NEPA Yoga Fest

Dark Moon Ceremony: Release & Reset
The Dark Moon is the exhale before the inhale — the quiet clearing before new seeds are planted.


In yogic spirituality, transformation begins with awareness and conscious release. 


Before intention-setting and new moon wishes, there is a natural pause — a moment to reflect, to notice what feels complete, and to gently release what no longer needs to be carried forward.


In this ceremony, we’ll work with that threshold through guided reflection, written release, breath, and a symbolic fire ritual — offering what we’ve written to the flame as an act of conscious completion.


This is not about force or dramatic transformation. It’s about honoring the rhythm of release before renewal — creating space so what comes next has room to take root.


Participants will leave with:
A simple step-by-step framework and curated playlist for working with the Dark Moon each month
Reflective journaling prompts to support ongoing reflection and release
A moon-based oracle card as a keepsake from the festival, offering a guiding word or reflection prompt for continued journaling and integration


All participation is invitational. No experience needed.
