Mission

Phases of the Moon was created to build commUNITY. To nourish people. To create safe spaces for cocreation and collaboration. To honor artistic expression, music, movement, ceremony, and holistic healing . And to provide a peaceful, welcoming haven in an ever-changing world. Welcome. We're glad you're here.

Phases of the Moon is an intimate gathering where people come together to inspire, to create and to celebrate with an extensive lineup of workshops along with music, dance, and art.
This is a space where you'll find respect, friendship, community, healing and fun. Our goal is to create a refuge, a place where people feel safe, and at home, a place where you can truly be yourself. We support sober living along with medicinal use of plants while offering an alcohol free weekend. 
The grounds are magical. Nestled in the woods you'll find blueberry lined trails that surround fire pits, art installations, a labyrinth, hammock stand, and a central stage. 
Come for the drum circles and song circles, late night talks around the camp fire, open mic, fire spinning, silent disco, sound healing, yoga, breathwork, and more.
Meal plans announced soon!
Featured musicians are The Big Trip and Kevin Hill.
Blind faith tickets are only $110 for the full weekend including camping and parking.

Phases of the Moon
The Unity Gathering

Energy Healing


Reiki, Spiritual Counseling, Vibration / Frequency Shifting, Emotion Codes, Awakening Dynamics, Qigong, Yoga, Meditation, Divination & Shamanic Healing 


Tai Chi & QiGong

Qigong is a movement meditation. Translated, it means energy cultivation, a practice that has been around for thousands of years. Aligning breath with mindful, slow movement allows the participant to enter into a deep state of meditation with their eyes open, allowing them to bridge the gap between the meditative and waking states. This practice creates coordination, balance and flexibility in the body, mind, and spirit. Tai chi is a series of movements that work on the entire body in a flowing sequence.


Healing Sessions

Elyse designs custom tailored, private healing sessions. While sessions can include chakra balancing, tuning forks, subconscious reprogramming, emotion codes, TIPI, reiki, divination, vibration/frequency shifting, qigong, meditation, and yoga, most people come for spiritual counseling...to identify repeating patterns, stuck energy, and physical pain from trapped emotions and to receive compassionate guidance, support and tools to flow through life. .


Community Garden

Nourishment is the foundation for health, and Phases of the Moon honors the desire for families to have affordable, clean food by offering space for an organic community garden designed to promote physical, emotional, social, and spiritual wellness. Through education and shared labor, we’ll cultivate the skills necessary to create sustainable food for ourselves and our community, creating a stronger, healthier and more resilient community.
