Moonlit Mics
A monthly open-mic series for poetry and prose lovers alike, sharing the art of spoken word under the ambience of a full moon. These nights are for sharing, listening, learning, evolving, and fully immersing ourselves in the magic.
The Full Moon is a time of culmination, illumination, and heightened energy—the peak of the lunar cycle. It brings things into full view, revealing clarity and emotion. In literature and storytelling, the Full Moon is often associated with revelations and the manifestation of creative ideas.

Hunter’s Moon in October: Courage & Beginnings
October’s full moon is the Hunter’s Moon—bright, steady light after harvest. Traditionally it guided night journeys and new forays, a lantern for stepping into what comes next. Under this moon, we honor the moment you shoulder your pack, pick a direction, and take the first brave step. This is a moon for beginnings born from truth. For cutting hesitation loose.
Name the thing you’re starting. Make one small, undeniable move toward it. Offer up what no longer serves, then step forward—clear-eyed, heart-lit, ready to begin.
