Invitation to Lunar Mindfulness Practices – 2024

I invite you to align with lunar energy and tap into the magic of each new moon in 2024 .

Why the New Moon

We sometimes forget (because of modern lighting) that the new moon is a time of darkness. It is a time where things are harder to see and may seem completely hidden from view. New moon is a perfect time for contemplation and giving energy to new goals and projects. As the moon increases, our projects take form as well.

In honor of each new moon I’ll be writing about gardens, mindfulness, and intentional living. Each blog post will have a suggestion for mindful focus to adopt for the following 28 days.

Join Me

This idea of mindfully working with one concept at a time is something I learned in my earliest experiences with meditation. The world calls to us in a million ways and it is so easy to get distracted. By choosing a concept to focus on for a specific period of time, it gives shape to your practice. If the idea of intentionally working with the lunar cycle speaks to you, I invite you to join me in this practice. Sign up to receive notifications of my posts by email. Use the link in the right hand column of the blog posts or email me at joanncalabrese@gmail.com. And if you do adopt this practice, I’d love to hear how it is working for you.

For the past two years I have posted a blog every 14 days, each new moon and full moon. Because of some other writing projects, I will just be posting only at the new moon for the time being, but there are links to my previous posts below.
