Hi, Reader —

Enjoying these dog days? I love this time of year and remark on it every year – dog days, because of the heat, because Sirius is rising in the sky, because my goodest boy Bodhi loves to play outside, as do we all! I hope summer’s fire hasn’t burnt you out, and you’re using your breath to keep summer light and airy.

Did you know yesterday was International Moon Day? Well, I’ve decided we’re extending the celebration....

It’s moon week, baby! A chance to honour the mystical, magical, ever-changing moon that keeps tugging at our tides—and our hearts.

And lucky us: she’s about to go dark again.

The Leo New Moon rises this Thursday, and we’ll gather the evening before—Wednesday 23 July at 19h00—for our Lunar Magic practice, online on Zoom. Meditation, journaling, sharing: new moons bring an accessible free practice. As always, you’ll receive the replay shortly after, so you can tune in again (or for the first time) under the actual New Moon, if that feels right.

New Moons are for beginning again. Planting seeds. Whispering prayers into the void. This one? It’s asking you to bring your full self to the altar.

This week’s Leo New Moon is a bright, bold invitation to come home to yourself—and to let yourself be seen in all your light. Leo reminds us we are not here to shrink, people-please, or edit ourselves for comfort. We’re here to shine.

This lunation whispers (or maybe roars): it’s safe to be you. Fully. Lovingly. Loudly, if that’s your style. It’s also a time to release the roles and masks we’ve outgrown and step more courageously into the truth of who we are now—especially in the places where fear, perfectionism, or old stories have kept us small.

And yes, it’s still summer, and maybe your days feel full—of people, plans, emotions, heat. And beneath the brightness, the moon invites a moment of quiet devotion. A pause. A turning inward. To feel what’s ready to emerge from your own heart. I hope you answer the call.

✨What would it look like to trust your heart completely?
✨What if the most generous thing you could offer the world… is your full self?

This New Moon is for intention. For soul. Light a candle. And ask yourself:
✨What are you ready to create— not just for the world, but for your own becoming?

Join me Wednesday evening as we gather for some Leo Lunar Magic—to honour this moon, this moment, and the radiance that lives inside you. Always has.

See you Wednesday!​

PS: remember — Every new moon, at the start of each cycle, I hold an accessible free hour-long Lunar Magic with meditation and mantra, with journaling and some sharing. Every full moon, we take time for a longer 90 minute practice, workshop-style and priced accordingly. Meditate and breathe with me tonight — Lunar Magic is always around us!
