September workshop series ~ registration OPEN! + class registration coming SOON
One of the intentions of Siderealchemy is to hold space for life-altering, reality-shifting conversations & insight. Hopefully, these spaces ripple out to spark more spaces, more conversations, more connections in the world.
Over the years, some of my most consistent feedback is about how I connect disparate ideas. From a student in my tarot class from summer 2020:
"This isn't your typical tarot class. S. weaves in many different perspectives & social issues into her class and helps us to understand how even something like tarot has been influenced by our culture & how it has things to teach us about the days we are living in today. She brings in an enormous amount of depth to this tarot class that will not only expand your mind about using intuitive tools, but also about how we relate to the world around us."
Because everything is connected. And even something as simple as pulling cards can be a mirror to much bigger implications.
Not just about you, though those implications are profound in & of themselves.
But also about the world, conditioned beliefs, social conventions, & much more.
Registration will soon be open for Dive Into Your Deck & Light Your Lantern.
(Apologies for the delay. Full disclosure: last week, a close family member was admitted (briefly) to the hospital. Things are looking good, but this is the second time I've experienced this in the last 6 months. Please bear with me; I'll have this live asap.)
Anyways -
This weaving I do, this practi-spiri-cality that I teach, is hard to describe.
But rather than spend the next few weeks talking *about* practi-spiri-cality, I've chosen to create a workshop series, where you can experience it directly.
This series is an invitation to join potent, unique conversations.
They are by donation & open to everyone.
Here's what's happening:
Super Moon Cycle Academy ~ Tuesday, September 7th @ 8:00-9:00pm US Eastern
The moon (menstrual) cycle is one of the most powerful biological forces in human existence. And yet, collectively there is so much discomfort & stigmatization of a process that is so natural. This workshop is not about the experience or the details of having a menstrual cycle, but rather the ease (or lack of it) we have in talking about it. Or even acknowledging it.
This workshop is for everyone. You can have a current, former, or never moon cycle. You just need a willingness to be in this space. Deep listening is participation.
The implications are much bigger than pads vs tampons vs menstrual cups.
Furthermore, it's actually a small easy step to look at collective discomfort with the menstrual cycle & see how it relates to both the Super Bowl & the Academy Awards. (Hence the title.)
Want to understand more? Perhaps drop some of your own discomfort? Punt the ball. Open the envelope. Just sign up.
Triple Definitions ~ Tuesday, September 14th @ 8:00-9:00pm US Eastern
The triple goddess—maiden, mother, crone—permeates much of modern Western secular spirituality (as in “spiritual but not religious”).
This workshop is for everyone. Regardless of your gender, these definitions have huge implications for how you think about women & their context in the world. You don’t have to have a lot to say, if you feel a bit removed & mostly want to learn. Deep listening is participation.
We'll explore various definitions & examples. Not for the sake of creating consensus around a single definition, but to understand how powerful the options are. Additionally, we'll examine a real-world example of a single age being all 3.
Moreover, we'll consider how a single word swap—just one word—in one of the most widely-read books in the world has a nearly unfathomable impact about the feminine, power, & mystery. Come on in.
Unfiltered AMA (ask me anything) ~ Tuesday, September 21st @ 8:00-9:00pm US Eastern
My first AMA! Ask me to pull a card on the spot, learn about my own practices, hear how I navigate spirit work in our hyperconnected yet isolating world. Why is "dive" such a frequent metaphor? How many mummies have I seen in person (so to speak)?
I'm up for it if you are. And I'm super excited to see where the threads go in this space. Let's go!
I can't tell you how excited I am to host these. They've been on my mind for a while.
(For the sake of clarity & consent - they will be recorded, simply because I record all of my offerings. I really dislike when people don't mention that until the last minute; it feels super gross to me.)
If you're wondering - Why do I have to register? — great question!
I've been teaching for over 25 years. There are differences between a workshop for 10 & a workshop for 50, even with the same content. The best teachers know to adjust the structure of a workshop to the group. Your registration allows me to create the best possible space for dialogue & connection.
I look forward to connecting with you next month! Please feel free to share the registration with friends.
And when I say by donation, I mean it. I believe in accessibility. There is no expectation & no judgement.
So, which workshop grabs your attention the most? I would love to know!
In the nuances,
S.
