Heartspace Art Collective: New Moon Art Journal Circle

Join our circle as we gather to set new intentions and reflect in stillness for the New Moon.

We’ll connect with symbols through art journaling and oracle card guidance in a gentle Open Studio format.

Bring your own art journal, or explore with our ready-made zines, filling pages with images, washi tapes, stickers, ephemera, ink stamps, and more. Craft scissors and triangle/square-shaped gluesticks are available.

Our friendly facilitators are also here to support your creative flow.

Info: Arrive and settle into Heartspace. Take time to gently orient yourself to the space and enjoy a moment of radical hospitality with tea and snacks.

Info: We begin with introductions and name our intentions for this new moon: what we’re ready to let go of, and what we are open to receiving. A gentle prompt will be offered to help open the circle and invite us into shared presence.

Info: Connect with personal and collective symbols. Receive gentle guidance from oracle cards, create intuitively, and journal what has risen into consciousness.

Info: We witness each voice and each creation, noticing personal and collective symbols or themes that have emerged. A space to be seen, held, and heard.

Info: We end with shared reflections and gratitude. Together, we blow out the candles, honouring what has come to light and trusting it will integrate within.
