Awakening Asheville

Join us for a welcoming and inclusive New Moon Circle, where all bodies and all genders are invited to participate in this sacred gathering. This event is a beautiful opportunity to pause, reflect, and align with the energies of the New Moon—a powerful time for setting intentions and manifesting our desires for the month ahead.

Our circle will begin with a grounding meditation, creating a space for relaxation and inner connection. Together, we will share our personal intentions, holding space for one another in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. We will also dive into the astrological influences of the New Moon and other energetic currents, discussed in an accessible way that resonates with both beginners and seasoned practitioners.

By the end of the circle, you will leave with greater clarity and purpose, feeling empowered to take inspired action as you move forward into the new lunar cycle. Whether you're new to moon rituals or a longtime participant, this circle will offer insight, connection, and a sense of renewal.

Come as you are—everyone is welcome. Let’s harness the magic of the New Moon together!

Bring your friends and remember to carpool!

This is a free event.

All donations are welcome to help support the use of the event venue.

What to Bring:

• A journal and pen
• Please bring any comfort items you may desire: blankets, pillows, bolsters, eye mask, etc. We do not yet have enough community items for everyone.
• An altar item - this can be a photo, crystal, something you found in nature that you desire to help hold the imprint of our time together.
• Your sober self. This is a sober event, meaning no substances other than your own sacred being.
• Curiosity and an open mind and heart

Our Circle Agreements

🌑 All are welcome. There is no competition or hierarchy here—no one is above or below another. We meet as equals, honoring the wisdom within each of us.

🌑 Self-awareness over judgment. If judgment arises (because we are human), see it as an opportunity for self-reflection. We are all mirrors for one another.

🌑 Confidentiality and respect. This is a safe and sacred space. What is shared here stays here.

🌑 Honor your needs. Move as you need to—get water, use the restroom, grab a tissue. You are a sovereign being and can care for yourself as needed.

🌑 Emotions are sacred. There is no need to hold back, apologize, or adjust your emotions to fit others. Your experience is your own medicine.

🌑 Witness, don’t fix. We honor each other as whole beings. We hold space for one another without assuming needs or rushing to console. Simply witnessing is enough.

This circle is especially for you if you are a woman at midlife or beyond— a sacred space for you to step into a deeper, more loving relationship with your body and your wise, intuitive self.

In this month’s Wisdom Streams Circle with Dr. Neesa Mills, we’ll explore how to access the three centers of feminine intuition, invaluable practices to reconnect you with your inner knowing, embodied truth, and soul direction.

This monthly circle is an empowering place to rest into your inner wisdom and find support in the embrace of other women.

Self-Care and Community of Practice Led by Black Facilitators, for the Black Community.

About this Event
"Caring for myself is not self - indulgence; it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare." Audre Lorde

This is an invitation specifically for persons who identify as Black or African American and are overwhelmed with the injustice of the world and are ready to create space in their lives for self-care as we fight for justice for all! (We offer a parallel session for Allies to connect, learn and find support in their work to dismantle racism at allies.eventbrite.com)

We believe Black people deserve a space to relax, reassess, and realign ourselves.

We are a collective of Black stress-management & wellness instructors inspired by human values.

We are here to facilitate your journey of trauma-relief and stress-management.

Imagine how much more energy you will have and how much more powerful you will be when you cut your stress levels in half!

And it can be done in just a few minutes using nothing but your own breath...

Over the last 10 years, we've taught over 100,000 people to do just that.
The key is that your breath is directly linked to your emotions.

This 1-Hour Restorative Session Includes:
-Open, safe space for sharing and self-care for Black people
-Facilitated discussion
-Breath work and meditation

Led by Black facilitators, certified in stress and trauma relief.
