Full Moon Ritual
In collaboration with Pien Vrijhof

During the Full Moon Ritual, we move with each other and nature, and get energized by it. There is only one rule no words but laughter, tears, and other sounds are welcome. There is only one person among us who uses words to guide meditation during the journey.

UPCOMING FULL MOON RITUAL
Sunday
24 March

Since July 2022 we've been moving with Sun and Moon. The Full Moon Ritual is a project in collaboration with Pien Vrijhof, our former performance teacher from Rietveld Academy. She has been exploring the relation of the sun, moon and the light phenomenon for more than 20 years. The ritual takes place monthly in the Kennemerland dunes during the full moon. It is the moment when the moon and the sun are facing each other, the earth and us in between them. In the full moon the gravitational pull is the strongest and it influences everything that contains water: seas, oceans, plants, animals, humans.

“A unique experience ! A return to the primitive essence of the one, of unity! Personally, it was an opening of inner doors linked to my ancestral memories. A feeling of peace , connection to mother earth and the moon in all its beauty and power ! A celebration of simplicity , of the essential. Without forgetting the marvellous synchronicities of the energies moving between nature and between us, with fluid and playful movements , unexpected jokes from the moon and an amazing big falling star at the end Going back rediscovering that intuitive play, that authenticity of being and devotion to the imperceptible. Simply lovely . Absolutely recommended! Thank you”

We choreograph these gatherings by applying silence, tactile interactions with the landscape, diverse dynamics in movement, creating rhythmic sounds using the body, voicing and breathing. In order for others to join the process easily, with minimum guidance, three of us are needed to hold the space. The only person using words in the first part of the experience is Pien Vrijhof, she is guiding the meditations in order to tune into the process.

Monthly full moon gatherings let us connect with the energy and the rhythm of nature we are a part of. We believe that this experience can contribute to a more sensitive relation to ecological thinking and cultivate a sense of togetherness in the current crisis. Everyone is welcome to join.
