White Moon

As our days grow a bit darker and our clothing and appetites get a bit heavier, now is a time to lighten our spirits. The first holiday of the season, Thanksgiving, is a time when giving thanks is our mission. Yet, as we gather to celebrate, the atmosphere can oft be filled with irony, tragedy,…

The Moon for Letting Go

Even without the storms, things fall in autumn. And it is a stark reminder, once again, that there is value in the practice of letting go. Further, it’s not unusual that the fall and winter months evoke an even stronger feeling of nostalgia than usual. There is something about the cold, or moreover, the change…

Harvest Moon

We continue moving deeper into fall this new moon, and with it, deeper into the harvest. Think of nature’s cycles, bearing in mind, that the farther into fall we go, the closer we get to winter. Indeed, it is around this time that our harvest shifts beyond mere consumption to conservation. Just as bears prepare…

Autumn Seed Moon

We think of fall as the season of harvest – a time to reap the bounty of our efforts from earlier in the year. And as we collect the fruits and fill our baskets, we can see all around us as nature begins to prepare itself for the winter, reminding us more distinctly now than…

Singing Moon

As we enter the fall season we begin to anticipate the experience and the familiar feeling of the cool, invigorating air brushing over our skin.

Reflection Moon

This full moon swings open the doors of fall and with it comes a very difficult time for many us. This fall and specifically this full moon follows the remembrance of a tragedy of great depth, marking the 10th anniversary of 9/11-a day that has changed us forever. This momentous anniversary stirs up questions and creates…

Dog Day’s Moon

Now that another energy-rich summer solstice is firmly under our belt, and the approaching season’s end becomes a blaring reality, we find ourselves within the balanced force of the full blown Dog Day’s Moon, which has qualities unique to any other time of year.  In these last few weeks of summer, it’s important, as it always…

Moon When All Things Ripen

As the last new moon of the summer, this moon exemplifies a passage in time from one season to the next. By this time of the year, and with our work to date on appreciating the cycles and rhythms of nature, we rest heavy in our hammocks (hurricane aside) seamlessly enjoying the breadth and warmth…

Betrayer Moon

The new moon today is a more rare event than you might realize. This moon is a blue moon, named for two disparate qualities: the color the moon can appear at certain times of the year and for the fact that it is an “additional”, i.e. 4th moon for the season, the second in a calendar…

Midsummer Moon

As we embark on the hottest days of summer, we are reminded of the undeniable forces of nature, which are now nearing their greatest intensity.  At this juncture, it can become natural, almost instinctive, to continue our own intense efforting. However, this is the time to ride the crest, look around and see how to maintain…
