We’ll also tie in the magic of the upcoming Litha (Summer Solstice).\n\nEach month we will explore a topic\, such as: female archetypes\, connecting with Goddesses\, Tarot\, seasons of your cycle\, womb clearing and healing\, ritual and altars. We will check in with an astrological outlook\, be led through a guided meditation and then have time for discussion and “ask a witch” Q&A. \nWho should attend? Those identifying as women\, who are interested in: \n\nGiving and receiving support\nExpanding magical knowledge\nCreating community and personal growth\nHealing personal and collective trauma\nBeing in service\n\nWe will meet the Sunday closest to the New Moon\, 4-6 pm at Star + Splendor.
