SATURDAY, AUGUST 29th
Lunar Eclipse + Sturgeon Full Moon
cleanse the soul
a magical evening on the river with Sarah Moody and Salt + Pepper.
Join us for a grounding riverside evening as we honor the Sturgeon Moon, virgo season and lunar eclipse. 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. As summer energy shifts and we reach for quieter atmospheres, routines to start, and cooler weather, the Sturgeon Moon can be felt intensely with the summer sun and the brightness from the moon illumination, making it the best time to reflect and notice what’s not working for us, looking inward and finding our way back to trusting our sacred intuition.
The evening begins with welcome drinks, snacks, and diy herbal + floral smudging sticks, followed by a creative intention-setting where Sarah will encourage reflection and conversation through question prompts.
We will move into a guided meditation focused on gratitude, manifestation, and connecting with the energy of the season. (Guests are encouraged to bring a yoga mat for meditation.)
We will gather around a long communal table for a family-style dinner inspired by the abundance of late summer produce and our connection to Mother Earth. Our menu will incorporate local and wild ingredients whenever possible, thoughtfully prepared over an open fire and shared in community.
After dinner we’re cranking the radio, and with glasses full and hearts open, we will end the night dancing under the moonlight, eating an assortment of desserts, and chatting with new friends.
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.
