The new moon in Cancer, which begins tomorrow, invites a powerful moment for setting intentions and releasing emotions. This lunar phase encourages deep listening to your inner world and nurturing your emotional well-being.
To support this process, I am hosting two special Sacred Bloom Sound Baths—one in Brooklyn and another at SnakeHawk Studio, my new mountaintop studio retreat in the Catskills. These gatherings offer a unique opportunity to connect with yourself and forge a clearer, more compassionate path forward.
THIS WEDNESDAY, JULY 15th at 7:30 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and NEXT MONDAY, JULY 20th at 6 PM at my Elka Park, NY studio!! RSVP to www.sacredbloomtribe.com/events

Understanding the New Moon in Cancer
The new moon marks the start of a lunar cycle, a time to plant seeds for what you want to grow in your life, and figure the best path forward (albeit knowing that you will have to adapt to any bumps in the road). When the new moon falls in Cancer, a water sign ruled by the Moon itself, the energy becomes deeply emotional and intuitive. Cancer encourages us to tune into our feelings, home life and personal security.
This phase is ideal to:
Reflect on emotional needs
Set intentions related to self-care and family
Release old emotional patterns that no longer serve you
Cancer’s influence invites a gentle, nurturing approach. It asks you to listen closely to your heart and honor your vulnerability.
Why Set Intentions During the New Moon?
Intentions are like guiding stars for your actions and mindset. Setting them during the new moon aligns your goals with natural cycles of growth. This alignment can make your intentions feel more powerful and achievable.
By consciously choosing what you want to invite into your life, you create space for transformation.
The Role of Sound Healing in Emotional Release
Sound healing uses vibrations from instruments including my various drums, bells, bowls, gongs, chimes and vocals to promote relaxation and emotional release. These sounds can help quiet the mind, allowing buried feelings to surface gently. These vibrations resonate with your body’s energy centers, encouraging balance and healing.
Sound healing supports the new moon’s energy by enhancing deep listening to your inner self, facilitating emotional release without judgment, and creating a safe space for reflection and renewal.
What to Expect at the Sacred Bloom Sound Bath
The Sacred Bloom Sound Bath is designed to guide your own internal process through a brief process of intention-setting followed by a sound healing session, the resonance of which will offer healing to you in whatever unique way you take it in.
Whether in the city setting or on the mountaintop, the best preparation is to approach the session with an open mind and heart!!!
Benefits of Combining New Moon Intentions with Sound Healing
When you combine intention-setting with sound healing, you create a powerful synergy. The sound vibrations help you access deeper layers of your subconscious, making your intentions more resonant.
Increase emotional clarity and calm
Connect to yourself and others
Enhance your ability to release stress and old patterns
Renew motivation to follow your intentions
Taking time to honor the new moon in Cancer with intention-setting and sound healing can open new pathways for emotional growth and well-being. Whether you attend the Sacred Bloom Sound Bath or create your own ritual, this period invites you to listen deeply, release what no longer serves, and nurture your inner world.
Embrace this moment to plant seeds of care and clarity that will grow throughout the lunar cycle. Your emotional health deserves this gentle attention and support.
