Lunar reset, Cancer edition (bring tissues? 😭)


Hi, Reader —

Happy solstice! It’s so bright at night, isn’t it wonderous?

For my Montreal neighbours: did you make it to Morpho Bleu on Saturday for our solstice celebrations? What a day of discoveries and deep practice, from Nadine’s Quantum Flow, to a powerful sound experience with Sarah Surrenders, to our much-anticipated seasonal forecast with Astro Auntie. Even despite my still-raspy voice (ugghh, summer colds: mine was brought on by exhaustion after such a busy few weeks), I was so excited to soak it all in.

The Imprint for summer also began last week, and even though our live sessions are over, you can still join on-demand. The recordings are here for you all summer long. And it’s an important reminder, as Astro Auntie tells us, “there is no air in summer!” That’s literal — this heat wave that’s coming to the east coast will be stifling — but also true metaphorically. No air signs: Cancer is water, Leo is fire, Virgo earth. The air, we have to bring it ourselves. Breath and meditation are so important, I encourage you to not miss this Imprint — keep meditating and breathing all season long.

To kick off Cancer season, it’s more Lunar Magic this week: the actual moon arrives on Wednesday but we’ll meet just ahead of it, on Tuesday, June 24 at 19h00 EDT, live on Zoom.

We’ve reached the halfway point of the year, the seasonal apogee. From here we can review our rise and consider our descent. Which seeds are you dreaming into existence for the winter solstice? Or just for the seemingly short few weeks of summer ahead?

Cancer season brings a deep exhale. After a high-energy spring — the push of Aries, the growth of Taurus, the bloom of Gemini — we’ve reached the top of the seasonal mountain. Strawberries, at last! And now, the invitation is to soften. Cancer’s medicine is tenderness, intuition, rest. It asks us to turn toward the self, to feel what we’ve avoided, and to allow ourselves to be held — by our practices, by each other, by the knowing that it’s okay to be sensitive. It’s natural to act in the name of love.

This New Moon, renewing in her home sign of Cancer, offers a return to our own home frequency — the inner place where we feel calm, safe, true. To get there, we have to feel. Feel the fullness of what’s here, even the messy bits. That’s the real magic of this moon: it’s not about performance, but presence.

🌑 Join me for a free one-hour practice of meditation, breath, and journaling — a quiet, potent container to meet this moment.

Remember — every new moon, the start of the cycle, is a free hour-long gathering of meditation, mantra, journaling and sharing. Every full moon (the next one is in July!) we take time for a longer 90-minute workshop-style practice, with more movement and breath work, and priced accordingly. It’s one of my favourite rhythms of the month — the gentle seed at new moon, the big crescendo at full.

Get ready to feel it all...

Big love —
Sara

Hey there, Reader — Endings can be hard. Admittedly, I’m not very good at them! And, I’ve learned that to make room for new growth, we have to let go. It’s a part of life. This seasonal shift – summer into fall – always stirs something deep. Sadness as the play of summer gives way to routine…Nostalgia, perhaps, or longing for your “back-to-” moment. And at the same time, relief at the return of structure, cooler air, and the crisp clarity of something new. We must first honour the endings, to...

Hiiii there, Reader — Perhaps you noticed that The Imprint is back for fall! If it’s been a while, and you’re curious about this upcoming session, I invite you to join me in person (for those of you in Montreal) at Morpho Bleu on Saturday, September 13 at 10:30am. We’ll have a wonderful session together to learn how to start a simple meditation practice. For those of you who can’t make it to that gathering, I know you might still be wondering: → What exactly is The Imprint? → How do I make...

Hi, Reader — First week of September is here – I just got back from vacation, the kids are back in school, and holy heck – this season is already in full swing! 🍎✏️ How has your week kicked off? Wednesday’s Full Moon Eclipse practice was such a gift. Were you there? We explored what it means to become crystal clear – about what we’re ready to release, and about the kind of presence we want to embody. Whether live or on the replay, every time we step into practice we add something positive to...
