Creative Astrology Workshop
★ Playing With The Cosmos ★ Creative Astrology Workshop ★
On Sunday 21st December from 16:00 to 19:00, join us for “Playing with the Cosmos”, a creative astrology workshop guided by @inhabiting.joanarita.
The planets are beautiful, brilliant and strange and maybe you are, too!
To celebrate the winter solstice and prepare for the new year, we will come together to play with our cosmic blueprints. Maybe you know your sun sign but it just doesn't feel right. Maybe you're a fan of astrology already and know all your planets but would like to open up the possibilities of embodying your chart.
All levels of astro-knowledge are welcome in this workshop where we will use somatic explorations, drawing and collage to go deeper in our understanding of our sun, moon, and rising signs and find out more about what they might be asking from us. Come ask an actual astrologer a question and explore your big three in a dynamic and creative way alongside new friends.
Joana Rita (she & they) is an artist, researcher and witch with practice as a consulting astro-coach. She comes with a queer & trauma-informed lens and deeply believes in the need for systemic and personal transformation to go hand-in-hand. She blends parts work, somatics and herbalism with her creative and astrological practice and would be so honored to share her work with you!
