The Dark Moon—the night before the New Moon—is a sacred and powerful time for inner reflection, release, and renewal. In this quiet, introspective phase, the energy of letting go is at its peak, making it the perfect moment to release what no longer serves you—whether fears, doubts, insecurities, or old patterns—so that space can be made for clarity, growth, and transformation.

 Working with the Crone Goddess 

In this workshop, we honour the Crone Goddess, the wise and compassionate guide of endings and transitions. She embodies:

• Wisdom
• Compassion
• Healing
• Gentleness
• Non-judgement
• Unconditional Love

She invites us into her sacred cauldron of Death & Rebirth, holding us safely as we surrender the old and step into the new. Through her guidance, we release what weighs us down and reconnect with our authentic, sovereign selves.

You are invited into a Sacred Circle and Sacred Space, where you will be gently guided to:

• Release old hurts, doubts, fears, and limiting beliefs
• Embrace stillness, reflection, and the wisdom of the Crone
• Open to renewal, inner strength, and the promise of new beginnings

 The Ceremony Experience 

During this magickal afternoon, we will:

• Work within a Sacred Circle, invoking the Elements and Directions
• Connect with the Crone and the transformative power of the Dark Moon
• Release fears, shadows, and emotional burdens into the Cauldron of Death & Rebirth

As you release, you create space for clarity, alignment, and a more fulfilling path forward.

 Healing & Inner Work 

This workshop offers a nurturing space to gently explore:

• Emotional and energetic blockages
• Repeating patterns, fears, and limiting beliefs
• Reconnection with your authentic self

Through guided meditation, reflection, and journaling, you will be invited to listen to the still, small voice of your soul and explore:

• What part of me feels lost, unwanted, or forgotten? Why?
• What am I afraid to let go of, even if it limits me?
• What belief or wound keeps repeating in my life?
• What does my inner child need from me right now?
• What do I deeply long to feel and to be?

 What Wants to Heal? 

This is your moment to:

• Bring the unconscious into awareness
• Meet your truth with compassion
• Integrate lost or fragmented aspects of yourself
• Align with your soul’s wisdom and inner guidance
