Full Moon Eclipse Sound Ceremony with Taylor Ann Trad — August 27th

Be with us on Thursday, August 27th from 7:00pm to 8:30pm for a 90-minute ceremony of tea, breath, sound, and stillness in Venice.

Tomorrow night, the last full moon of summer dims into a partial lunar eclipse in Pisces — the sign of water, rest, and release. A full moon has always marked a completion: the month's light at its fullest, showing us clearly what we've been living with. An eclipse deepens the moment. It asks us not just to see, but to let something end.

And this one arrives with a rare companion: clarity. While the Pisces moon invites release, the Sun and Mercury stand together in Virgo — the part of the sky that sees things exactly as they are. Clear seeing on one side, letting go on the other. Most of us were never taught how to do both at once — to look honestly at what we're carrying, and to set it down while still standing.

Because we are carrying so much. The open tabs. The unanswered messages. The vigilance of being reachable from the moment we wake. And beneath the digital noise, the older weights — the thing we keep managing that was never ours to manage, the holding-together we've done for so long it feels like part of the body. We don't notice the load anymore. Only the tiredness.

This evening is for noticing.

The ceremony moves like water finding its level. It begins with herbal tea — phones away, shoulders down, the first small act of setting something aside. Breath deepens the quiet, led by the long exhale — space to slow down, soften, unwind from the pace of the day, and settle more fully into the present moment. From there, a guided visualization carries you to the water's edge, where you find the weight you're ready to set down. Journaling offers language to what has quietly come into view — because we can only truly release what we've let ourselves see. And a full immersive sound meditation washes through, letting the release finish itself below language, in the body, where it counts.

By then, the question at the center of the evening will already be yours: What am I ready to stop carrying so I can move forward with greater clarity and ease?

This is the second of two August ceremonies. On August 11th, in the dark before the solar eclipse, we listened for what the heart is asking. Tonight we set down what was crowding it out — and walk light into the new season.

The moon is full. The water is waiting. Come put it down.
