Known by many as the Moonlady, Amy Martin will share her deep knowledge of the Moon.

You’ll be a pro-level Moon watcher after this talk, with a deep understanding of how Moon phases are created. Become able to predict where the Moon will be at any time with some great timing tips on when the Moon rises and sets in each phase. 

Understand about synchrony which creates tides and causes us to only see one side of the Moon. Discover how synchrony led to life on Earth and how the Moon stabilizes the planet to enable human life to evolve. Learn how Full Moons at perigee create Super Moons and how perihelion makes the winter Moon much brighter. 

Get insight into the Moon’s metaphoric qualities. Discover how you can live in tune with the Moon with gardening based on the lunar phases. Find reason for celebration in global lunar-based holidays and significant New and Full Moons.

The meeting will be held in person as well as on Zoom.
