Create Your Own Liquid Magic + Support Your Soul
Registration opens April 1
LEarn The art of essence making +
Dear Ones,
I am calling you in to listen to your inner knowing, explore and affirm your connection with Spirit and Nature, and learn the process of creating your own liquid magic in the form of a vibrational essence, from start to finish. This offering is an invitation to support yourself gently and profoundly in an intimate, in-person gathering of curious explorers and medicine makers. You will learn skills you can use to make this form of energetic medicine over and over again, as well as apply to other practices and areas of your life. We will gather with intention at the end of Spring to go into “the wilds” and into communion with the seen and unseen, emerging with new tools, a deepened sense of our interrelatedness, and the essence you created in hand. Come with curiosity, trust in yourself, and an open heart for the magical weaving of Earth medicine, community, and healing.
