The Strawberry Moon

Image
The Strawberry Moon is the name traditionally given to the full moon that occurs in the month of June. The name originates from Native American tribes, particularly the Algonquin people, as well as European and Colonial traditions. It marked the time of year when wild strawberries ripened and were ready to be gathered—a brief, sweet season that symbolized both the abundance of nature and the fleeting beauty of certain moments. Spiritually, the Strawberry Moon is deeply connected to themes of ripening, fulfillment, and emotional maturity. It represents a time when the fruits of our labor begin to manifest. Energetically, it is a moon of culmination—what began in early spring, during the period of planting and awakening, is now coming into form. It is a time to pause, reflect, and celebrate what has come to fruition. The energy of the Strawberry Moon is often warm, loving, and generous. It encourages gratitude, nurturing, and connection—with others, with nature, and with ourselves. Spiri...

The Spiritual Meaning of the New Moon

Image

What is Ikigai?

Image
Ikigai is a Japanese concept that translates loosely to “reason for being” or “a reason to wake up in the morning.” It is composed of two words: iki , meaning “life,” and gai , meaning “worth” or “value.” At its core, Ikigai represents the intersection of what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. It is the point where passion, mission, vocation, and profession align. However, Ikigai is much more than a diagram or life-coaching concept. Traditionally, it is a deeply personal and culturally nuanced philosophy rooted in Okinawan culture—especially in the region of Japan known for some of the world’s longest-living people. For them, Ikigai is not always grand or career-focused. It can be found in simple, everyday joys: tending a garden, caring for a loved one, mastering a craft, or participating in a community. It is about a life lived in alignment with meaning, connection, and purpose, however quiet or humble that may be. Spiritually , Ikiga...
