Drawing can be a powerful tool for self-care, self-reflection, and internal growth. This workshop will eschew away from teaching a way to draw and lean in to drawing for pleasure and letting go of the outcome. We will begin by looking at a few artists who were prolific in their creativity and the way the art led the artist, more than the artist leading the work. We'll talk about trusting your voice and leaning into what feels right. We'll spend a short period of time reflecting and potentially looking for meaning in our mark-making.

Gather the following materials:

• Art materials that make you feel most comfortable or excited

In January 2025, the nodes will shift onto the Pisces/Virgo axis, activating a shift away from the quest for perfection toward the embrace of potential. In this workshop, we will review the upcoming as well as previous cycles of this nodal journey and dive into how to open up to Piscean energies by looking at the movements of Jupiter in this time frame. We'll explore themes being activated for different signs and anchor ways to work with this collective experience.

Gather the following materials:

• Your Birth Chart
• A notebook & writing utinsel

In this class, we will look at the life of our ancestors during winter time. We’ll explore how they adorned their homes, the special dishes they prepared for celebrations, and the communal activities that brought families together.

The dreamscape is a potent wellspring of embodied wisdom that is both personal and collective, human and non-human. In this intro workshop, we’ll explore ways of working with dream imagery to deepen creative expression and self-discovery. By inviting sacred and non-rational approaches to interpretation, we’ll expand our channeling skills and nourish our wise, mycelial inner worlds.

Gather the following materials:

• A journal or blank pages with a writing utensil
