As summer begins to wind down, many of us are starting to reflect on what the past few months have looked like. Whether that be a life-changing vacation, lazy beach days at the Jersey Shore, or even the start of an exciting new relationship, we all have moments and memories to look back on. While some might be able to easily leave the warmer months behind, others may crave a sense of deeper introspection. If this sounds like you, The Asbury’s Full Moon Party might be just what you need.

What To Expect At The Party
In astrology, the Full Moon is considered a powerful time to let go of what is no longer needed in our lives in order to make space for what we truly desire. At The Asbury Hotel’s Full Moon Party, you can begin doing just that while spending a peaceful evening under the stars.
The party will take place around the hotel’s outdoor heated pool on the night of the full moon, Saturday, September 6th, beginning at 7PM. The event is hosted by psychic and tarot reader Sarah Potter, who will guide you through a meditation intended to help gain clarity, release what needs to be left behind and invite feelings of gratitude.

“Each ticket includes entry to the main ceremony: a guided meditation, a spell we cast together as a group, and a beautiful collective moment of intention setting by the pool,” Sarah told The Jersey Shore Girl. “It’s part ritual, part celebration, designed to leave you feeling connected, clear, and radiant.”
The event will also include musical accompaniment, cocktails, mocktails, specialty vendors, and the option to go night swimming.
The Meaning Behind September’s Harvest Moon
September’s Harvest Moon, also referred to as the Corn Moon, is associated with summer’s transition into fall. The name traditionally came to fruition during this time of year when Native American tribes would harvest their crops for the season ahead. It was looked at as a time of abundance, gratitude, and celebration.

“I’ve always loved this moon, it feels abundant, luminous, and deeply magical, like a reminder that everything we’ve been tending to all year is finally ripening,” Sarah said. “Astrologically, it’s in Pisces, which brings a dreamy, spiritual energy that is perfect for release, renewal, and radical alignment. It’s a moon of big feelings and big visions, where your intuition is loud and clear. During the ritual, we’ll be working with that energy to anchor our intentions, harvest the wisdom of the season, and invite in clarity for the months ahead.”

Sarah shows her love for the Jersey Shore community by participating in Asbury Park’s annual music festival Sea. Hear. Now. “Every year, I also bless the grounds and stages at Sea Hear Now, setting good intentions and weaving protective, uplifting energy into the space so that everyone who attends can feel the magic,” she said . “It’s one of my favorite traditions and a reminder of how sacred community gatherings can be.”
Sarah also has a book, Sober Magic, coming out this year, which ties together her story of sobriety and magical practices.
“For those attending the Full Moon party, the most important thing to know is that you don’t need to bring anything but yourself,” Sarah said. “The ceremony is crafted to be accessible to everyone, whether you’ve been practicing magic for years or are experiencing ritual for the very first time. Come with an open heart, wear something you feel magical in, and be ready to connect — not just with your own intentions, but with a whole community of people celebrating under the moonlight.”
