Navigating Scary Times
A few weeks ago I woke up with a clear call to change one of my classes to this topic. Times were already dark and destabilized. Then Thursday happened. We cannot let what happened at my niece's elementary school stay stuck in our bodies, minds and hearts. We must use this tragedy as an alchemical moment to bring more light into a world of pain and suffering. Enough is enough. Let's wake up from this collective nightmare.
Archetypal Tarot
Whether you're interested in learning more about the archetypal energies at play in our lives, the depth psychology of the healing journey, or the tarot cards themselves, you'll leave this class with tools to move from darkness to light and to experience more personal clarity and intuition.
Reclaiming Magic
To reclaim the magic we forgot was ours all along, we must go into the dark void where all creation begins and all true healing emerges. We must face our greatest fears and take back what belongs to us in order to restore light and balance. "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."
