Guided Practice
On this day we center and honor our cosmic affirmations under the New Moon in Leo. Setting courageous intentions of freedom, liberation, and peace, we explore the cosmology above, within, and below. Today we attune and connect to our cosmic wisdom, journeying with/in the stars as guide and holders of truths. cyan cian will guide us in a new moon ritual with movement, igniting our creativity under the night sky. Open the space and welcome liberation, give permission to receive love, this is our freedom!
Please create a space of comfort, peace, and safety for this practice. I welcome the items you claim as “loving essentials.” Bring a journal or notepad for our time.
