This Friday we’re back and this time, under the Full "Buck" Moon in the sign of Capricorn for our next outdoor event!

Named after the season when young deer grow their antlers, the Buck Moon is all about stepping into your power, showing up strong, and dancing wild and free.

Capricorn keeps us grounded, while the full moon lights the way for a night of fun, release, and community connection.
