New moon circles take place during the dark moon, when the moon is not visible from Earth. This phase symbolizes new beginnings and is often used as a time to set intentions for the coming cycle.

The new moon is often associated with introspection, planning, and the potential for growth. During this time, it's believed that we can harness the moon's energy to sow the seeds of our intentions, make plans, and initiate personal transformation.

Moon circles celebrate moon phase's metaphors for life, death, and rebirth. Full moon ceremonies focus on the moon's radiant energy. New moon circles tap into the moon's potential for growth and renewal. Both access the moon's natural rhythms.
