Liv is a sound healer and sonic alchemist (a DJ who builds sets aligned to your chakras). She's also a reiki master, human design reader, and huge advocate of building community around shared goals and interest like creativity and spirituality. She's been hosting full moon circles since 2020 and loves making new spiritual friends. She believes we all have the tools to heal ourselves inside of us - we just sometimes need a little guidance :)
Description
What to Bring
- A candle
- A pre-written journal entry (prompt below)
- Anything else you'd like at your altar (crystals, tarot, etc)
What to Expect
Whether you have never been to a circle before or this is your 15th time, I welcome you. No two circles are ever the same. The evening starts with happy hour snacks and light refreshments before settling into circle as a group. We meditate to my Nepali singing bowls and then we will read one another's journal entries out loud. Please don't worry - all of us are in the same boat (I write an entry, too) so it's completely okay if you feel awkward or vulnerable about your thoughts being shared. Try to write from the heart as much as possible. We don't have enough spaces for true open, non-judgmental dialogue anymore and that's the goal of this circle and community. You may handwrite your entry, jot it on your phone, print it out - whatever works :)
Journal Prompts
You don't have to answer every one of these questions, just write in response to what calls to you.
✨ Where am I being called to step up and lead — and what fears or doubts might be holding me back?
✨ How can I redefine success in a way that honors both my emotional well-being (Cancer) and my long-term goals (Capricorn)?
✨ What parts of myself have I been neglecting in the pursuit of productivity?
✨ What does emotional safety look like for me — and how can I give that to myself more consistently?
✨ How can I balance being a caretaker for others with being a caretaker for myself?
What's Going On In The Cosmos
July’s full moon is called the Buck Moon, named for the time when male deer begin to regrow their antlers — a symbol of renewal, strength, and maturation. It's a moment to recognize the quiet resilience growing beneath the surface, even if it hasn’t fully revealed itself yet.
This month, the moon reaches her peak in Capricorn, directly opposite the sun in Cancer. This cosmic pairing invites us to balance our emotional world with our external responsibilities, our need for tenderness with the call to rise.
Cancer teaches us to feel, to nurture, and to protect what we love. Capricorn asks us to build, to lead, and to persevere. Under this moonlight, we’re asked: Can we be both soft and strong? Can we hold space for rest and ambition? Can we honor our inner needs while showing up for the work we came here to do?
This moon is a sacred checkpoint — a time to come home to ourselves while standing tall in the life we're building. 🦌🌕
Full Evening Agenda
1. MOONSHINE & GROUND RULES We'll mix and mingle for a bit until everyone arrives. There will be light refreshments and snacks served for a happy hour before settling into our circle. Then we'll go over the basics to set up a mindful space for sharing.
2. SET INTENTIONS & LIGHT CANDLES We go around the circle and state 1 thing we hope to gain from this experience as we each light our candle in front of us.
3. MEDITATE We'll spend 10 minutes meditating by candlelight to the sound of my singing bowls lovingly made under a full moon in Nepal. Spend time reflecting on our goals, connecting as a group, and getting in touch with our bodies as we enter zen self-reflection mode.
4. INTROSPECT This will be a large part of our evening. One by one we will read each other's journal entries aloud to the rest of the group. The purpose is to have a space to be purely heard. No dialogue yet, just listening.
5. EXTROSPECT Dialogue ensues. Each circle member gets the chance to comment on whichever they heard from others. Did something evoke a strong reaction? Make you think in a new way? Feel free to share anything that comes up.
6. GRATEFULNESS & GAIN Each member of the circle states one person/place/thing they are grateful for having or currently experiencing in their lives.
7. HOPEFUL LOSS Circle members state one thing they hope to reduce/lose/let go of in the coming weeks as they blow out their candles one by one
8. CLOSING THOUGHTS A chance for open dialogue, feedback, connecting with other members of the circle and easing back into the routines of life before going back off into the dark of the night.
