Wild Beauty,
It is almost time for our New Moon in Cancer who arrives this Friday, June 27th. In these last few days of the cycle, as we prepare for the New Moon, I find myself slowing down a bit and emotionally digesting all of the happenings of the last month.
As you will see in my New Moon Vlog, New Moon in watery Cancer invites us allow and nurture our emotional stirrings. Because being “too emotional” is a long standing cultural “weakness” in women, it is particularly important for us to lose the shame around this valuable piece of our wisdom. (See video for more on this).
I hope you will find a Wild Woman Circle in your community. Here is the list of public circles. If you don’t see a circle near, you may want to train to lead your own this fall!
Okay, dear heart. Relish in this New Moon Report & New Moon Time.
It’s nearly time to begin, again.
With love,
Chris
P.s~WILD WOMAN FEST is happening in about a month. Do you have your tickets??? ~hope so~

NEW MOON TRUTH & DARE
(Dive Inward and Take Action)
Solo-Mini-Happening:
- Find a quiet & private spot.
- Bring a journal & pen
- Have some of your favorite things. Perhaps a cup of tea, stones, flowers, guidance cards, a book of poetry. Whatever warms your heart.
- Light a candle when you are ready to start.
- At your own pace read the following questions, one by one.
- You can either keep your eyes closed and listen for the answers or you could journal or both (Recommended).
Truth:
1. Do I respect my emotions? (No judgment, just ask.)
2. Do I give space for my emotions to be expressed?
3. What could I do this cycle (about 28 days) to Nurture my emotional life? Write a list or at least 4. (Examples: Write poetry, go to therapy, read a great book, allow myself time to safely cry in the bathtub, spend time with soul sisters and brothers, etc.)
Dare:
- Do 1 of your 4 actions each week of this cycle.
- Write the Actions down in your calendar, so that each week you find time to Nurture Your Emotional Life.
You can close in anyway you like, you can stay there and guide yourself as long as you want! Just be sure to blow out the candle to close and seal in your practice.

HERBS FOR THE NEW MOON WITH COLE LOPEZ
Into the Moon Womb
The New Moon in Cancer is a time for nurturing our emotional lives. Wrap your arms around yourself and swim within. Hold hands with the great mother at the core of your being and give reverence for her life long care. Embrace and give back to the divine feminine that has cradled you and gotten you to this very exact moment in time.
The Offering
Womb Massage Oil: Mugwort + Night Blooming Jasmine
Fill an 8 ounce ball jar half way with dried mugwort. Then, fill the jar with olive oil. Take a chopstick and poke around to release any air bubbles. Next, top off with olive oil, seal the jar and let it sit away from the light for six weeks. At the six week mark, strain out the plant material and squeeze every last drop of the oil into a clean jar. Lastly, add 13 drops of night blooming jasmine to this brilliant emerald oil and bless it with your energy.
Relish in the sensations as they swim through you. Connect with the smell. Connect to the sound of the oil as it splashes over you. Connect with the feelings that begin to birth.
Connect.
Quality organic herbs are available at Flower Power Roots and Herbs in the east village of NYC. Go visit or have herbs delivered.
Ball jars (canning jars) are available at most hardware stores!

I started writing a book, and I wanted to put the chapters of the book on a different blog then my other less thrilling post. I don’t know how to, though,.
Basically, I want it to be on the main page where all of my posts go but then I also want to be able to put it on a separate page of my blog dedicated to only that subject. Hopefully this makes sense!.
I recently got a blogspot for my mixtapes that I uploaded but when I search my DJ name (even full url), it doesn’t appear in the google search. Does it take about a week for it to appear or do I have to pay to get it to come up?.
I simply stated that a few days in the past!!!
