The Difference Between The Dark Moon & New Moon

‘There’s a lot of confusion around The Dark and New Moon phase. In this episode I talk about the difference and how we can utilise both phases for personal growth.‘

The New Moon and Dark Moon are two distinct phases in The Moon Cycle. 

However they are often confused, or thought to be the same thing.

In this episode I clarify the difference between the two and give ideas and exercises for how you can key into the energy of both to support personal growth.
