Memories from previous Moon Gatherings
This is not for everyone, but for those of you who’ve longed to get back to your wild ways, I hear you. I see you. I’ve been running monthly Full Moon excursions for the last three years. We feel ourselves again and feel each other’s connection. It has been so impactful for all of us that I feel the pull and excitement to widen my circle, share my journey, and form a sisterhood.

What this Looks like
A women’s circle that will meet twice a month, on full moon and new moon, starting with a six month commitment.
Giving you a slight break to take that in. You may already be feeling the low-level stress of committing to something for 6 months and having it on different days. Deep breath; bare with me. Yes, you’ll need to put it in your calendar, but sooner than you think, you’ll start tracking your time by the moon cycles — the consistency of its waxing and waning. You’ll begin to feel when it’s time to come together…and you’ve always got your phone… In order to get back to our wild ways, we may have to shake things up a bit. As in, adjust our pace to align with the natural rhythms of the earth. Because whether we’re aware of it or not, the moon’s gravitational pull guides the tides of life. Why six months? Because we’re trying to turn a state into a traight. We’re creating new habits and new ways to be in the world. We’re building a community and a place to drop in, focus on ourselves, and play with nature’s wisdom. We will be practicing together and holding each other accountable - for showing up, slowing down, and living out our intentions for each month.
Logistics
(now that we’ve gotten past the initial mental barrier). We’ll meet in the studio one day a month, on the new moon, from 6:30–8:30 pm. The first few sessions will focus on topics that challenge our current mindset about wellness and look at ways to move into an integrated and balanced way to approach our well-being. As we get comfortable as a group, I’ll weave in different perspectives on the complexities and polarities arising within our culture and explore how to move forward with curiosity and compassion. I’ll be sharing podcasts and resources to dive in, spark curiosity, and start conversations. We’ll also be getting to know each other, taking time to feel out the group, and defining and building our sacred space. We set the foundation and build from there each week, so attendance is important. This is your sacred time.
The group will have a maximum of eight people, nine including me.
The New Moon is a time to reflect and set intentions for the month.
The Full Moon will be our time to go out and play. Think silent disco-style hiking, boogie boarding, or paddling under the moon’s glow. And for those of you who know me, yes, I’m a mountain girl, so we tend to hike mountains, not hills. Think a little challenging in a good way. The kind that may take you out of your comfort level, but you won't be cursing me (for too long).
The Cost
$1,000 for the six months. This is your therapy, your retreat, your school, and your temple. Make it count. The fee does not adjust based on your availability. It’s an additional motivation to help everyone to stay on track.

Testimonials:
“This practice has been a wonderful reminder of our connection to the rhythms of the natural world — and how nourishing it is to spend time with other women in this way. It also reminds me of how much stress and heavy emotion builds up within us each month, and how important it is to have a safe space like this to release it.”
P.S. The “Full Moon Crew” got a shout-out in the credits of the film I just made (Rising Giants). This practice helped me navigate the stress and pressures of making this film in so many ways. I am so grateful to you for this incredible gift!

”I’ve been doing full moon rituals consistently with Jessie for over three years, and I look forward to them every month. These rituals have helped strengthen my relationship with myself and the Earth and have also helped me define and realize some of my goals. I've learned the power of setting intentions, writing them in words, reflecting, and the value of being part of a group that shows up for the same reasons. Even in the darker months, when it’s cold or raining I’m happy to bundle up and get out because every single time I return with a renewed connection to the group, myself, and the universe. Jessie wholeheartedly embraces the divine feminine and facilitates a playful and supportive space where I feel alive and rooted in purpose.”
