Ceremonies
New Moon
Each month on the Monday closest to the New Moon, Joanna creates and holds a sacred space for participants to remove an obstacle and set an intention. A classic ritual in many pagan traditions whose power derives from respectful honoring of the lunations, this circle is designed to meet the needs of those from all walks of life. Joanna volunteers her time for this community ceremony. On the Monday closest to the New Moon at 7:00 pm.
Public New Moon Ceremonies temporarily paused
LabYrinth
Every 18 months the planet Venus, one of the most recognizable lights in the morning or evening sky, disappears from view for 40 days. This is the time of the Labyrinth Ceremony. Guided by Joanna, participants work with labyrinth and Venus energy to devise personal vows around self-love, right relationship, beauty, and other values. July 22 - Sept 9th, 2023.
