An Exploration of Myth,
Lunar Wisdom, & Your Story

"I have never been more aware and attuned to the Moon rotations. Thank you for sharing and teaching us with such grace and wisdom!"
- Savitri Carlson

Explore your true nature as you uncover how your personal story is shaped by the rhythms of the moon.

In these highly interactive gatherings, we will explore how lunar cycles influence your energy, creativity, decision-making, and capacity for restoration. Along the way we will learn myths from around the world and discover the ancient wisdom living within them, and how to apply the living intelligence of stories and myths to our everyday lives.

Through moʻolelo (Hawaiian stories and mythology) and sacred storytelling practices, you will learn how to navigate your life in alignment with natural cycles — understanding when to turn inward, when to act outwardly, and how to tend your energy with greater awareness.
