Mindful New Moon Ritual at Waldorf Astoria Spa Chicago - June

Join us for a relaxing and rejuvenating Mindful New Moon Ritual with a June poetry workshop on the Waldorf Astoria Spa Chicago Terrace!
Gemini rules writing and communications; in this New Moon Ritual, guests will be led through a crystal meditation that focuses on the energy center of the throat in an activation that allows them to find their inner voice. Through this guided meditation guests will journey to find the words that want to come out. The importance of speaking your truth not only builds more confidence and deepens emotional connections but also helps regulate the nervous system, leading to an overall sense of well-being and self-actualization. This is for guests of all experience levels when it comes to writing, as plenty of tips & tools will be shared so that guests can leave the experience with their own written or found ( a poem made from cut-out magazine clippings or etching out other words on a page) poem. At the end of the evening, guests will be encouraged to read their poems out loud to finalize the vocal activation. Journals will be provided, but bringing their own/old journals will be encouraged so that they can refer to them for inspiration and reflection. Tea and fruit-infused waters will be provided. Workshop leader Effstathia Kalaitzidis will briefly share her experience as a poet/speak on her motivations when it came to publishing to encourage others to be bold and share their words with the world.
