The Hunter’s Moon, the moon that follows the Harvest Moon, which is the moon that follows the Autumnal Equinox. These names are not derived of folklore, as other Full Moons, but are tied to the tides of our solar cycles - the long cycle or full cycle. And the Hunter’s Moon is more than symbolic, it is the recognition of the coming winter. It is a direct and primal reminder to take care of what is needed to last out the cold months. The Cree called this the Migration Moon, observing the time when birds start to fly south to warmer places. The Hunter’s Moon is also in observance of the Wolf and Fox who become bolder and more active as the winter colds draw in. We gather together for warmth and to take recognition of life on Earth, moved by cycles and tides, attuning to our circadian rhythms and larger migratory cycles, as a natural response to natural shifts - the seasons. It is a time to gather your resources and make provisions for the coming season. Turning your attention to the coming months to make the most of your harvest. Shaping and taking this into your daily life. Despite the streetlights, between the alarm clock and the thermostat, the electric light and the supermarket trips, can you feel into the shift -and pause into what it can mean for you? A cross-cultural ritual and gathering to help remind us of the connection_ __ The gathering_ Himalayan Kriya Yoga with Swagatika. The mystic and secret traditions of Kriya Yoga were passed by teacher to student through initiation, and even today Kriya yoga is seldom practiced in studio settings, and yet they have been central as the most potent aspects of yoga practices. The ancient seers of India (rishis) perceived these practices of spirit to be a powerful way to connect with source and the self-realisation of the godhead. Kriya was re-introduced after nearly 2,000 years by a Himalayan mystic known only as Babaji. _ Yoga Nidra with Basia. Yoga Nidra is the practice of going into yogic trance through a guided or self-guided portal within the body. Through the practice of Nidra the body can find deep rest, the recharge and repair and whilst in Trance, the mind or the spirit can go wander. The Nidra for the Hunter’s Moon will be written with shamanic symbolism and story journeying, for insight, direct inner connection and guidance. _ Sound Journey with David. David is a composer and producer and in 2022 produced a 50 minute semi-composed, semi-improvised sound journey for Yoga in the Stars community. David returns with the second part, using piano, synths and sound samples to create pathways to deep journeying in non-ordinary states. - Sound / Trance / Kriya - The space will be held through Reiki, invocation, intention and blessing to protect the gathering and allow you to open into yourself and connect however you need to. Go wander in the forest of your mind. Go hunting in the Otherworlds_ and see what you find...
