Return to Great Waters: A Lunar Eclipse Journey
The Celestial Alignment
This retreat coincides with the upcoming rare event of a Deep Partial Lunar Eclipse on the night of August 27–28, 2026. During this celestial phenomenon, North America will witness the moon reaching its peak eclipse at around 9:12 PM PDT.
The Significance of the Sturgeon Moon
Named after the enduring fish of the Great Lakes, the Sturgeon Moon represents longevity, ancestral wisdom, and the resilience needed to navigate through life’s deep and murky emotional waters.
Embracing the Theme of Return to Great Waters
This theme urges participants to reconnect with their roots and delve into the profound depths of consciousness symbolized by the “Great Waters.” It encourages introspection and personal growth through resilience and grace.
Unlocking the Eclipse Portal
As the Earth’s shadow envelops 93% of the moon, a striking “Blood Moon” effect emerges, creating a powerful portal for shedding old patterns and embracing transformative personal evolution.
The Timeliness of This Experience
In 2026, the Sturgeon Moon in Aquarius, amplified by the eclipse, presents a unique opportunity for self-discovery, epiphanies, and shifts in mindset. It invites individuals to shed their past selves and embrace their evolving identities.
