An immersive evening of myth, movement, and sound to honor the Goddess Ceres.
About this Event

Join us for an immersive night of myth, movement, and sound in honor of the asteroid goddess Ceres (also known as Demeter in Greek mythology). In the Velvet Observatory, we learn about and explore how the mythic and astrological aspects of Ceres are alive in each of us, through our charts, hearts, and bodies.


Ceres is known as the protector of plant growth, soil fertility, and seasonal/ agricultural cycles. She ensures the harvest and protects the environmental conditions for abundance. She symbolizes fertility in all of life and also motherhood. She can be called upon to defend our basic civil rights, as well.


We celebrate the divine goddesses of western astrology with an open welcome to all. This is a space that uplifts the divine feminine in all of us, regardless of gender identity/expression.


Your co-hosts are a somatically trained DJ, a sound bath artist, and astrologer with deep training in shadow work. We have come together to create the Velvet Observatory as a place to remind us of the embodiment and animate presence of all the asteroid goddesses.


During our 2.5 hour gathering, you will experience...


A welcomed landing — arrive and settle in, enjoy tea with us


A sacred lesson — listen to the story weaving of the myth of Ceres (Demeter) + how to understand her astrology in our individual charts


A guided embodiment practice — join in a guided intention-setting to honor Ceres


A DJ'd dance set — move to 40-minute downtempo, ecstatic music attuned to the goddess


A sacred sound bath — relax into 30 minutes of nourishing sound


A heart-full closing — pour more tea, chat with others, and continue to connect with Ceres’ divine energy


DOORS CLOSE AT 7:15 so we can have a tight container.
