Let the waters of renewal wash over you. We'll show you how.

Bringing Mikvah to Rosh Chodesh

Although it's not (yet!) traditional to immerse on Rosh Chodesh, these two practices go beautifully together.

Healing Waters

The Jewish practice of immersion, known as mikvah, offers the ability to uplift and sanctify sacred moments. For thousands of years, Jewish people have used mikvah to mark a moment of change.

Lunar Cycles

In Jewish tradition, each new moon is a holiday known as Rosh Chodesh, the beginning of a new month. Each month brings its own spiritual invitations, and this time holds a sense of deep renewal and possibility.

The Mikvah Experience

Embrace the Power of Transformation

In Jewish tradition, water creates a pathway to rebirth, and the new moon invites you into deep personal renewal. If you've found yourself feeling stagnant or stuck, this sacred practice will help you remember your inner capacity for change.

Reconnect with your spiritual essence

Reconnect with your spiritual essence

The waters of the mikvah, indoor or out, can serve as a personal sanctuary. This is your space to reconnect to your body and soul each month, no matter what else life brings.

Dips of the Divine: A Guide to Mikvah & Marking Sacred Time

What is a mikvah?

The mikvah is a sacred space of transformation and renewal, inviting you to connect deeply with your spirit and heritage. It can be a carefully prepared indoor pool, or a natural flow like a river or ocean. The key is that it contains "living waters." Rooted in ancient traditions, it offers a serene sanctuary where you can immerse yourself in the healing waters, symbolizing purity and rebirth.

Each visit to the mikvah is a personal journey, a chance to release the old and embrace new beginnings. Wrapped in warmth and intention, the Moonlight Mikvah Bundle Kit enhances this sacred ritual, guiding you to experience the profound beauty of self-care and spiritual awakening in the embrace of gentle, nurturing waters.

Plus, the stories and teachings you'll find within the Dips of the Divine, and the monthly intentions provided in the Kavanah Card Deck, are sure to inspire your practice.

What does a new moon practice look like?

Our ancestors have been marking time by the moon for thousands of years. But there's no one "right" way to craft your new moon practice!

Within the Moonlight Mikvah Ritual Kit, you'll find guidance to make mikvah (a ritual immersion in water) part of your new moon process.

What are the benefits of a new moon practice?

By regularly practicing an immersion on or around the new moon, you can expect to feel more comforted, at peace, and in tune with your inner wisdom. (Plus, you'll find that you intuitively keep tabs on the moon's phases throughout the month.)

Each month, you'll have this special moment to look forward to — and an anchor that helps you feel connected to the greater rhythms of the generations before you. It's a transformative journey of self-care and spiritual connection.
