February's full moon is the Snow Moon as it often hails the most snow.
Also called the hunger moon due to difficult hunting conditions, this moon invites stillness.
Our February Snow Moon Rituals were created for moments like these—a simple way to carve out space for stillness and intention. A deep inhale, and you’re invited to step into ritual, even if it’s only for five minutes.
Rituals don’t need to be perfect.
Rituals don’t require a grand altar or fancy tools. Start small.
Light your diffuser, sip a warm cup of tea, or pick up a notebook and begin to write. Don’t have a journal? That’s fine—scrap paper, old envelopes, even the back of a receipt can become a place to set intentions.
Every word, every breath, every tiny act is for you and your own healing. Still struggling to find something to write on? Reach for your cereal box and make it your journal. Literally take one action to simply make it happen for yourself.
February is still a season of nesting.
The world may feel quiet and slow, but beneath the snow, life is stirring, preparing to awaken with spring. (Anyone else super excited about seed sales? Don't forget to call your local community centers or farmers before heading to a big box store.)
Craft slow, warm corners of your space, no matter the size. A small rug underfoot, feet cradled in moccasins (we love Jamie Gentry designs), a candle that reminds you to slow down. Every moment is impactful.
Meet the February Snow Moon Diffuser Oil
Like the iconic Cowichan sweater, this diffuser blend promotes feelings of coziness, inviting all to share in its warmth and heritage. Scented with notes of spearmint, pine needle, and wet moss.
This Snow Moon, allow yourself a moment to slow down or your body will tell you. (Trust me, I am a kidney transplant warrior that will be celebrating 15 years with a living-donor kidney)
Learn about Kidney Donation this full moon
BC Transplant advocates that living kidney organ donation is an act of altruism that reduces the wait time for patients in need of a life-saving kidney. Living donors are often related to the recipient, but they don’t have to be.
Living donors can be siblings, parents, children, or relatives. A donor can also be a friend, relative through marriage, co-worker or a member of the recipient’s community. Adults in BC may choose to donate a kidney to someone they know, on behalf of someone they know, or can donate anonymously.
However you choose to mark the changing of the lunar cycles may it hold space for stillness, intention, and quiet remembering.
