Full Moon Release and New Year Reset Workshop
Preparing the Soil for the Year Ahead
This two hour Full Moon workshop is an intentional space to release, honor, and let go of the past year as we prepare to cross into a new cycle. Guided by the energy of the Full Moon and the wisdom of the Year of the Snake, this gathering invites us to slow down, shed what no longer serves, and tend carefully to the inner ground from which new life will grow.
In many wisdom traditions, the Snake represents shedding, transformation, and deep listening. This workshop will explore what must be released in order to prepare for the coming Year of the Fire Horse, a cycle associated with movement, vitality, and forward momentum. Rather than rushing toward intention or action, we begin by asking what needs to be softened, composted, or set down so that the next season can truly take root.
This workshop will be facilitated by Drew, holding a grounded, trauma informed container that weaves together yogic philosophy, seasonal wisdom, and embodied reflection.
What we will explore and experience together
Gentle guided movement and breath to arrive in the body and settle the nervous system
Quiet reflection and facilitated shared circle, creating space to listen inward and witness one another with care
Exploration of Raga (attachment) and Dvesha (aversion) through a yogic lens, reflecting on where we cling, where we resist, and how these patterns quietly shape our inner and outer lives
A reflective Wheel of Life assessment, reimagined through a decolonial and spiritual lens, inviting inquiry into different areas of life such as relationships, work, rest, creativity, community, health, and meaning
Seasonal reflection on winter as a time of tending soil rather than forcing growth, asking where attention, nourishment, or rest is needed before the spring
Ritual centered on release, renewal, and transition
Creation of moon water together, with jars provided, infused with the energy of the Full Moon and the vibrational resonance of sound, to take home as a tangible reminder of this moment of letting go
A closing grounding sound bath led by SoundBath Evelyn, supporting integration, nervous system settling, and deep rest
About the series
This workshop is part one of a two part New Year Reset series.
The second gathering will take place on January 18 under the New Moon and will shift from release into intention and movement. That workshop will explore manifestation, sankalpa, and intention setting through a non-Gregorian, seasonal lens, working with the energetic qualities of each season and the momentum of the Year of the Fire Horse. Together, the two gatherings form a complete arc: release and preparation, followed by clarity and forward motion.
You are welcome to attend either gathering and are not required to attend both.
