Moonly Review 🌑 The Parting Gifts of Summer
Where Michał travels to the Gathering of Tribes, visits friends, and wizards epic Quests.
Good day to you, fine Being of Light. It's time for another Moonly Letter, this time written to you at dusk while overlooking magnificent shapes that will soon become Swiss Alps.
I'm now hosting a Semi-Nomad Mastermind where we are writing a book in 30 days with Cards as the primary medium. After the success of the first book cocreated with this method, which now almost sold out the first printed edition, I'm feeling excited and super alive. The Cardified Masterminds are the real freaggin deal - a playful cocreation of high-quality artefacts in a state of a perfect flow, by humans for humans, and most importantly - in person over a month.
Btw, we'll have an open day showcasing the book we're creating on the 19/10 in Switzerland. Let me know if you wanna come and see our work and some of your cards! And you can follow my live documentation in this twitter thread.
And speaking of Cardification of Anything - if you are into Cards and would enjoy a telegram group for card wizards send me a card pic on telegram, and I'll add you.

My body feels so happy with being in the mountains for a month. I immediately took the opportunity to reset my superhero routine, and in 3 days of being here I've already added 3 pieces that have been a challenge to keep up for some time now - exercise, meditation, early wake up.
Daily Squash & Swim & Steam routine with my co-facilitator Daneel.
Speaking of routines and habits - my core practice of journaling has shifted significantly in the last Moon cycle. I downsized my journal from a5 to a6 so it can fit in my pocket, I've decoupled my Inifinity Squares from my journal (they now live on an A4 piece of paper), and I've added a new visual journaling practice - glueing in photos from my Camera of Truth, the device that is an absolutely perfect fit for my needs.
The pic above was taken by my Shaman Brian, with whom I have travelled pretty much the entire epic summer of 2024. Our final journey took us to the Gathering of Tribes - the meeting point of the 500 people from the regenerative ecosystem.
The Gathering was the perfect conclusion to the summer. In less than a week I've sold most of the How To Build A Regenerative Village books, (co)hosted 13 workshops, attended 6, and most importantly connected with incredible humans doing amazing work.
The Gathering left me with the feeling of connection, hope, and energy. The regen movement is not just some hippies of the hills, we are a diverse and powerful ecosystem, becoming better and making tangible positive impact.
You can read my reflections in this article: Wizard at the Gathering of Tribes.
Being in Portugal is always a great opportunity to connect with dear friends. I spent the rest of the month visiting, connecting, supporting and being supported.
On the last days I took my final ride with Brian down to the Traditional Dream Factory. It's always interesting to come back to the project I was closely involved with some time ago. The Members Gathering left me with mixed feelings. I feel a lot of support for the project and its' pioneering role and I also feel disconnected from the creation process. In any case, it was great to feel the Land again and meet friends - old and new, and the place will always have a special role in my personal history.
Speaking of history, there is that card:
Two years ago I sat down with Silvia for a sigil ceremony, which included engraving my wish to host four events per year which would cover my financial needs with a sweet surplus. It feels that I'm getting closer and certainly the events are getting more and more epic. Most importantly, I've realised that I am really, really good at creating invitations and bringing people together, and I've been deep-working that art in the last Moon Cycle with pretty much unlimited energy.
And the Wizard part of me keeps on wizarding up incredible opportunities to invite people for epic quests.
Right before its astronomical transition point into Fall, the Epic Summer of 2024 provided me with its' parting gift - an opportunity to bring the crew together for a 40 day sailing expedition to Antarctica.
This one is for friends, and friends-of-friends. Reach out directly for details.

That's it for now.
Wishing you a delightful Moon Cycle and see you around.
