The Lunar Temple Podcast - Minisode - Finding the Yin in the Yang - The importance of the Dark Moon in Summer

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0100

In this episode I talk about the importance of working with the dark moon in the height of summer. Once the summer gets going it's really hard to find any time for self. Everything gets so busy as the days continue to lengthen and the yang energy can dominate. Working with the restful, reflective and yin qualities of the dark moon can help us to come back into alignment and find our balance once more.

I really hope you enjoy the episode and would love to hear your thoughts,

I also talk about the upcoming Summer Solstice and how this weekend's dark moon portal can help lay the ground for a meaningful and perhaps transformational solstice.

She’s deeply in love with the Sun and the River Severn, whose Goddess Sabrina is her closest Divine Feminine guide. She was first visited by the feminine water deities while leading a retreat in Mexico in 2017 and has been led deeper and deeper on her journey by direct guidance. She was dubbed Priestess of the Temple of Sabrina by her teacher, and medicine man, Antonio Gil in 2021. In her spare time, she can be found barefoot at the river, taking Chinese Tea Ceremony and channelling songs and words from Spirit. 2022 has led her work further into collaboration with trusted and talented colleagues and spiritual workers of many kinds!
