The new moon represents new beginnings—a blank slate to realign your goals, replenish your energy, and cultivate inner calm. It’s the perfect time to slow down, reflect, and set meaningful intentions. During this retreat, you’ll harness this energy to nurture your mind, body, and spirit through mindful practices designed to embrace growth and healing.
