Hello Beautiful Souls,

May this newsletter find you well in Body, Mind, and Soul.

Have you been feeling the shifts that are upon us? We’re moving from the fullness of summer into the brisk yet gentle days of fall. This is the time of year when we harvest—both literally and figuratively—what we have tended and sown over the past six months (and beyond). How are you navigating this transition?

For many, this season holds both beauty and challenge. Life’s rhythms pull us into fuller schedules—school, work, family, and the ongoing balancing act of it all. Yet autumn also invites us to release what no longer serves and to discover the work that calls to us as we journey into the year’s descent.

All the while, beauty surrounds us and the rhythm of the natural world speaks: the vibrant colors of falling leaves, the wind carrying ancient whispers, the earth steady beneath our feet, the water reminding us to stay nourished, cleansed, and in flow with emotion, and the fire that keeps our inner spark alive—warming us, inspiring us, and guiding us to release what is ready to be transformed.

Whatever arises for you this season, trust that you have what you need to meet it. Seek your resources, lean into your tribe, and follow the call of your heart. Remember—magick lives not only in ritual, but also in the seemingly mundane moments of everyday life, when we choose to show up with presence and care.

If you’re seeking guidance, practices, or community to support this next chapter, explore what’s unfolding here at The Prana House. There’s so much ahead to help you ground, release, and grow—I hope you’ll join me.

Be Well, and Blessed Be,
Jacque Maldonado

Hello Beautiful Souls,

I write this August newsletter to you on the day the 8/8 Lion’s Gate Portal reaches its peak and the Aquarius Full Moon casts her light across the night sky, peaking at 3:54am EST early Saturday morning.

The Lion’s Gate, aligned each year when the Sun is in Leo, is a cosmic call to step into our most courageous heart. It’s a time when clarity and confidence sharpen, when we are invited to align with our soul’s truest desires. This portal is a doorway — an opportunity to release the old limitations, worn-out patterns, and boxes we’ve placed ourselves in that no longer fit, so we can boldly manifest the dreams waiting within us.

The Aquarius Full Moon, meanwhile, turns our gaze toward the collective we are a part of. Aquarius energy asks us to dream a better future — to break free from outdated ways of being, embrace innovation, and live in deeper authenticity. It’s a moon for emotional release, visionary thinking, and opening to new possibilities.

Of course, there is so much more woven into these astrological and seasonal events, but at their heart, they invite us to feel big, think big, expand, and let go — to make space for the wheel of change that’s turning once again. Already, Mother Nature is offering subtle signs that we only have a few more weeks to embrace summer and prepare for the next shift. So, in this moment we might ask ourselves:

✨ What will I carry forward into the next chapter?
✨ What self-limiting beliefs am I ready to release so I can move in alignment?

At The Prana House, I too am navigating this dance of change — deepening my one-on-one work with clients, cherishing those intimate spaces of transformation, while preparing for some chapters to close and new ones to begin. Life moves in a continuous rhythm of motion and stillness, expansion and rest. Finding balance isn’t about stilling the waters completely — it’s about learning to float with trust as we journey forward.

Here at The Prana House our doors remain open to those seeking community, education, exploration, and sacred space — a place to heal, realign, grow, and be inspired.

Will you step into this next chapter with me?
Take a peek below at what we have in store.

Be Well, and Blessed Be,

It’s time to celebrate the first harvest Sabbat in the turn of the wheel. 🌞

“The Corn King gives his life for the land, We toast his sacrifice with ale in our hand, And eat the bread, for the harvest made, As sheaves of corn to the earth are laid, Transformation surrounds us, The harvest turned to food and drink, Now is the time to learn and to think, Of what we can do to grow even stronger, As the summer recedes and nights grow longer. We share our rewards and bless the earth, That brings our fruitful abundance to birth, May our well-earned bounty reward our toil, As we harvest the seed and the grain from soil.” ~Witches of the Craft

Last night, during the Full Moon in Leo, we completed a fire 🔥 ritual that was nothing short of beautiful. It was a powerful test of courage and an invitation to slow down and take steady, mindful steps to form a clear strategy. As we moved through the ritual, we became deeply aware of the full spectrum of emotions we carry—fear, apprehension, anxiety, anticipation, and even moments of comfort. Each of us played an important role, contributing our unique energy, and in doing so, we were reminded that even in the face of challenging emotions, we continue moving forward, sometimes at a slower or faster pace than others, but we’re still moving.

The ritual embodied the very essence of Leo ♌️ energy—bold, fierce, and confident— 🦁 while also acknowledging that we do not have to do everything alone. Whether we move forward individually or with the support of others, Divine forces, we are never truly isolated. The ritual reminded us that emotions are not obstacles but integral parts of our journey. By honoring them, we are able to harness their power to fuel our growth and progression.

It was a beautiful reminder that, even when fear and uncertainty arise, we still have the strength to face challenges and create meaningful change in our lives.💚 🌟
