Something to consider:

This workshop COUNT ON THE MOON, begins with HILO (The New Moon down in the bottom right-hand corner of the calendar above).  Today is a time of darkness, a time of gathering energy, looking forward to the yet to be.  The New Moon is a perfect time to set your intentions for a new Moon Cycle, the next 30 days.  Though the focus of this workshop are the Seven Moons of the 'Ole Cycles, tonight's moon is the moon of SETTING NEW INTENTIONS, and new beginnings.

We have time to plan ahead while remaining present for HILO.  Click here to move to the next session 'HILO ... Moon of New Beginnings'
