We are still so full of gratitude from our Strawberry Supermoon celebration last month! We slowed down to make new connections, witness the sunset, and contemplate our gratitude for the places where we feel full, guided by delightful prompts from our friend Samaa Abdurraqib.

What does it mean to feel full like the moon? Even parts of ourselves — just a hand, a belly, a mind, a mouth — can know this feeling, can lead us closer to the soft chaos amplifying the sky. We described it as bellies full of strawberries meeting minds full of questions; hearts full of love meeting mouths full of wisdom; images of fullness filling up our consciousness so we all became full with each other, full of each other's questions and wisdom.

We left wanting to return, to keep getting to know the full moon and each other... look out for future full moon picnics with Tender Table!
