LUNAR ALCHEMY: New Moon Sonic Temple Gathering
Winter Solstice Edition • New Moon in Sagittarius
A Sacred Seasonal Gathering for Reflection, Renewal & Inner Illumination
We gather at ChoZen during a rare and potent alignment: the Sagittarius New Moon (December 19) arriving just before the Winter Solstice (December 21). Together they mark the darkest days of the year, when both lunar and solar light reach their annual minimum. In this liminal window, nature slows, the body turns inward, and the spirit becomes most receptive to intention, reset, and inner vision.
The Sagittarius New Moon opens the final lunar cycle of the year with themes of clarity, expansion, and long-range perspective. The Solstice, ushering the sun into Capricorn, invites grounding, structure, and the first spark of returning light. This is a powerful threshold for deep listening, renewal, and conscious reorientation.
Held at ChoZen, a protected nature sanctuary with restored wetlands and active wildlife corridors, this gathering unfolds within a landscape that naturally regulates the nervous system. Night insects, owls, and river air shape a serene atmosphere ideal for introspection and healing.
The Sonic Temple Journey
Guided by Scarlett de la Torre with Alena Assante
Scarlett brings a rare and powerful transmission within the Sharada Sound Temple—a fully live, improvised soundscape woven from looped electronics, harp, crystalline bowls, earth instruments, and layered vocal harmonics. Her sound journeys support emotional release, somatic integration, and deep inner listening, offering a language beyond words that speaks directly to the body and soul.
This special Solstice edition invites you into a multidimensional experience designed to harmonize with the celestial energies of the darkest night and the final New Moon of the year.
