About this Event

Film Spells: Retrograde Salon

In the PRS Library!


Are you a filmmaker or writer with an abandoned project? Does it need to be reawakened (or relinquished) with the care of a community of intuitive and psychic fellow seers?

Join @arianne.ayu of @filmspells to liberate your process of intuitive creation. By welcoming Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius, we’ll explore your dormant work and play with multiple channeling methods to enliven it, celebrate its lessons, and make room for possibilities. After sharing our projects and identifying the story's desires, we’ll have spacious time to write or edit new life into them, before closing the day’s ceremony together.

This in-person salon is a working group and capped at 9 initiates, so we may go deep and offer personalized attention. Please bring something to write with (analog or laptop), and (optional) a shareable link or file if you’d like to present any media to invoke your project during introductions.


Tickets: $11 - $66 Sliding Scale (In Person Only Event)

Limited capacity to 9 participants!

Please email [email protected] or phone 323-663-2167 with any questions.
