✨DAY OUT OF TIME • JULY 25✨

According to the 13 Moon Mayan Calendar, July 25 is known as the “Day Out of Time”, a sacred pause between the end of one galactic year and the beginning of the next.
This calendar follows natural rhythms, honoring 13 moons and 28-day cycles, which align more closely with the flow of nature, the lunar cycles, and our inner timekeepers.

The day outside of the calendar is a timeless portal. It is not tied to any week, month, or moon. Instead, it’s a moment for reflection, forgiveness, creative expression, and spiritual renewal.

A cosmic “reset button”, allowing us to let go of the old before stepping into a new cycle with clarity and intention.

In a world of constant doing, this is a call to simply BE.
It’s a reminder that life is not only measured by time, but by presence. When we attune to the rhythms of nature, we reclaim our sovereignty from artificial time systems and return to harmony with the cosmos 🌿

Ways to Honor the Day Out of Time:

✨Meditate or practice stillness
✨Journal and reflect on the past 13 moons
✨Release what no longer serves you
✨Clean, declutter
✨Create art, dance, or sing - express your soul Spend time in nature, swim in the ocean, barefoot on the earth

Set intentions for the new galactic year (starting July 26)
Take a pause. Unplug. Breathe.

Remember: You are part of the universal rhythm.
Let today be a celebration of timelessness, creativity and love 💕

“When we align with rhythms of nature, we remember who we truly are”.

From this new moon (started last night) we have 13 new moon in front of us to become a better version of ourselves.

Happy new cosmic year 🌟

𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙈𝙤𝙤𝙣 🌑 𝘾𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙧 💦

In a world that is constantly moving fast, this New Moon asks us to slow down and create space to honor our sensitivity, process our emotions, and digest our experiences.

We are entering a lunar month centered around softening, nurturing ourselves and others, and tending to our hearts in new ways.

The Cancer New Moon invites us to develop a new relationship with our past and with our history, with the stories held in our bodies, with our cellular memory.
We carry the lived experiences of our ancestors in our bones, we carry both their strengths and weaknesses, their gifts and their pain.

This New Moon can bring awareness toward how our family history and ancestral patterns are impacting our lives and offer us an opportunity to relate with them in new ways.

Cancer has to do with our experience of home, our definition of home, our beliefs about home and the way we create a feeling of home, family and belonging within ourselves and all around us.

🌕 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗶𝗼 | 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟮𝘁𝗵
✨ 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝗮𝗸 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗻 - the most powerful Full Moon of the year

If you can, take a moment tonight to sit in silence under the moonlight. Breathe deeply. Listen closely. Something within is ready to shift.

This is not an ordinary Full Moon. It is called Wesak, the moon of Buddha which is also known by the illumination of Siddharta Gautama. A sacred portal of spiritual awakening and deep transformation.

The Full Moon in Scorpio invites us to dive into the depths of our inner world. Scorpio’s energy exposes what’s hidden, and supports deep emotional and spiritual healing. This is a moon to be still, to meditate, to write, to feel.

🦂 This lunation asks us:

〰️ What has come to an end and what is about to start in your path? Have a look back to November 2024 (new moon in scorpio) and contemplate the changes that occur in your life.

〰️ What needs more clarity and attention in your daily routines?

Take time to be in silence under her light. Her energy expands intuition, knowledge and reminds us that only by embracing the darkness we can find true light.

May this moon offer you the courage to go deep and the strength to rise renewed.

🌑 𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝑴𝒐𝒐𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝑻𝒂𝒖𝒓𝒖𝒔 ~ 𝑺𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒚, 𝑨𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒍 27𝒕𝒉

Every New Moon marks a new beginning. It’s a time to pause, reflect, and plant intentions for the cycle ahead.

This New Moon in Ta**us invites us to reconnect with what feels steady, nourishing, and true. Ta**us energy reminds us that real growth takes time, and that beauty lives in simplicity and patience.

Under this lunar energy, you may feel a stronger need for:
✨ Stability: in your routines, relationships, and finances.
✨ Pleasure: finding pleasure in small, tangible moments.
✨ Inner confidence: knowing that you are enough, exactly as you are.

Tomorrow, set intentions that are steady and rooted in your true values. Focus on what you wish to nurture over time, not through urgency, but through care and love. 🌱

Let this New Moon be a reminder: sometimes, the most powerful growth happens slowly, quietly, deep within.

It will be a perfect day to join at .room.lisbon and embody this energy through movement. There’s a class tomorrow - Sunday, April 27th - at 9:45 am - join us! And happy new moon!

✨𝐀𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐥 - 𝐄𝐮 𝐒𝐨𝐮 / 𝐂𝐚𝐫á𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 - 𝐝𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐫𝐨 “𝐑𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐦 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐥í𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐨” 𝐝𝐚 @𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐬

Neste mês de Abril o convite é para vivermos com verdade, integridade e presença. Deixamos aqui um pequeno excerto - um ritual para cada fase lunar - para que possa experimentar no seu próprio ritmo.

🌑 𝐋𝐮𝐚 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐚 - Um novo ciclo começa, e com ele, a oportunidade de escutar a nossa verdade mais íntima.
Pergunta para este momento: Quem sou eu quando ninguém está a olhar?

🌓 𝐋𝐮𝐚 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞 - É tempo de nutrir o que queremos ver crescer. O convite? Respirar com consciência.
Prática simples: Inspira em 4, expira em 6. Deixa o corpo abrandar. Deixa a mente acalmar.

🌕 𝐋𝐮𝐚 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐚 - A energia está no auge, perfeita para trazer luz às intenções e clareza ao caminho.
Pergunta para refletir: O que significa viver com verdade e assumir por completo o meu caminho?

🌘 𝐋𝐮𝐚 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞 - Hora de libertar o que já não serve. O corpo também precisa de espaço para deixar ir.
Prática sugerida: Postura do movimento do vento, uma prática terapêutica suave (com vídeo disponível através do QR code no livro).

📖 Ao longo de cada mês, o livro “Rituais para viver em equilíbrio” da Sara Montes propõe práticas e reflexões simples, inspiradas nos ritmos da natureza e nos ciclos da lua. Disponível nas principais livrarias (em português).

🌍 Sara’s book is currently available only in Portuguese, but stay tuned, English updates are coming soon.

🌕 Full Moon in Libra - Saturday, April 12

As the Full Moon rises, we’re invited into a deep recalibration. Libra whispers balance between self and relationships. The dance of giving and receiving, and the beauty that blooms in presence.

Full Moons amplify. They illuminate the hidden, soften the heart, and call us to choose clarity. This one is gently asking us:

~ Where am I out of balance - within or in connection with others?

~ What old patterns can I finally release, to make space for real harmony?

~ How can I show up in love - for myself and others - with more clarity, courage, and grace?

With Venus as ruler, this is a moment for softness: art, slow movement, graceful rituals, and honest connection.

Create a soft, intentional space. Light a candle. Breathe deeply. 🤍 Journal on the questions above. Move your body slowly. Let this be a moment of inner alignment.

This is a great momento to join at .room.lisbon to deepen these teachings and practices. There’s a class tomorrow - Sunday, April 13th - at 9:45 am - see you there! 🙏🏻

FULL MOON IN VIRGO

My suggestion for this powerful days of full moon is to review, organize, and prioritize matters and goals regarding health and wellbeing. Might be a good idea to clear out the old in your house, make a deep cleaning and re-organize your routines to keep a sustainable energy and balance within.

A full moon is always a culmination of a 5.5 / 6 month period cycle on a constellation, in this case Virgo.
Looking back 5.5 months ago, what did you change about your routines regarding wellbeing, nutrition and health?

If you’re on the right path, great! If not, might be a good time to adjust whatever needs to be adjusted.

You can measure your progress on this by looking to your overall energy levels throughout the day.

Also, keep in mind that this full moon comes with an eclipse, meaning that every emotion is amplified — contemplation is strongly advised to receive the answers we need.

Sending you all a big hug and positive wishes for the week 🙏🏼

🌑 Lua Nova em Peixes

Esta lua nova oferece-nos um momento de introspeção. A mente tende a acalmar para nos oferecer a possibilidade de focar e ver para além do óbvio.

A espiritualidade é o tema central.
Na Índia festeja-se o Mahashivarati e em várias culturas pagãs este é um momento de renascimento espiritual.

• O que é para mim a espiritualidade?
• Que práticas ou mindset devo ter para ir ao encontro do que acredito ser a espiritualidade?
• Como me vou sentir?

Acredito que a espiritualidade não é algo concreto, do plano físico, mas o espirito em ação na melhor versão de nós mesmos.

E qual é essa versão?

Esta lua nova pede-nos que entremos em silêncio e contemplação para podermos aceder aos sentidos em vez do intelecto e assim termos mais clareza de quem somos verdadeiramente no nosso interior.

Sermos autênticos, sem medos ou culpa, para assim ter mais certeza do rumo a tomar em diversas áreas da nossa vida.

“Só quando chegamos a uma compreensão de quem realmente somos - no fundo de nós mesmos - é que conseguimos assumir o controlo da nossa vida”.

✨ MAHASHIVARATRI ✨

Tonight marks the dark night before the new moon in Pisces.

It is said that the upcoming month is the last lunar month of the year, which should be dedicated to spirituality and its deepest meaning in our life.

For us yogis, this is a very special night, symbolizing a rebirth in our spiritual path. It is a night dedicated to lord shiva.

17 years ago on this evening I was in India traveling by my own studying yoga and contemplating how my life would change as soon I was in Europe (i had just finished my first yoga teacher training).

I was scared, terrified…nevertheless i was devoting myself to what I believed to be a good thing for myself and those around me. My life was pretty different until then….

If by any chance you’re feeling a bit lost, know that tonight is a very auspicious day to pray, to meditate and to deeply trust in divine guidance.

I hope you take advantage of this energy 🙏🏼

LUA CHEIA EM LEÃO 🦁 🌕

Esta lua cheia convida a uma profunda reflexão interior sobre a forma como nos percecionamos versus nos expressamos no exterior — iluminando a tensão entre quem somos na nossa essência e a forma como nos apresentamos ao mundo;
pedindo-nos para enfrentar quaisquer medos, dúvidas ou expectativas externas que nos impediram de mostrar plenamente a nossa verdade.

A energia de Leão convida a abraçar a nossa autenticidade com coragem, lembrando-nos que a nossa voz, a nossa história e a nossa presença são importantes, e de confiar que, ao fazê-lo, inspiramos outros a fazerem o mesmo.

Este é um momento para libertar as limitações auto-impostas, de recuperar as partes de nós mesmos que obscurecemos e avançar com ousadia, liderança e sabedoria ✨

Sigam os exercícios do meu livro* ! escrevam as reflexões desta lua cheia; e experimentem um exercício simples para desenvolver a intuição 🌝

Espero que gostem!
