Sturgeon Full Moon Fire Pit

Named by Native American tribes as the Full Sturgeon Moon, August marks the time of year when sturgeon in the Great Lakes are most readily caught. It is also known as the Green Corn moon, marking the corn harvest that occurs in late summer. Please join me and others in celebrating the upcoming full Sturgeon moon on the evening of Sunday August 21st. Festivities will begin at 7:30 pm and continue until 10 pm. As always, we will have a fire pit, sumptuous beverages, fizzy water, and smoked fish especially for the occasion.

Full moon celebrations begin with appetizers and socializing. As it gets dark, we write down our intentions for things to let go of while enjoying dessert (chocolate mousse or brownies, anyone?). We can then throw these written intentions into the fire, either silently or while addressing them aloud to the group. We also honor the deceased by talking about any people who have passed since the last full moon. The event will be a potluck, so bring an appetizer or dessert. Beverages provided will include Glenlivet, Vikre Boreal Cedar Gin (distilled from fresh cedar and Lake Superior water), and my special house tonic water which consists of tarragon, rose petals, cilantro, basil, and rosemary muddled with unflavored bubbly water. Just like drinking summer in a glass! Please email, call or text if you'd like to attend. For those who cannot but still want to acknowledge the full moon, remember that the whole two week period that follows a full moon is a ripe time for letting go of things in your life that you are ready to shed.
