Are you aware of the influences the moon has on your physiology, energetic body and mind? A Full Moon occurs when the sun and moon are opposite from each other, gravitationally influencing the earth. With its pull, it changes the tides of the ocean, signifying fulfillment and completion. It also calls for reflection and gratitude for the abundance in your life. “Full” is the term describing the moon as it reflects light from the sun. Hosted by The Yoga Loft at the Lee Mansion Gardens.
