As humans, we’ve always loved circles. For the comfort of their equality and openness. For the ability to hold space for our connection and shared experiences.

HuMoon Circles blend Eastern mindful awareness tradition and Native American nature-based practices to help you let go of what’s no longer needed, connect with wild nature and come closer to feeling alive… in the heart of A city.

Next HuMoon Circle: 3 October 2024 in Amsterdam, Netherlands

the “Moon” part

Super easy to stay connected with wild nature when you’re out in the lofty mountains, or the open sea… not so easy, when you live in a busy city.

Although cities are nature too: much like coral reefs are “buildings of the ocean” – it’s hard to connect and remember the wilderness when surrounded by concrete, glass and traffic.

The only reminder of the wilderness and otherness – is the moon that even the big city lights cannot outshine. It knows the way to the depth of our being. The moon goes through a ceremony – twice in its cycle: full moon and new moon. So at least twice a month the energies are so powerful that even a city dweller like you, feels it.

the “Hu-” part

Gathering in circles began since the dawn of humanity. We shared stories, have our growth witnessed by the tribe and connected with each other – in circles. And there’s an abundance of gender focused circles: Women circles… men circles – I respect and benefit myself from those. 

But something inexplicable happens when we come together just as human beings. When we share the “otherness” of one another with each other, thus unveiling what’s behind biological differences as we sit, side by side. After all, the body is just a vessel for the psyche, for the Inner Self, expressed differently.

It helps us understand each other, better.

The Circle

Trained in Vedantic School of Thought of Sivananda lineage in India, representing the robust immovable structures – and Mayan Cosmology of Alta Verapaz in Guatemala – representing the softness and dynamic nature of our Earth, I invite you to surrender to those elements within yourself and take part in a HuMoon Circle.

Each HuMoon Circle follows the same schedule:

  • Arrival (allow 10 minutes to arrive to the space)
  • Doors close. Invitation to honour our commitments we make to ourselves: no admission for late coming we create a space together and together we leave. 
  • Arrival to the body: meditation, pranayama (yogic breath)
  • Alignment to the Moon phase and the nawal (spirit energy) of the day
  • Intention setting and full serving of ceremonial grade cacao
  • Heart opening Yin postures [20-30 minutes]
  • Yoga Nidra-based body awareness and visualisation journey based off the Moon phase and the nawales [30-40 minutes]

Frequently asked questions / FAQs:

Is this religious? 
No, the journey is towards yourself – so whatever faith you follow or don’t – all is welcome.

Yin is a gentle practice, often encouraged for relaxation and injury recovery. 

I hate chocolate / cacao / can’t drink it, do I have to drink to get the benefits?
You don’t have to: you will still benefit from the other components of the gathering

Yes, as long as you are within 1st or 2nd trimester and drink only 1/3 of the cacao serving.
