Amāvasyā

Dark Moon Gathering

Turn Inward · Empty · Renew

Under the stillness of the dark moon, we gather to turn inward, become quiet, release what has completed its cycle, and make space for what is yet to emerge.

The Experience

Each Amāvasyā gathering is woven with practices that invite stillness, inward listening and renewal.

MaunaSilence to withdraw from the outer and listen within.
MovementSlow embodied movement to soften and settle.
BreathConscious breath to clear, regulate and release.
SwādhyāyaSelf-enquiry, contemplation and reflection.
AgniAgni to release, transform and renew.
SoundMantra, kirtan and sound to deepen inward awareness.
BhūmiGrounding practices and time in nature to reconnect.
BhojanSattvic plant-based Bhojan to nourish and ground.

Practices may vary with the season, the facilitators and the energy of the gathering.

How Amāvasyā Unfolds

Evening Ceremony

Some gatherings are held as an intimate evening ceremony, moving through practice, fire, silence and reflection.

Overnight Gathering

Some continue through the night and into the morning, allowing a deeper period of Mauna, rest and morning practice.

24-Hour Immersion

Some unfold as a complete 24-hour immersion — moving slowly through silence, Swādhyāya, nature, Bhojan and integration.

No two Amāvasyā gatherings are the same.What remains is the invitation to become quietenough to listen.
