Zürich Moon Circle for all humans - by Pia Simona

Zürich moon circle

A gathering for people who want real connection without the performance.This is moon work for the spiritually curious, the spiritually fatigued, or anybody who is tired of chasing the next promise of transformation.If you want something grounded, cyclical, and honest, this space is for you.

so what is it?

A gathering to regulate your nervous system through somatic movement, release, rest, and embodied ritual, guided by the astrology of the lunar cycle.We work with new and full moons as a rhythm for tracking what's shifting in your body and life. No two circles are the same. Each gathering is shaped by the energy in the room, what's true for us in the present moment, and the lunation we're working with.Some nights we write, talk, or journal; other times we move, rest, or drop into simple ritual. There's no pressure to perform, nothing to make palatable, no need to be anything but yourself.New Moon: a time for beginnings, intention-setting, planting seeds (literally or metaphorically).Full Moon: a time for clarity, harvest, and letting go; composting what no longer serves so something new can grow.We use astrology as a lens, not a rulebook. It's a practical tool for tuning into the lunar and zodiac cycles, as well as the cycles of nature and the seasons. We ground the sky back into our bodies, our days, our awareness, our choices.The goal is that you'll leave feeling more at home in your own skin, more connected to yourself and your own cycle, and with a sense of being part of something real and alive.No prior knowledge needed.Bring a journal, a pen, and whatever helps you breathe.

So who's Pia?

I'm Pia Simona, born and raised in Sydney, and have been primarily living in Zürich for the last 15 years. I'm a practical astrologer, somatic release practitioner (always learning), longtime circle facilitator, ex language teacher, mum of 2 kids under 5, endometriosis haver-and-advocate, and champion of sincere, cyclical, embodied living.I blend astrology, movement, ritual, multi-sensory perception and real talk in circles and 1:1 sessions for people who want something honest, non-performative, and grounded in what's real for them. No mala beads, wellness jargon, or spiritual posturing required.I've been holding space and facilitating groups for years, drawing on a background in teaching, astrology, somatic work (The Spiral/Emotional Clearing, Shakti Rising/Elemental Dance, Pelvic Bowl Activation, Multi Sensory Perception Practitioner-in-training), and a lot of lived experience.You don't need any prior knowledge, a belief system, or any particular experience to join.

FAQ

Do I need to know anything about astrology?
Nope. Everything is explained in plain language, always. You'll learn what you need to know on the night - no homework, no prerequisites.
What if I've never been to a moon circle before?
Perfect. Most people haven't. There's no "right way" to do this - you'll be guided through everything, and you can participate as much or as little as feels right.
Do I need to share/speak if I don't want to?
Never. Sharing is always optional. Some people talk, some people listen - both are valuable and welcome.
I'm trans/non-binary - am I welcome?
Yes, absolutely. This space is inclusive to all genders, full stop. You don't need to justify your place here.
What if I'm on my period/in pain/need to rest during the circle?
Listen to your body, always. You can sit, lie down, step out, or modify anything. There's zero pressure to participate in any particular way.
Can I come if I'm pregnant/postpartum/going through [insert life thing]?
Yes. Life doesn't pause for circles - bring yourself as you are, wherever you are.
What's the vibe/dress code?
Wear whatever helps you breathe and move comfortably. Some people wear leggings, some wear jeans, some wear dresses. It's not a performance - comfort over aesthetics, always.
Is this a therapy session?
No. This is a facilitated group gathering, not therapy. If you're in crisis or need clinical support, please reach out to a qualified professional.
Will this be recorded or photographed?
No. What's shared in the circle stays in the circle. Your privacy matters. If I am ever planning on photographing/recording for marketing purposes I will always ask for consent first.Informed consent is an underlying principle of my work and the way I live my life.Ready to join us?
