Hello Reader,
We are welcomed into February by the fiery glow of the Leo Full Moon. Arriving on the 1st of the month, she feels like a soothing embrace, uniting the quiet, watery depths of January with the bright, creative fire of the weeks to come.
A Moment to Just Be
I want to take a slow breath with you for a moment. I know how much you’ve been carrying. This past Friday, during the national walkout and economic blackout, many of us stepped into a quiet container, choosing Rest as Resistance. In a world that can feel like a constant assault on our human rights, we might also feel abandoned by those with the power to act. It’s all right to feel worn thin and to acknowledge that your heart is in pain because of the state of the world. In a society that treats rest as something you have to earn, choosing to rest is actually a beautiful expression of rebellion. It’s a way of saying, “My soul is not for sale, and my peace is a priority.”
Tending Your Inner Hearth
Leo is the sign of the heart, and this moon reminds us to be our own best advocates. Our nervous systems weren’t built to carry the weight of the whole world at once. If you’ve felt the need to unplug, to turn down the volume of the news, or to retreat into your own space—please hear me: That is not just okay; it is necessary. When the “outer home” of our society feels fractured, we return to the inner hearth. We tend to our own light so we don’t burn out. This isn’t about looking away; it’s about fueling ourselves so we can keep showing up with love.
Leo Full Moon Ritual: A Gentle Return
For this Super Moon, I invite you to a ritual to invite softness.
- The Invitation: Create a cozy container that makes you feel held and supported. Maybe some blankets and pillows to support your body, but in space where you can feel the ground beneath you. Remind your body: “You are safe here. You are allowed to be quiet.”
- The Release: Place a hand on your heart. Acknowledge the heaviness of the collective grief we’ve been feeling. Instead of “fixing” it, just breathe into it. Say to yourself, “I am doing enough. I am allowed to rest.”
- The Spark: What is one small thing that brings you a spark of joy? A song, a flower, a deep breath of fresh air? Focus on that for three slow breaths. Let that be your Leo fire today—not a wildfire, but a steady, comforting candle.
- The Seal: If you have a clearing stone like selenite, or even just your own soft touch, gently brush your arms. Imagine you are clearing away the “static” of the world, leaving so you can feel your energy and the peace within.
Moving Toward the Eclipse
We are standing at a threshold. This Full Moon is our final “deep breath” before the shifts of Eclipse Season begin. Use this time to nourish yourself. Listen to what your heart is whispering—not what the world is shouting.
Holding Space for You
If the heaviness these current events feel like it's just too much or if you’re finding it hard to move through the grief, please know you don’t have to carry it alone. I’m available for one-to-one somatic coaching and vibrational sound therapy sessions. These are gentle, private containers where we can work with your nervous system to find a sense of safety and release at a pace that feels kind to your body.
You can also join our weekly meditation group “Rest as Resistance” beginning February 11th. It’s donation-based and virtual, so you can attend from anywhere.
Schedule your free consultation here.
As this beautiful Leo Moon rises, I hope you feel the radiance of your own spirit. You are allowed to be soft. You are allowed to change your mind. You are allowed to rest.
In gratitude,
Opportunities to Gather
There are a few opportunities to experience community and sound in a safe and supportive space. If you have questions about these offerings, please feel free to reach out. I'd love to hear from you.
Although I am taking the winter months off from in-person sound baths, you can join a virtual event below. These events are held with the same care and intention as live group events. You can experience immersive sound, meditation, and even private sessions from the comfort of your home.
Our next in-person sound bath will be held on the Spring Equinox. Feel free to register for future events or visit my website to view all upcoming events and opportunities to gather here.

TWO SPOTS LEFT. JOIN US TONIGHT.
Imbolc Sound Immersion @ Merakí Collective, Vancouver, Washington | Saturday, January 31
Imbolc is a threshold.
Not winter. Not spring.
The quiet in-between where something new is already stirring beneath the surface.
Join Sasha Bainson and me for an Imbolc Sound Ceremony—a space to rest inside the bardo, the liminal pause between what has been and what is becoming.
We’ll open with a ceremony and ritual, then settle into an immersive dual crystal singing bowl sound bath, woven with inspired song and organic acoustic instruments to create a lush soundscape. This is a space for your nervous system to soften, your breath to slow, and your inner flame to be gently tended.
Come cozy. Bring a journal.
Arrive exactly as you are.
Let the returning light meet you where you stand.
Where: Meraki Collective | Vancouver, WA
When: January 31 | 6 PM

This is a sober, no-process zone, a place to lay the weight down and reclaim your own resonance.
