New Moon Circle
An invitation to slow down, to listen, and to reconnect with the living rhythm of the cycles. Together, we honour this moment of new beginning, welcome our shadows and set clear intentions.
The circle is held in English, as it brings together an international group in Leiden. French speakers are warmly welcome : a word of French is always possible if needed.
The energy of the new moon
A new moon circle is a gathering of people wishing to draw on the energy of the new moon to set intentions, to manifest and to contemplate.
At the dawn of a new cycle, the new moon invites us to open an inner space for new intentions. When our actions are in harmony with the cycle of life around us, a beautiful coherence flows from it.
A circle of manifestation
This circle places the emphasis on the intentions we wish to manifest during the coming moon. Putting our intentions into words within a caring setting helps us to clarify our goals, to strengthen our commitment, to receive the group's support and to draw on the collective energy to bring about what we long for.
The specificity of the new moon
The new moon marks the beginning of the lunar movement. It contrasts with the full moon, which reveals the completion of a cycle. The energy of the new moon is the most fertile for « sowing seeds » — setting intentions for what is to come.
In agricultural traditions, the new moon is associated with the fertility of the soil and with moisture, making it the most favourable time for sowing. We do the same with our inner intentions.
