More than 100 women seen crying on Formby Beach

A group of more than 100 women from all around the north west met on a beach to 'laugh, swim and cry'.

The crowd of 107 went to a "beautiful spot" on Formby Beach to celebrate the Full Moon.

Moon Goddess Gatherings are organised for women to meet on the sand before the sunset.

The idea is that is it a "sacred space for all those with goddess energy to gather and celebrate the fulfilling spirit of the moon."

At the events women 'perform a full moon ritual', go wild swimming and do some meditation.

There was also a 'moon celebration' and 'moon tea'.

One of the group's members Karlee Matthews, told the Liverpool ECHO: "We met up last month for a Full Moon Ritual there was 107 women who sat together from all over the north west!

"We laughed, we cried and we went for a dip.

"Formby is a truly beautiful spot."

Karlee says the women went "to get together, but also for themselves".

She continued: "Everyone left with new friends, and everyone loved it."

Another group member, who went on the night, said she "loved every minute" and that "empowering would be an understatement".

A second wrote: "Thank you. I met so many wonderful people and I can't wait to do it again."

Another event is planned for the Full Moon later this month.
