Lotus Moons 2025 - 2026
Lotus Moons at Sacred Ground
Monthly Moon Ceremonies | November – March
Step into a sacred space this winter season and discover a more empowering way to move through the darker months of the year. Inspired by Earth-wisdom traditions, Lotus Moons invites you to experience November through March not as a time to simply “get through,” but as a season rich with reflection, ritual, and renewal.
Each ceremony offers a guided container for powerful intentions, self-discovery, community support, and alignment with purpose. Together, we’ll weave practices that help you stay grounded, centered, and inspired—so that by the time spring arrives, you’ll feel clear, bright, and ready to blossom.
The Journey: Four Doorways
Over the course of the season, our monthly themes will open a deeper layer within:
Door 1: Appreciating & Releasing – honoring what has been, making space for what is to come
Door 2: Stillness & Silence – embracing rest, presence, and the wisdom in the pause
Door 3: Listening to Wisdom Whispers – tuning into inner guidance and Earth’s quiet teachings
Door 4: Planting Dream Seeds – calling in vision, purpose, and possibility for the spring ahead
What Makes This Journey Unique
A Committed Circle: The same group of women will walk through all four months together, creating trust, depth, and genuine sisterhood.
Continued Connection: A private WhatsApp group will keep us connected between ceremonies—offering a space to share reflections, support, and inspiration as we move through this sacred season together.
Rituals to Embody: Each theme comes with practices you can carry into daily life, helping you stay grounded and aligned throughout winter.
Shared Witnessing: In circle, you’ll be seen and heard, while also offering your presence to support others on their journey.
Who It’s For
Women seeking to move through the winter months with deeper meaning, ritual, and authentic community. Whether you’re craving stillness, clarity, spiritual connection, or sisterhood, Lotus Moons offers a sacred container to be held, seen, and supported.
Why It Matters
In a culture that rushes through the seasons, these ceremonies help us slow down, align with natural cycles, and reclaim the wisdom of winter. By honoring endings, embracing stillness, listening deeply, and planting intentional seeds, you’ll emerge into spring feeling rooted, purposeful, and radiant—with a circle of women who’ve shared the journey by your side.

The Pause Between Seasons: A Morning Retreat with Maureen & Maria
The Pause Between Seasons: A Morning of Gentle Yoga, Sound Healing, & Sisterhood
Saturday, September 6 | 830–11:00 AM | Luna Bee Lavender Farm, Barrington, IL
As the golden days of summer give way to the crisp whispers of autumn, there’s a sacred pause—a moment to breathe. With kids back in school and routines settling in, this is your time to slow down, refill your own cup, and honor the beautiful transitions of life.
Join us for a women’s morning mini-retreat nestled among the sunflowers at Luna Bee Farm. We’ll begin with an opening circle to ground and connect, move through gentle, heart-opening yoga, and then surrender to the healing waves of a restorative sound bath under the late-summer sky, surrounded by the radiance of sunflowers.
Why sunflowers? Sunflowers symbolize joy, resilience, and turning toward the light—reminding us to follow our inner compass no matter the season we’re in. Their radiant blooms invite us to stand tall, open our hearts, and soak in life’s sweetness, even as change swirls around us.
Come as you are—whether you’re craving stillness, seeking connection, or simply longing to be surrounded by beauty. Together, we’ll breathe, move, and be held by community and nature’s magic.
What’s Included:
Opening circle for grounding & connection
Gentle yoga practice suitable for all levels
A personalized eye pillow to use and to keep
Restorative sound bath for deep relaxation
Time to soak in the sunflower fields & connect with like-hearted women
Closing fire ceremony to welcome in renewal and transformation
✨ Your space to recharge, recenter, and return to yourself.

Sound Bath at YogaSix
Join us in this sound bath to embody a time of deep rest.
Feel cleansed, grounded and balanced by immersing yourself in healing sounds and vibrations. This Sound Bath utilizes frequency, vibration and stillness to create a meditative and relaxing environment that promotes a sense of calm and peace in a fast-paced world. Through guided meditation, crystal singing bowls, a gong, and chimes, this sound journey will enable you to enter a deep theta brainwave state, in which healing is stimulated at the cellular level.
Space is limited.

POP-UP EVENT - INTUITIVE PAINTING IN THE PINES: A CREATIVE NATURE IMMERSION
Take a sacred pause from your routine and reconnect with your joy, intuition, and inner child—through art, nature, and community.
Join us for a heart-opening outdoor experience where we’ll hike into a peaceful pine grove and create freely in the healing presence of the Earth. Using paint and playful prompts as our guide, you’ll be invited to let go of perfection and allow your intuition to lead the way. This isn’t about being an “artist”—it’s about reconnecting with your essence.
Together, we’ll breathe, ground, and release mental chatter so your heart can speak through color and creativity. In this supportive space, you’ll experience the power of:
Art as a channel for flow and intuition
Nature as a healing force
Community as a container for play, expression, and connection
The first 15 minutes includes a gentle, mindful hike into the tall pines, where we'll begin with a short ritual to ground and open. From there, you’ll be guided to paint, play, and connect—letting inspiration emerge organically from within. We will close with tea and a sharing circle.
No art experience necessary—just bring your open heart. (Art supplies provided.)
What to Bring: We recommend you bring a water bottle, a blanket/yoga mat to sit on, a journal and pen, and bug spray. Also, please make sure to use the bathroom before going on the hike.
