Many of us carry wounds from childhood that can prevent us from living fully, joyfully, and authentically. Come step into collective healing and reclaim whimsy with us! Each participant will receive a combined Tarot + Astrology reading to support and guide your healing as well as a photo shoot with edited photos (and more!).
In this three-hour workshop, we will:
Do a group ritual to release and clear inner child woundings
Invite unstructured play and whimsy through finger painting, friendship bracelets, coloring, drawing, and more
Write a letter to our younger self
Create a collective altar to honor our inner kiddos
Be in sacred, playful, whimsical community together
You will also receive:
A combo Tarot + Astrology reading. We will pull cards and look at your natal chart, and we can pull a chart from a moment in your childhood to offer you clarity and insights to deepen your relationship to yourself and healing, or simply look at the year ahead!
A photo shoot with edited photos. You can recreate a childhood photo OR do a shoot that centers whatever play and whimsey means to you!
$22 down payment due at registration and the remaining $55 due the day of class.
We will email and text you for the down payment after you register!
