When it comes to sacred endings and sacred beginnings, “death” is a topic often filled with avoidance, fear, and dread. In so many ways, we are taught to fear death, not even acknowledging it, and to live as if we'll never die.
This fall equinox, we will explore the transformative power of the death process and the opportunities it grants us to truly live and appreciate life. Nature has a death process cyclically, and on the other end is a birth.
Death and rebirth, two ends of the cocoon, the sacred tunnel, the (re)birth canal.
Under the focused guide of sacred sound, we'll connect with ancestors on the other side and contemplate our experiences of death. Through cord cutting, we will explore death as a release and letting go. And finally, we will feel into the unique ability of death and grief to grant an orientation more towards compassion, acceptance, and living more in the present moment.
We look forward to coming together this fall for a powerful circle with you. 🍂🖤
Join circle facilitators Nadine Calderon and Louisa Meyer to connect with yourself in a safe and sacredly held community alongside other inspiring women. Moonrose Circle offers an invitation to pause, love yourself, find a sense of calm, and give yourself permission to be who you truly are.

What to expect: Circles are held in person. They offer time to share what's on your heart as you feel called, participate in a guided mindfulness practice (yoga, meditation, or sound healing), and a creative activity connected to the month's topic such as painting, embroidery, watercolor, and more: an invitation to honor yourself and practice self-love in a safe and fun environment.
What to bring and keep in mind:
Circles are sacred space. Respect, conscientiousness, and confidentiality are important tenets of keeping a space intentional, safe, and true to its purpose (held with integrity). We expect all attendees to uphold these tenets in holding a co-creative seat during circle participation.
Arrive 10-15 minutes early to allow time for parking, shoe removal, and settling in.
To drop deeper into presence, recommend limiting your phone use during circles if possible.
Bring: water, yoga mat, journal/pen, blanket optional, and yourself as you are.
Wear: comfortable clothes. The studio runs hot so layers may be ideal to remove if needed.
An example of what 2 hours in our circle may include:
- Opening ceremony
- Mindfulness Belly Breathing
- Journaling while sipping warm and delicious tea
- Sharing from the heart
- Dance break
- Watercolor abstract painting activity
- Yin Yoga
- Closing circle
This event is for you if you:
Have been craving "ME time" and self-care practices
Want to be part of a soulful and powerful community of sisters
Identify with the feminine energy/archetype
Want to connect with the power of the moon and its cycles
Desire to be heard and seen for who you truly are in a safe and nurturing space
Are interested in exploring your spiritual truth
To make your circle experience as present and settled as possible, please let us know if you need any accommodations. We typically sit on the floor with the assistance of bolsters, blocks, or blankets. Attendees should plan to bring their own water bottle, journal, pen, and wear layers as the studio runs hot.
Optional items include a special object of your choice that you wish to place on the altar (picture, journal, deck, a piece of jewelry, anything that has a sentimental value to you).
All materials for the circle activity will be provided unless otherwise noted.
Contact: If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to contact us via email at hello@moonrosecircle.com.
With love and gratitude,
Nadine and Louisa
