Full Sturgeon Moon Nature-Inspired Meditation: Ancestral Wisdom from the South Carolina Wetlands
Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android | RSS | YouTube
This August, under the glow of the Full Sturgeon Moon, you’re invited to slow down and listen deeply—just like the ancient sturgeon who’ve glided through waters since the Jurassic era.
In this moonlit meditation, we connect to the energy of these “living fossils” and tap into the quiet power of ancestral wisdom. Set against the soundscape of a South Carolina wetland, you will hear the call of a Barred owl, the hush of insects, and the splash of feeding fish. This practice is a gentle invitation to rest in the flow of time.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply seeking more mental clarity, this practice offers a quiet but powerful path to mental health resilience.
In this episode, you’ll experience:
A calming, immersive full moon meditation that uses a wetlands nature soundscape, recorded by accoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton, to soothe anxiety
A guided visualization rooted in ancient wisdom to deepen your connection and resilience
Subtle breathing techniques to release tension and anchor you in the present moment
Press play now for a moment of stillness and to see what ancient knowing rises to meet you.
