Twilight to Dark Skies - new moon experience for women

Twilight to Dark Skies - new moon experience for women

Friday 8th March 2024 from 17:45pm to 20:15pm

Gilling Castle
The Avenue, Gilling East, North Yorkshire, YO62 4HP

This is a wonderful opportunity to switch off, slow down and take time out for you. Align yourself with the rhythms of nature. Give yourself time to reconnect with yourself and the ‘YOU’ you left behind somewhere. This experience will allow you to do this – and so much more.

Afterwards, you’ll cast your eyes to the celestial heavens above while I show you a different way to stargaze. A contemplation on the dark, night sky that’ll leave you feeling awe-inspired yet grounded.

Alison from Adventures for the Soul will take you on a ‘twilight to darkness’ sensory meander that’ll leave your senses zinging. Moving slowly, you’ll experience the night in a completely different way. Feel the cold, crisp air as you breathe. Hear owls hooting and crunching leaves underfoot. Let the smell of nature awaken your awareness of this precious moment.

Please note that this has already taken place on 08/03/2024

Event darkness

The Moon has a big impact on the visibility of celestial bodies in the night sky. Try to plan your stargazing when there is no bright Moon at night as this is when the skies will be at their darkest.

The below chart shows if and when the skies will be at their darkest during this event. Moonlight is shown in light yellow and the Sun's twilight in light blue. Midnight on the date shown is shown as a white line with sunset to the left and sunrise the next morning to the right. A black background with stars shows the best times for stargazing.
