honoring the light within  

a magical evening on the river  with Sarah Moody and Salt + Pepper.


 


Join us for a grounding riverside evening as we honor the Summer Solstice, celebrating the year's longest day and the radiant light that connects us all. Under Sarah Moody's gentle guidance, this evening promises to weave together community, nature, and meaningful ritual in a truly transformative celebration.


Surrounded by nature, we'll embrace the season's traditions through mindful reflection, nourishing food, and meaningful connection. Together, we'll slow down, set intentions, and welcome the abundance, warmth, and vitality that summer brings.


The evening begins with welcome drinks and light snacks, followed by a creative intention-setting where guests will choose a hand-picked card and a question personally addressed by Sarah to encourage reflection and conversation.


We will gather around a long communal table for a family-style dinner inspired by the spirit of foraging and the natural abundance of early summer. Our menu will incorporate local and wild ingredients whenever possible, thoughtfully prepared over an open fire and shared in community.


As the sun begins to set, we will move into a guided meditation and reflective journaling session focused on gratitude, manifestation, and connecting with the energy of the season. (Guests are encouraged to bring a yoga mat for meditation.)


We will end the evening on the deck with dessert and a final reflection.



We can't wait for you to join us!

Sarah Moody bridges the science of the mind with the mysticism of the soul. With a degree in Psychology and a devotion to the symbolic language of Astrology, her work is rooted in both study and intuition. As a 6/3 Projector in Human Design with clear, non-emotional authority, Sarah’s gift is perception. She sees what others miss. She names what others feel but cannot articulate. Her clarity is not reactive; it is defined, steady and sacred. Rather than offering surface level predictions, she guides clients into profound self remembrance.


Her Approach

I don’t believe in fear-based astrology or fatalistic narratives. I believe we are the inputs of our reality. We are made from the stars, influenced by  a unique arrangement of personal planets. Around us, transiting planets spiral in cyclical motion, expanding us, challenging us, and guiding us outward. Life is not about control; it is about understanding the currents that shape our experience. I see astrology as a tool for remembering your flow. When you reconnect with the rhythm of your chart, your timing, and the energies moving through you - you awaken your capacity to grow.
