosing the daylong immersion can arrive earlier for serene access to the pool and beach, allowing for a period of quiet inner alignment before the evening’s ritual begins. This moonlit gathering offers a rare chance to reconnect deeply with both nature and self.
