The Moons That Guide Our Way
Pillars & Principles
Moonmoons is shaped by an ethos rooted in ancient and living traditions of healing. Our pillars and principles reflect a lineage of passed-down wisdom and refined practice — a meeting of ancestral knowledge and contemporary ways of holding care with integrity.
The purpose
TO SUPPORT THE HEALING AND LIBERATION OF ALL – ONE BEING AT A TIME.
Moonmoons’ Pillars & Principles reflect our belief that healing must be carried with responsibility, safety, and respect, especially in a world often shaped by disconnection. They guide how we move: from vetting healers and practitioners, to how we work as a global healing platform and organization — this is how we choose to grow and hold space, for ourselves, and others.

Principles:
“Compassion Is Key”
“Your Path, Your Choice”
Humility
NO SPIRITUAL NARCISSISM
Spiritual power is not personal power — and it must never be confused as such.
We honor the difference between receiving guidance and claiming superiority. True spiritual work requires humility: the willingness to listen, to serve more than we shine, and to recognize that any wisdom we carry is borrowed — not owned. When spirituality becomes a stage for ego, it loses its integrity. When it becomes a mantle of specialness, it loses its truth.
We reject the narratives that place a person as divinely favored above all others — and instead practice the quiet devotion of being a human vessel. Gifts do not make us exceptional; they make us responsible. Connection does not make us “better”; it calls us to be more accountable. Knowing does not make us powerful; it makes us stewards.
This principle honors groundedness and the refusal to exploit influence. It reminds every practitioner, every seeker, and every part of Moonmoons that spiritual work is not about elevation or exceptionalism — but about service, presence, and humble human connection.
HONOR THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE US
We must know the ground we walk upon – and understand who laid the foundations for us.
From Mother Earth to our ancestral lineages, from Indigenous cultures to forgotten wisdom keepers, this principle calls us into reverence and into the decolonial discernment that prevents appropriation. Every practice we carry, every teaching we offer, traces back to those who came long before we arrived. To honor them is to move with humility rather than entitlement, curiosity rather than blind consumption, context rather than extraction. It is the recognition that globalization allows knowledge to travel, but does not grant permission to sever it from its roots.
Honoring those who came before us does not mean idealizing them. We inherit wisdom, but we also inherit wounds. Reverence includes discernment — the courage to recognize what was brilliant, what was harmful, what needs repair, and what must evolve. To honor lineage is to engage it honestly: learning the histories, acknowledging the impacts of colonization, giving credit, and choosing to participate in the healing and evolution of traditions rather than the erasure or repetition of their shadow.
This principle honors lineage, respect, and relational responsibility. It reminds every practitioner, every seeker, and every part of Moonmoons that we are inheritors and guardians, not inventors. Wisdom is not a commodity; it is a living continuum. When we honor its origins — without romanticizing or distorting them — we keep the thread unbroken and ensure that what was passed down with devotion continues to be carried with integrity and truth.
Curiosity
MAKE SPACE FOR PLAY
Play is the divine spark that keeps the soul alive.
We honor the lightness when we allow play to move through us — the moments when we stop taking ourselves so seriously and remember that wonder, like breath, is essential to creating life. Play is the art of loosening our grip and letting the inner child lead us toward the path of least resistance, where joy can become its own compass.
Play is also the practice of trying, experimenting, and beginning again. Babies do not walk without falling; likewise, we do not grow without moments of risk, awkwardness, or discovery. Laughter is the medicine, dance is the portal, and creativity is the direct channel to the divine.
This principle honors joy as a path to wholeness. It reminds every practitioner, every seeker, and every part of Moonmoons that healing isn’t only born from depth, shadow, or discipline — but also from freedom, imagination, and the willingness to be beautifully imperfect. When we make space for play, we make space for abundance.
THERE’S ALWAYS MORE TO LEARN
True wisdom begins with remembering how little we truly know.
We honor the lifelong path of learning — the endless unfolding that becomes possible when we stay open, curious, and willing to listen to what we don’t yet understand. Every person we meet carries lessons: elder, child, practitioner, friend, ancestor, stranger. Every true master knows that they are always a beginner, a teacher also a student.
Every experience — even and sometimes especially the uncomfortable ones — widens our horizon and deepens our awareness when we greet it with presence rather than certainty. To stay fixed in our beliefs or anchored in ego may feel “safe”, but it can potentially close doors that hold real magic on the other side.
This principle honors being forever students of life. It reminds every practitioner, every seeker, and every part of Moonmoons that wisdom and even mastery is not a conclusion but a continual expansion. Learning is creating spaciousness. Learning is leaning into movement. Learning is staying open to the world as it reveals and reshapes itself, again and again.
ALCHEMY
ALIGNMENT IS A CONSISTENT PRACTICE
Alignment is not a destination — it is the consistent calibration of coming back to center.
We honor the discipline of recalibration. Being centered is a continual process of awareness, honesty, and conscious adjustment. When ego rushes ahead to take the front seat, or when we drift too far from our integrity, alignment is the choice to bring ourselves back to the middle — the quiet strength of finding equilibrium again. It lives in the sliver between Yin and Yang, the liminal pause where clarity gathers, the subtle alchemy and practice of choosing presence over impulse. It is practice, practice, practice.
This principle honors dedication and the steady work of rebalancing. It reminds every practitioner, every seeker, and every part of Moonmoons that transformation may begin with intention, but it is sustained through practice. Alignment is not a peak to be conquered, but a lifelong rhythm — one that becomes more refined, more resonant, and more precise over time.
FAST DAYS MEAN SLOW DAYS TO FOLLOW
Growth comes in seasons, some fast, some slow — and so do we.
We honor the truth that every period of expansion requires an equal period of rest. Just as nature moves through cycles of bloom and decay, fullness and dormancy, our bodies and spirits follow these rhythms. Fast days are the moments of momentum — when clarity arrives, energy rises, and we move and shape with purpose. Slow days are the necessary return — the nervous system exhales, we integrate, and new wisdom infuses itself beneath the surface.
Nothing in nature stays in perpetual summer. Winter restores what spring will need, and autumn lets go of what summer can no longer hold. To ignore these cycles is to move against our own design. To honor them is to remember that rest is what makes growth possible.
This principle honors attunement, pacing, and the intelligence of natural rhythm. It reminds every practitioner, every seeker, and every part of Moonmoons that transformation demands both movement and stillness — that slowing down is not falling behind, but it is where true alignment is born.
COMMUNITY
SAFETY FIRST, ACCOUNTABILITY SECOND
Safety is the baseline — but safety alone is not enough.
True community asks us to hold both tenderness and truth: spaces where people can lean in and be seen, while also being invited into deeper self-awareness and growth. Safety without accountability can lead to stagnation, collapse, or cycles repeating themselves. Accountability without safety is not possible.
In our spaces, safety means clarity, consent, ethical holding, and sensitivity to the many histories people carry — cultural, ancestral, personal. It means listening, attuning to context, and honoring the real impact of lived experience. This means recognising that while our wounds shape us, they do not give us license to project or displace our pain onto others. It is the practice of self-reflection, honesty, repair, and choosing responses that support not only ourselves but the wider field.
This principle honors the balance between communal care and discernment. It reminds every practitioner, every participant, and every part of Moonmoons that healing happens in relation — not in isolation, not in unchecked emotion, and not in narratives that go unexamined.
IT TAKES A VILLAGE
Community is not a metaphor — it’s the simple truth that nothing meaningful is ever built alone.
We honor the power of growing and creating together — sharing the load, uplifting each other’s strengths, and weaving spaces where wisdom is not centralized but circulated. It is the practice of collaboration, reciprocity, and building toward something larger than oneself. We lean in when others need to lean back, because in a true village, someone will always step forward.
This principle honors interdependence, co-creation, and the communal roots of all transformation. It reminds every practitioner, every seeker, and every part of Moonmoons that what we create, we create together — through conscious partnership. Each hand, each brick, each fiber supports the structure — and when combined, form a beautiful whole.
STORY
COMPASSION IS THE KEY
Compassion is a deep spiritual technology that dissolves the illusion of separation.
Every story we carry — the beautiful, the unbearable, the unfinished — moves within a wider field of consciousness. Compassion teaches us not to turn away from suffering, but to meet it with presence rather than hardness. It invites us to recognize the echo of our life in the life of others — human, creature, earth — revealing that we are woven from the same source.
One humanity. One consciousness. One shared breath moving through many forms.
This principle honors the recognition that compassion is not about fixing or merging — but about seeing clearly. It reminds every practitioner, every seeker, and every part of Moonmoons that compassion arises from the wisdom of interconnectedness: a spacious awareness that allows us to remain open and awake to the truth that we belong to something far larger than the individual self.
YOUR PATH, YOUR CHOICE
Our pain may not be our choice – but our healing always is.
We cannot control the trauma we inherit or the harm that finds us — but we can choose how we meet it. Healing begins the moment we remember that we are not powerless characters in our story, but authors with the courage to shape what comes next. Others may support you, witness you, or offer their wisdom, but the path itself is yours to walk.
Your narrative. Your pace. Your moves. Your reclamation.
This principle honors autonomy, inner authority, and the sacred dignity of choice — in healing, in practice, and in how we show up for one another. It reminds every practitioner, every seeker, and every part of Moonmoons that true healing can only arise from within, and that our role is not to lead someone’s journey — but to stand beside them as they choose their own way forward.
