A Grounding & Heart Opening Full Moon Gathering

This Full Moon Ceremony is held as a sacred and intentional community circle, guided by Melissa Karimzadeh. This 90 minute experience weaves together somatic movement through Yin Yoga, Guided Meditation, Reiki Healing and a fire ceremony to support emotional clearing and energetic renewal, offering a supportive container for those who feel called to gather in shared presence and depth.
Through ritual elements and grounded ceremonial practices, the circle harnesses the heightened energetic field of the Full Moon/Blue Moon to support emotional clearing, energetic purification and deep self-inquiry.
This ceremony invites participants into the realms of emotional honesty, shadow integration, and transformative healing. The Blue Moon's influence supports the courageous exploration of what lies beneath the surface, encouraging the release of old emotional patterns, attachments and energetic residues in order to access greater truth, empowerment and embodied presence.
Participants will be guided through a cleansing pranayma, somatic movement and grounding Yin Yoga to support energetic flow and release, followed by a heart opening guided meditation to settle the nervous system with optional hands-on reiki activation for those interested. We will close with a short reflective journaling exercise with the intention to release anything that came up during the practice followed by a fire ceremony to burn it all away and make space for all we are calling in. Together, these elements facilitate emotional integration, clarity and renewal.
This ceremony offers a space to slow down, soften and consciously shed what no longer serves, allowing space for rebirth, emotional liberation and the emergence of renewed vitality.
