🎓 What you'll learn!🎓

We will explore Vedic astrology which centers the moon instead of the sun in its practice. Exploring the various symbols connected with each of the twelve Zodiac signs in depth, we'll delve into the purpose and art of metaphor in poetry. What attracts us to mirrors, animals, bodies of water, wild forests, blue moons, strange stories, beautiful creatures, elaborate mythologies? How to synthethize and channel these symbols in a way that is honest to our intentions and personalities? There will be two generative elements in the workshop — one that is general and the second specific to each participants individual lunar sign.

Please note:

While the first part of the workshop does not necessitate active participation, the second part does. Please come ready to share, write and unearth together!
