She Rises

A New Moon Intention Setting Ceremony
for Women in Perimenopause & Beyond

— ✦ —

JULY — THE NEW MOON IN CANCER

July's new moon falls in Cancer — the Moon's own home sign, making this one of the most emotionally potent new moons of the entire year. Cancer governs the heart, the home, the emotional body, and the deep interior life.

It is a new moon of belonging, of nurturing, of tending what matters most.

The new moon rises in the darkest sky of the month — the void point, the moment of pure potential before anything takes form. It is the most powerful time in the lunar cycle to plant a new intention.

And the Cancer new moon asks the most tender and essential question of all: what do I want to feel at home in? What am I ready to tend, nurture, and grow?

DETAILS

NOTE: No replay will be sent. She Rises is a live, sacred gathering — what happens in the circle stays in the circle, and the energy of setting your intention in real time with other women is part of the medicine.

THIS IS NOT JOURNALING ON YOUR COUCH

You could set an intention alone. You could write it in your journal, light a candle, and hope for the best. And there is beauty in that.

But this is something entirely different.

In She Rises, you set your intention in sacred ceremony — in the company of other women, under the energy of the new moon, held in a container that has been opened with care and intention.

And then you breathe it in. The conscious connected breathwork that follows your intention setting is not incidental. It is the amplifier. The breath carries your intention out of your mind and into your body — into your cells, your nervous system, your heart. It sends it out into the world with the full force of your life energy behind it.

There is power in the circle. There is power in the ceremony. There is power in the breath. And when all three come together under the new moon — something shifts. Women leave this circle not just knowing what they intend. They feel it. In their bodies. In their bones. That is the difference.

AN INVITATION

Once a month, we gather.

She Rises is a sacred monthly New Moon Intention Setting Ceremony for women in perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause — and for any woman who feels called to gather in the company of like-hearted women, connect to the rhythm of the earth, and come home to herself.

This is a circle — a held, sacred space where women breathe together, intend together, and rise together.

Every month the new moon calls us back. Every month something in you is ready to be planted.

— ✦ —

YOU BELONG HERE

No prior experience with breathwork or any healing modality is needed. She Rises is fully accessible — you only need to arrive and be willing to breathe, set your intention, and receive.

Melissa guides every woman through the experience from beginning to end.

Whether this is your first circle or you have been with us since the beginning, you are welcome exactly as you are.

WHO THIS CIRCLE IS FOR

She Rises was created for the woman in perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause who is ready to stop surviving this transition and start moving through it as the portal it truly is.

It is also for any woman who feels the pull of the new moon, the call of circle, and the deep knowing that she does not have to navigate this season alone.

If you have been feeling disconnected from your body, overwhelmed by the changes of this season, or simply hungry for sacred time with women who understand — this circle is for you.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CIRCLE

Each She Rises New Moon circle follows a 90-minute sacred arc — from arrival to opening, from intention to breath, from circle to close. Every gathering includes:

• A grounding arrival and sacred opening of the circle
• A heart-opening meditation
• A guided new moon intention setting ceremony — you will clarify and claim your intention for the month ahead in sacred ritual
• Conscious connected breathwork — your intention is breathed into your body and sent out into the world with the full force of your life energy
• Guided somatic practices to anchor and integrate what surfaces in the breath
• A sharing circle — your intention and experience witnessed by other women
• Closing of the circle with grounding, integration guidance, and a blessing

The sequence is intentional: you set your intention first, in ceremony, with full clarity. Then the breathwork amplifies it — carrying it from your mind into your body, from your body out into the world. This is co-creation with the new moon herself.

OUR CONNECTION TO THE EARTH

She Rises gathers online, but the intention remains the same — to connect to the rhythm of the earth and the cycles of the moon, even from the sacred space of your own home.

The new moon is the darkest night of the month. The sky is quiet. The energy is turned inward.

It is the most fertile moment in the lunar cycle — and when women everywhere pause together under the same dark sky to plant their intentions in unison, something powerful moves through the circle. We are not separate from nature. We are nature. And she remembers that here.

— ✦ —

SHE RISES — A MONTHLY SACRED PRACTICE

She Rises gathers twice a month — a free Full Moon Release Ceremony on the Sunday nearest the full moon, and this New Moon Intention Setting Ceremony near the new moon.

Together they form a complete lunar practice: release at the full moon, plant at the new moon. Month after month, the practice deepens. The breath goes further. The intentions grow clearer. The community of women becomes a true circle of support. You are invited to return every moon.
