It is so obvious that it’s often overlooked – both crystals and our bodies come from Mother Earth. Did you know our blood and bones are crystalline in nature? Did you know both our bodies and crystals radiate electromagnetic energy? \nThe way each of us relates to crystals is completely unique. There are trends of how each type of crystal supports us. That said\, everyone I have ever worked with has a completely different relationship with them. In this class you will create your own personal space to explore your unique relationship with crystals. \nWhat do your 5-senses share? How do you notice your energy? Does your heart beat change? Can you feel your feet? \nWe will explore these and more relationship building practices. \nMore\, less\, strong\, gentle…My feet are moving. My body feels light. \nThis class embodies how we relate to our energy as we connect with crystals. It also embodies how to begin supporting our energy with them. \nPlease bring one crystal\, about the size of your fist\, pillow(s)\, yoga/exercise mat or blanket\, journal and pen. \nThose enrolled in the class will receive 10% OFF the crystal of their choosing for this event. Once enrolled\, stop by to see the selection.

This is an opportunity for building community and connection with other women in the spiritual arts\, whether you are just starting on your path\, or it’s well-worn. \nLet’s celebrate Spring with the Goddess Vesna. Vesna is a Slavic goddess celebrated for waking spring\, youth\, and life. Vesna’s powers reach their zenith in the spring\, when everything is green\, flourishing\, and blooming. Vesna can only rise after the death of her counterpart\, the Winter Goddess Morana\, in this continuous cycle of life\, death\, and rebirth.  \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.
