Befriending the Dark

In modern culture, darkness is seen as evil and something to fear. The result is being resistant of- and extremely unprepared to face the inevitable darkness of the human experience such as fear, death/change, stillness, pain, intense emotion, the unknown and forces beyond our control.

However, this wasn’t always the case. In ancient times, our ancestors were very good friends with the Dark God/desses as it brought much value through its cyclical wisdom, spiritual connection and deeply transformative medicine.

The New Moon in Scorpio & the Lunar Samhain invite us to welcome and celebrate the Dark by experiencing our inner mysteries, connecting to the wisdom of our matriarchal ancestors and cultivating a deep relationship to our spiritual roots.

In this workshop, we will:

☾ Begin with a cosmic lesson to help us gain a greater understanding of the energetic currents

☾ Explore the teachings of Scorpio & the lunar rhythms as it portrays the process of death and rebirth including its connection to sex, the menstrual cycle, holistic metamorphosis and emotional vulnerability

☾ Integrate this wisdom through an embodied ritual: creating sacred space, all-levels gentle yoga practice (Moon time friendly), visualization, meditation, breathwork, alchemy of elements, writing prompts and a collective Oracle pull.

☾ Set intentions for befriending the Dark, building a healthy relationship with emotions and letting go of the old to make room for the new

☾ Sit together in reverence for our ancestors, past lives and all that is beyond the physical realm

☾ Have an opportunity to share thoughts & emotions, and/or ask questions

You will also be given a recording of the session and a self-study pdf. worksheet with writing prompts to support your integration process post workshop.
