The October New Moon and solar eclipse is upon us! This is a time for turning inward and setting intentions for what you'd like to grow during the upcoming moon cycle. We'll talk about clearing the decks in order to create a more conducive space for the reflective work the new moon calls us to do. The autumn leaves are finally starting to change as we take this crisp morning walk through my favorite cemetery. Get ready for crunchy leaves, squawking crows, and fallen acorns under foot. Take in the array of sounds as you envision all you hope to manifest during this cycle!
