The Harvest Moon is the full moon occurring nearest to the autumnal equinox, marking the beginning of Autumn. Over several consecutive nights, a significant full moon ascends shortly after sunset. In times preceding electricity, farmers utilized this luminous moonlight to aid their harvesting efforts. The additional illumination prolonged their working hours into the evening, thus earning it the title of Harvest Moon.

Join our gathering at F Zeen Kefalonia this September as we honour Selene, the celestial Titan overseeing the moon. We’ve thoughtfully prepared a series of practices encompassing yoga, sound therapy, and meditation. These rituals are tailored to bring solace to inner feelings, declutter our thoughts, and invigorate our very spirit. Additionally, as night falls, indulge in a cinematic treat under the open sky. Delight in a specially selected moon-themed movie while basking in the moonlit ambiance. Be a part of this wonderful celebration in the company of fellow moon enthusiasts and create lasting moments that you’ll cherish forever.
