The Descent: A Full Moon Ceremony of Returning, Discernment, & Going Within

What are you ready to carry with you into the season ahead? Not everything is meant to come with us. Some things have served their purpose. Some have asked for more of our energy than we realized. And some have become essential; the people, practices, truths, and parts of ourselves that sustain us when life becomes quieter. October invites us into a different rhythm. As the leaves fall, the days shorten, and the natural world begins its descent toward winter, we are invited to turn inward too. Not to disappear from our lives, but to become more intentional about where we place our energy and what we choose to carry forward. Join us for an intimate evening of guided journeying, sound, meditation, journaling, ritual, and reflection. Together, we’ll move through five stages: NOTICE: Where is your energy going? DISCERN: What truly deserves your energy now? SHED: What are you ready to leave behind? GATHER: What will sustain you in the season ahead? RETURN: What does it feel like to bring your energy home to yourself? At the end of the evening, you’ll choose a small object from the center of our circle to represent something you consciously choose to carry with you into the season ahead, maybe a truth, an intention, a source of strength, a relationship, a practice, or simply a reminder of what matters. Take it home as a physical reminder: You do not have to carry everything. You get to choose what comes with you. THE LUNAR CIRCLE The Descent is the October gathering of The Lunar Circle, a monthly full moon ceremony at Jenstar Movement Studio. Each month, we’ll gather beneath the full moon to explore a different doorway into the cycles of release, renewal, transformation, and creation. Each ceremony stands completely on its own, so you can join us for one evening whenever you feel called or return month after month. October invites us inward. Not to find all the answers. Not to become someone new. But to listen more closely to what is asking to remain, what is ready to fall away, and what might become possible when we stop giving our energy to everything. Come with something you’re ready to explore. Come alone or bring someone you love. Come exactly as you are. There is space for 15 people in this intimate circle. Reserve your place for The Descent.
