Art is Magic: Glamour Shots - Self Expression is Sacred

Self-Expression is Sacred. Living as and expressing the most authentic version of our soul is a profound act of self-love. We will do a group ritual to call back our worth and deepen our loving relationship to self. We'll also create glamour magic spell jars to take home that aid us in healing any insecurities and woundings that we inherited about our bodies, beauty, expression, and identities.
AND! While we work on our spell jars, Brianna Anderson with Ritual Media will offer a mini-photo shoot for each participant to embody what glamour means to you. Everyone will get an edited photo post-workshop. These aren't the Glamour Shots from your childhood and teenage years (although if that's your vibe, we support you) SO - Please bring / wear an outfit that makes you feel like your most badass, most glamorous, most eccentric self! We encourage folx to bring those outfits and accessories for their photo shoot that they have been to scared to wear or that others have told them are 'too much.' Your much-ness is welcome here.
All materials for the spell jars will be provided, but feel free to bring any magical correspondences (herbs, crystal shards, trinkets and tokens for your jars that you want)! Workshop is on Saturday, February 21 from 1-4pm in the Illuminations Studio at the Cherry Building. Please register ahead of time on the Illuminations website: illuminationscenter.com/schedule-an-appointment/ or call 319-775-0117! Cost is $44, paid on the day of workshop. Vegan + GF snacks, coffee, tea, and water provided.
