FULL MOON RELEASING RITUAL — We’re Back, Beloved Collective

It’s the final Full Moon of the year — and the last chance to let go before we step into an entirely new cycle.

2025 has carried the deep, transformative energy of the Year of the Snake, inviting us to shed, release, and outgrow everything that no longer fits. And as we cross the threshold into 2026 — a Universal Year 1 — we enter a season of new beginnings, rebirth, and fresh alignment.

This is the moon where you clear the old so you can walk freely into your next chapter.

Led by @jah, for this ritual, we’re taking it back to the art of candle magic — returning to divination, flame work, and intentional release to help you step out of the smoke and into your new self.

Join us on Thursday, December 4th
6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
The Elemental Shop — 312 Elm. LBC

Bring your intentions. Bring your shadows. Bring the version of you that’s ready to be released.

We’ll handle the rest.

We believe that creativity is more powerful when it’s shared.

In that spirit, we are so happy to be collaborating with our friends at BYO Long Beach to host a community craft supply swap.

This is an invitation to come together, share our resources & give our unused supplies a new story. Keep materials in use and out of the landfill, all while connecting with fellow creatives in our neighborhood.

When: This Saturday, Nov. 8th from 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Where: 425 E 1st Street

Feel free to pop in anytime during the event. Whether you want to drop off supplies, browse for new treasures, stay for a while, or simply say hello - we would be so happy to see you!

Come by and bring something to mend!
