Conscious Cafe Skipton

6:45 for 7 pm start. Full Moon Fire Ceremony 🔥🌕
Please feel welcome to stay a bit longer after ceremony for my birthday celebrations! 🙏💜
Our local Shaman friend Shannon O'Flaherty, who has led some lovely rituals and ceremonies for our Conscious Cafe Skipton community on the year's quarter days, regularly offers a Full Moon Ceremony in her garden in Ilkley. She is inviting you to join her. She usually holds these on the actual Full Moon day or a few day's either side.

The Pink Full Moon in April is a beautiful moment of renewal, growth, and blossoming. Despite the name, the moon itself doesn’t actually turn pink. The name comes from the pink wildflowers that bloom around this time, signalling the earth’s awakening.
Spiritually, the Pink Moon is a powerful time for healing and transformation. A gentle reminder to shed the old and welcome the new. Reflect on what we've outgrown, just like trees letting go of brittle branches to make room for fresh blossoms.
This moon glows with the energy of hope, clarity, and emotional balance. A lovely time to reconnect with your heart’s desires, and release emotional clutter and plant seeds—both literal and metaphorical—for what you want to grow in your life.
Symbolically, it’s about fresh starts, fertility, and love—not just romantic love, but love for life, for self, for the journey ahead. It's soft, nurturing energy encourages us to be kinder to ourselves, to embrace change with grace, and to bloom in our own unique way.

Shannon says: "Acknowledging the presence of the Full Moon is about ending one cycle and beginning a new one. To let go, invite in, find balance and connect with your higher knowing and connection to Source. Fire 🔥 transmutes heavy energy to light! It’s amazing how much taking things to the fire can alter your life! 🙏💜 "

Bring a small stick about the size of a pencil.
WEATHER NOTE: Although the fire ceremony dates are all on Meetup fixed in advance, as we get close to the evening, if big rain is forecast for that particular night, Shannon may advocate a date change to a dry night as all the events are outside in her garden!

Venue is Chez Shannon's in Ilkley. House number given to those who book. Please arrive at 6.45pm for a prompt 7pm start. Depending on the numbers, the ceremony will be over within 2 hours leaving time for a hot drink and review.
A donation of £5 is requested for this offering to cover hospitality and Meetup costs.

The Flower Full Moon in May is all about abundance, beauty, and full bloom—in nature and in our lives. It marks the time when flowers are flourishing everywhere, and the Earth feels alive with colour, energy, and new possibilities.
Spiritually, this moon represents a peak moment of growth. A time to honor how far you’ve come, to celebrate what’s blossoming within you, and to open your heart to the joy of simply being alive. The Flower Moon invites us to slow down and savour—to take a breath, appreciate beauty, and connect with the natural world.
Symbolically, this moon is connected to fertility, creativity, love, and manifestation. It’s a powerful time to nurture the intentions you've set earlier in the year. Like a garden in full bloom, your ideas, dreams, and personal growth are starting to show their colours.
Energetically, it carries a sense of joyful expansion—you may feel more inspired, passionate, or ready to share your gifts with the world. It encourages you to embrace your unique expression, to stand tall like a sunflower and let yourself be seen.
The Flower Moon reminds us:
You are blooming in your own time, in your own way—and that is more than enough.

The Strawberry Full Moon is as sweet and magical as it sounds. It gets its name from the time of year when strawberries are ripening and ready to be picked—a symbol of nature’s generosity and the sweetness of life.
Spiritually, this moon is all about gratitude, fulfillment, and enjoying the fruits of your labor. It’s a time to pause, look at what you’ve nurtured so far this year, and truly savour the moment. Think of it as a cosmic reminder to receive joy, love, and abundance with open arms.
Symbolically, the Strawberry Moon is linked to love, connection, sensuality, and ripening desires. It invites you to lean into life’s pleasures, to deepen relationships, and to be fully present in your body and your heart. There's a gentle encouragement here to nourish your soul, just as you'd nourish your body with sun-kissed fruit.
Energetically, this moon carries a vibe of celebration and emotional maturity. It’s a beautiful time to reflect on what you’ve grown—both within and around you—and to share your gifts with others. The warmth of early summer makes it a wonderful moon for gatherings, laughter, creativity, and connection.
The Strawberry Moon whispers:
Let life be sweet. You've done the work—now let yourself enjoy the beauty of your own becoming.
