Notes:
All Full and New Moon dates are based on Pacific Standard Time, and festival dates are based on Sha'can tradition observances.
A Blue Moon is the second full moon in a calendar month; a Black Moon is the second new moon in a calendar month. Both are considered particularly auspicious for ritual work.
Feel free to contact us if you would like to participate in any of our community's more intimate gatherings, such as purnima full moon or amavasya new moon meditation, spiritual teaching, and ritual circles. And be sure to subscribe to our newsletter for updates on open circles, special events and other news!
