Session 2: The Waxing Moon
Ritual Silk Dyeing
April 12th: 1pm-4pm (Wallkill, NY)
The second gathering of Body as Moon centers on the phase of emergence, the moment when energy begins to move outward again after the stillness of descent.
After the inward descent of menstruation, life force begins to turn outward again. This phase marks the gradual return of vitality, curiosity, and responsiveness to the world. It is a time of renewal and reorientation, when clarity begins to re-emerge and new possibilities quietly take shape. The psyche shifts from reflection toward engagement, and the body prepares itself for growth, exploration, and future expression.
Our practice for this session is natural dyeing on silk. Plant dyeing mirrors the phase of emergence through a gradual return to outward engagement. The silk slowly takes on color through contact with plant material, heat, and movement. The dye does not appear all at once; it develops over time, reflecting the steady return of energy, clarity, and responsiveness after an inward season. The finished scarf becomes a tangible marker of renewal—an object shaped through patience and attention, carrying the imprint of a body reorienting itself toward growth and future expression.
