Edenology - New Moon Nourish
Make it stand out
New Moon Nourish
New Moon Nourish
An evening of sacred nourishment for body, mind, and soul.
The New Moon marks a time of stillness, receptivity, and planting seeds for what’s to come. In this space of new beginnings, we gather to nourish from within . . . through healing food, conscious presence, and the vibration of our shared voices.
We’ll begin with a grounded yin yoga flow. Next, a heartful plant-based soup, made with clean, organic ingredients and shared in community. Each guest will receive the recipe card to carry the ritual home, so you can alchemize nourishment in your own sacred space.
Then we journey into a Bhakti Yoga Meditation song circle, a devotional practice of call-and-response singing that opens the heart and uplifts the spirit. This is not performance, it’s participation. As we sing together, we activate the healing resonance of our voices, raising the vibration within us and throughout our collective field.
Throughout history, yoga, food, and song have been central to communal rituals, used to honor the sacred, celebrate life, and purify the spirit. In New Moon Nourish, we weave these ancient threads into a modern, intentional ceremony of presence, gratitude, and connection.
Come to be fed. Come to be felt. Come to remember the power of sharing simple, sacred nourishment . . . together.

Edenology - Ruah Elohim
Make it stand out
Ruah Elohim
You might be asking “what in the world is that?”
Ruah Elohim (also spelled Ruach) is an ancient Hebrew name for God most closely related to BREATH, SPIRIT and WIND. This Hebrew name for God is first seen in the creation story of Genesis in Genesis 1:1-2“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the "Spirit of God" (Ruah Elohim) was hovering over the waters.”
Yoga is the Sanskrit word translated as UNION or TO YOKE. Traditionally the practice of yoga aims to yoke the breath with movement. Yogic philosophy is deeply rooted in connecting the mind, body and spirit. Which is often seen as fragmented or separated parts of the self by western thinkers. In Ruah Elohim Yoga we utilize “yoga”- breathing and stretching, to yoke ourselves to the Holy Spirit. This can act as a way for us to connect with God not just with our minds intellectually in reading or writing, but with our entire beings, spiritually, emotionally, physically and mentally.

Springs Ensemble Theatre : The Children by Lucy Kirkwood
Hazel and Robin, retired nuclear scientists, live in a coastal cottage impacted by a radiation disaster at a local power station. Rose, a former colleague, appears at their doorstep after an absence of 38 years. She is not entirely welcome: long-buried currents of an old love affair between Rose and Robin threaten to overflow at any moment, and catching up with each other’s lives over the last four decades throws their differences into sharp relief. As the three spend time together, it becomes clear that Rose has brought a fatal proposition that requires them to consider what they owe to each other and to their children.
