Maitreya Consciousness & the Wesak Moon
Why I’m All In for May 2025
There’s something brewing, something big, and I can feel it deep in my bones. It’s a calling—a convergence. And it’s happening this May 2025, under the light of the Wesak Full Moon.
I want to share with you why this is so important to me, and why I’m choosing to show up fully—vibrationally, spiritually, and communally.
So, what is the Wesak Moon?
Wesak, also known as Buddha Day, is one of the most sacred days in Buddhism. It marks the birth, enlightenment, and passing of Prince Siddhartha—Gautama Buddha—on the full moon of May. That’s right: all three of these pivotal moments in one soul’s journey happened on the same moon cycle. That alone is enough to pause for, to honor.
But it goes deeper.
Each year, millions of people meditate on this day. It’s like catching the perfect wave—when we align with that collective field of peace, compassion, and kindness, we get carried. We get uplifted. The energy is that powerful.
This year, in our ecosystem, we’re celebrating something called Maitreya Consciousness—the prophecy of the next Buddha. The belief is that this time, the Buddha may not incarnate in human form, but instead as a vibration. A resonance. A collective shift. And that speaks so clearly to my work with sound, with movement, with presence.
Why “Westside Moon”? Why now?
Back in 1999 this day was recognized as sacred. In 2022, our ecosystem began celebrating with an event that included 7 countries and 42 rooms. The next year? 16 countries and 146 rooms. This movement is growing, and I’ve been listening.
And now, here we are.
This full moon in May, with the sun in Taurus and moon in Scorpio, marks the beginning of a great convergence. It’s not just about honoring the Buddha’s journey, but stepping into our own: embodying the prophecy of Maitreya. It means becoming a friend to all. Spreading peace not just in thought—but in action, in vibration, in sound.
So here’s how I’m taking part:
- I’ll be holding space through sound healing—letting my gongs, bowls, and heart transmit that fourth-ray energy: harmony through holistic resonance.
- I’ll be gathering in circle—physically and energetically—with those committed to peace.
- I’ll be teaching, guiding, listening, and creating opportunities for others to plug into this field, to play their own note in this symphony of peace.
- And I’ll be inviting you—yes, you reading this—to join me. Let’s do something. Let’s not let this prophecy fade into folklore. Let’s make it real. Join a soundbath, play an instrument.
Someone wise once said, “The first day of peace on Earth will come when all people, all over the world, will hold hands, form a circle, and ring the bells of peace.” I believe in that. I believe we can be the reason it does happen.
So, this May full moon, I’ll be showing up—with sound, with love, with everything I’ve got. I hope you’ll stand with me in this circle, wherever you are. Let’s vibrate peace together.
With love and resonance,
