Full Moon Meditation Workshop

Join us and experience a unique and powerful Full Moon meditation and storytelling workshop in the spectacular landscape at Hitchin Lavender.

Join John Harrigan for a full moon meditation workshop set within the landscape of Hitchin Lavender.

This workshop approaches the full moon as a ritual framework for transformation: a recurring threshold in time that can intensify attention, sharpen reflection, and create the conditions for meaningful change. Working through meditation, story, silence, and the relationship between body, imagination and landscape, participants are invited to step out of ordinary rhythm and encounter themselves differently.

Rather than treating transformation as abstract self-improvement, the workshop explores how change begins in lived experience: in attention, in feeling, in memory, in the stories we inhabit, and in the choices that begin to take form when we pause long enough to listen. The full moon becomes a structure through which to gather what has been obscured, clarify what matters, and reorient the will toward what is ready to shift.

The evening combines guided meditation, reflective prompts, and the sharing of myths, fairytales and symbolic narratives under the moonlit sky. Together these elements create a space that is contemplative, imaginative and quietly catalytic: a space in which participants can reflect on where they are, what they are carrying, and what kind of transformation may be asking to begin.

John Harrigan is an artist working across film, performance and writing, and a PhD researcher in Arts & Humanities at the Royal College of Art. His workshops are informed by his research into how meaning, transformation and authorship emerge through embodied practice, ritual process and lived experience. He has facilitated workshops and taught for organisations including the Royal College of Art, the Institute of Contemporary Arts, Wilderness Festival, the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and the BBC.

Testimonials

“I found Meditation at the lavender fields an enlightening experience but also under the moon it was like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. It was like a gravitational pull from the moment I entered the field, I felt anchored. The calmness I felt throughout the meditation was unlike anything I’ve ever felt before. Within the silence I found real strength and guidance. Empowering me through to my core. Guiding me to my truth. Thank you John.” – Amanda Berry

"I have attended several of the meditation evenings with John Harrigan. What an amazing experience, never having meditated before on my first visit John guided us through a meditation and the support was invaluable. John is able to set the tone of the group with ease, it is a calm and supportive environment in a beautiful setting. I can’t recommend John enough." - Amanda Ryan

"I've been to several of John's meditation classes and all have been insightful and enlightening but the full moon adds a whole new dimension! John expertly opens up the space creating a deep connection between participants and the environment. John is incredibly knowledgeable and approachable and makes you feel safe and relaxed knowing that you are being guided by good hands. I would recommend the full moon meditation to anyone interested in starting to meditate or to further their practice (in fact I found it so beneficial that I have introduced many friends to the classes and my mum!)" - Rebecca Leach

"I’m a big fan of John’s meditation classes and have been attending for the last four years.

For anyone wanting to up their self-care game, connect with nature & reconnect with themselves, I cannot recommend meditation with John highly enough" - Emma Stone
