About this Event
We are the wisdom keepers, healers, oracles, witches, medicine women, sages, story tellers, and weavers of magic.
Whether mid wiving births or deaths, working with plant allies, energetic touch, dream working, retrieving souls, healing physical pain, art, music, singing, or sacred dance...
We gather in divine devotion and remembrance, offering to Great Mother--honoring our ancestors and generations to come, the elixir of life: pure, embodied love.
In each gathering Venus will lead a cycle check in—honoring all phases of the womb, followed by a womb meditation and Goddess activation. This month we’ll be activating Hindu Goddess Saraswati of Learning, Arts, and Music.
One sister will be featured to share her medicine with us as an offering for the evening. This is her craft, her passion, her magic; what she is in sacred devotion to that heals the collective in her own unique way.
October New Moon offering : Vanessa Carvajal
Join us for an exploration of self through the language of symbols. Drawing inspiration from Carl Jung’s mandala practice and Buddhist mandala traditions, this class invites you to give shape and color to your inner world. A brief exploration of mandala history and symbolism flows into a guided meditation to help you turn inward and access the subconscious mind.
With a canvas and art materials provided, you’ll have space to follow your curiosity, experiment, and let your intuition guide what takes form. No art experience is needed.. just a willingness to explore.
