Moon Night Gathering

Moon Night Gathering: a time and place for all your feelings and needs

Calling all women in the Philly area: 

Angry about something? Come howl at the moon. 

Scared about something? Come howl at the moon. 

Confused about something? Come howl at the moon. 

As a woman, have you ever wanted to scream, yell, and be LOUD? Maybe because you are pissed as heck, or super sad, or want to celebrate your victories, or in so much pain that words don’t work anymore?

I was that woman one summer night. I was so pissed that I wanted to scream, rage, and howl.

But… I live in a South Philly row home where I can literally hear my next door neighbor walk up and down their squeaky wooden stairs so how the !&@$# can I scream without them calling the cops on me or thinking I am that weirdo the next day? 

Since then I have found a space and way to be LOUD, howl, and move in togetherness with other women – do all the things that are alive in us yet couldn’t be let out in our everyday lives.  

I also found out that when we howl and let these things out as a collective, that is when the magic happens:

  • Things we wish we can say but never say 
  • Deeply buried things come to the surface
  • The truth of this realization: you are not the crazy one – many other women also need this space to be free and loud
  • The openness to what is here whether it is anger, sadness, shame, confusion, regret, and love – yes even love needs to be loud sometimes before it can be heard by ourselves 

I want to share this magic with all women in the Philadelphia area.

All that energy that is used to hold your tongue, heart, and mind is now free to do what you really want to do.  

As the Mistress of the Moon Night (that’s a picture of me trick or treating at Halloween) I invite you to a place and time to do just that: express what is really inside of you without any advice giving, shame, blame, or guilt by you or others. I will guide the group through exercises, sharing, loudness, movement, and togetherness.

Join a group of moving, howling, and living women share what is important in each of us, what we want more of, and what we wish we said in person.  

As we do this, something literally and figuratively moves in you. Maybe it is: 

  • The pain of something you have been holding onto
  • Something you have thought a thousand million times and never said out loud before
  • Reveling in that others feel the same way too!

This is what others have to say about the Moon Night Gatherings:

Jo L.'s experience:

“As someone who has been processing a lot of griefs and navigating life changes mostly on my own, I immediately jumped at the chance to do so in community. To be able to do so in nature and in the light of the full moon was a bonus, and ended up making me feel connected and seen in more ways than I expected. Nancy is a great facilitator and validator – I really appreciate her initiative and leadership in terms of expanding this circle and this opportunity to more women. I hope to meet more of you on future moon night gatherings!”

Hear from Kori H.:

“It is rare to have the opportunity to raise my voice as a woman. Nancy creates the space and ceremony that allows me to let out my anger, stress, and pain! Doing this in the company of other women out in nature has been healing and cathartic beyond my expectations. “

Why work with me?

Hi I am Nancy Li, a coach who helps people and organizations navigate through conflict and transitions without giving up on themselves. 

As a coach, when I help people say things out loud, move their bodies, and do it in togetherness – something unexplainable changes. Things that once seem taboo now is acceptable, hurt is tended to, and forward momentum is generated. 

All that energy to hold your tongue, heart, and mind is now free to do what you really want to do.  

As the Mistress of the Moon Night, I will hold this container so it is a safe space where you and everyone else can be heard and seen without judgment, advice giving, or shame.
