reminder: FREE workshop on Monday + a gong sound journey
There's ONE more FREE workshop! Monday evening, open to all. If you want to join, just reply and let me know.
As usual, the topics of these workshops are always connected to a broader context. In the previous workshop, I showed how unfounded beliefs of "empath as a personality type" can lead to manipulative dynamics.
Likewise, in the upcoming workshop, we're starting with intimate and romantic relationships, but the fundamental ideas relate to ALL relationships—including with yourself!
This is a microcosm of what happens in The Spiral. We start with ritual and spirit work, but always have time to zoom out and recognize the broader implications.
The Spiral is a space of weaving, learning, questioning, ritual-ing, becoming. We start the week of January 16th and weave together until spring equinox.
Because this round is happening in winter, the broad focus is on introspective work, tending to things in the dark, growing deep roots. As someone who generally despises the cold, I have come to appreciate the unique medicine of winter, and I'm so excited to share it with you!
All the info is here.
~ Love Medicine: Recognizing Toxic Patterns – Monday, January 9th @ 7:00-8:30pm
This workshop is a space to share a couple things I find myself saying in all my 1:1 sessions to people who ask about relationships.
These things are not specific to gender or relationship type: all genders welcome, all relationships welcome.
I leave you with one more sonic experience, this one made by me. Most of the recordings on Siderealchemy channels are from online workshops, and for the sake of simplicity I don't use additional recording equipment. That means I don't play certain instruments, because the overtones and textures are lost in computer-to-computer audio.
However, on new year's day, I wasn't teaching a workshop. So I had a better live setup, with better recording gear. That means you can listen to a sound journey with gong, which is my favorite kind. Headphones recommended. Get comfortable and enjoy the ride.
In the meantime, see you Monday? Or perhaps in The Spiral. Let me know.
Glimmers of warmth,
S.

A few more favorites from The Spacious Tarot – if you grew up in the right biome for maple helicopters, perhaps you know why it's perhaps my favorite Ace of Pentacles. I love that there are reflections of others higher in the air.
The middle cards (Hanged One and Judgement) are frequently cards I don't strongly connect to. If you know the traditional context of the latter, you can probably guess why I roll my eyes at it. Whereas I like the ideas of the former, but don't often like depictions of it. Both of these cards made me stop in my tracks. I think they're stunning.
This space is also a reminder that Siderealchemy has music channels on the site, Soundcloud, and Youtube. Enjoy!
Also, remember Dive Into Your Deck and Light Your Lantern? They're 2 intuition-altering classes about tarot and oracle practice. And available anytime for self-study. Learn more on the site.
