A 10-Session Online Workshop

Overview

Every person carries two lights.

The Sun shows up. It speaks what is true. It acts from meaning, gives its strength in service of something larger, and bows at the end of the day before what it did not make.

The Moon receives. It tends without disappearing. It knows what is ours to carry and what must be released. It remembers what has been, so that what comes next is not lost.

For many years, these qualities have been taught under the names of the healthy masculine and the healthy feminine. Over time, we have come to see that these names can get in the way. These qualities do not belong to men or to women. They live in every one of us.

The Teachings of the Sun and the Moon is a new Four-Fold Way program exploring these two complementary ways of being and the qualities they invite us to cultivate within ourselves and in our relationships with others.

We will meet ten times across the year, creating a sustained practice of presence, connection, truthfulness, receptivity, strength, and care.

This is not a course to complete. It is a year of practice, in the company of others doing the same work.

Action and Receptivity

We all carry the capacity to act and to receive, to speak and to listen, to offer our strength and to tend what is entrusted to us.

The Sun and the Moon offer a way of understanding these complementary qualities within the Self.  The Sun brings presence, clarity, truthfulness, strength, and purposeful action. The Moon brings receptivity, connection, reflection, care, and the wisdom to know what to hold and what to release.

Neither is complete without the other.

When the Sun is too strong, action can become force, certainty can become rigidity, and strength can become domination. When the Moon is out of balance, receptivity can become passivity, care can become overextension, and connection can come at the cost of our own boundaries.

The practice is not to choose one over the other. It is to learn how to hold both.

Through the year, we will explore what it means to bring these qualities into balance so that we can meet ourselves, the people we love, and the world around us with greater clarity, compassion, and purpose.

The Teachings of the Sun

Practices of Presence, Truth, Strength, and Purpose

The Sun shows up.

It asks us to be present to what is here, to speak what is true, and to act from meaning. It gives its strength in service of something larger than itself.

The Sun invites us to explore:

• Presence — showing up fully for ourselves and others

• Truthfulness — speaking and living what is true

• Integrity — aligning our actions with what we value

• Strength in Service — using our power in service of something larger

• Purposeful Action — acting with clarity and intention

• Humility — recognizing what is ours to do and what is beyond our control

The Sun also teaches us when to stop. At the end of the day, it bows before what it did not make.

The Teachings of the Moon

Practices of Receptivity, Connection, Care, and Release

The Moon receives.

It tends without disappearing. It listens, remembers, and makes space for what is emerging. It knows what is ours to carry and what must be released.

The Moon invites us to explore:

• Receptivity — allowing ourselves to receive rather than always doing

• Connection — cultivating deep and authentic relationship

• Listening — making space for what wants to be heard

• Care — tending ourselves, others, and what has been entrusted to us

• Remembering — honoring what has been so that what comes next is not lost

• Release — recognizing what is no longer ours to carry

The Moon reminds us that receiving is not weakness, and that tending does not require us to disappear.
