Event Theme: Igniting Inner Courage: Surrendering to the Flow
Practice: The Art of Letting Go
Guest Contributor: Verónica Marquez
Step into an evening of connection, reflection, and renewal as we gather for Manna Moon’s Full Moon Dinner Ceremony. This intimate gathering is designed to guide you through the process of releasing what has come full circle, as you surrender to the natural flow of life.
In this time of heightened tensions and uncertainty locally and around the world, many of us find ourselves grappling with anxiety and frustration over the things we cannot control. Our Full Moon Ceremony is an invitation to pause, reflect, and embrace the art of letting go to ease our nervous system to allow ourselves to control what we can, our reaction to what life places in front of us.
Our honored Guest Contributor and Co-Host for the evening, Verónica Marquez, brings a wealth of experience and wisdom to our gathering. As a certified Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner, Executive Coach, and Founder of Between Us—a global initiative fostering community discussions around difficult topics such as forgiveness, money, anger, and politics—Verónica understands the power of vulnerability and authentic dialogue. Originally from Venezuela, with a rich heritage blending European and Indigenous ancestry, she now resides in Miami with her English husband and their two children.
The evening will unfold at Verónica’s beautiful home in Miami’s Upper East Side, where she will co-lead the main discussion and guide us through a short reflective practice. As always, Manna Moon’s Melony van der Merwe will facilitate the evening and curate a nourishing 3-course meal, specially prepared to enhance the energy of the full moon.
