The Three Spiritual Festivals will be celebrated on the following days: Easter on April 12, Wesak on May 12, and the Christ’s Festival on June 11, and World Invocation Day on June 11.

Check locally for the actual day of the festival meetings, which may vary from the date of the full moon.

All times are taken from the Swiss Ephemeris

In meditation, it’s important for the practitioner to understand that for long-term benefits, it is generally easier to meditate productively during the phase from the new moon to the full moon, rather than from the full moon to the new moon. The first half of the lunar cycle focuses on intensification, gathering, and accumulation, while the second half emphasizes processing and distributing. Adhering to this natural rhythm can lead to more sustained progress over time. By effectively channeling newly gained energy, the group ensures the continuous flow of both incoming and outgoing forces, preventing emotional, mental, and psychic blockages, which could otherwise lead to physical repercussions.

In addition to these aids for the full moon meditation, you may also want to look at our section on Reflective Meditations. It contains two reflective meditations given by The Tibetan:

Major Spiritual Festivals, which are celebrated through our Subjective Group Conference and Festival Talks:

Festival of Easter Aries full moon
Festival of Wesak Taurus full moon
Festival of Goodwill Gemini full moon

The New Group of World Servers works in a three-year cycle, beginning at the Taurus full moon:

 

2020 Crisis/Consolidation

2021 Tension/Expansion

2022 Emergence/Impact on public consciousnes

2023 Crisis/Consolidation

2024 Tension/Expansion

The Festival of the New Group of World Servers is celebrated every seven years from December 21 to 28. The next NGWS festival is December 21-28, 2025.

“The Soul’s meditation is rhythmic and cyclic in Its nature as is all else in the cosmos. The Soul breathes and Its form lives thereby. The rhythmic nature of the Soul’s meditation must not be overlooked in the life of the aspirant. There is an ebb and flow in all nature, and in the tides of the ocean we have a wonderful picture of an eternal law… the idea of a cyclic response to Soul impulses lies back of the activities of a morning meditation, a noonday recollection, and an evening review. A larger ebb and flow is also indicated in the two aspects of the full moon and the new moon.” (Alice A. Bailey)
