This two-hour online workshop will explore the symbolism and energy of August's new Moon. Every full moon has its own name based on the month or the season in which it appears. Creating a name for each full Moon allowed people to reflect on each season and how it affects them AND the natural world.
The Sturgeon Full Moon of August fully embodies summer's final days and signals the harvest season's beginning. There’s a subtle softening within us, and we begin to slow down. You’ll notice the days start to feel a bit shorter, and the sunlight has grown a bit weaker and more golden. You may even observe a few fallen yellow leaves. August’s sweltering lazy summer days inspire dreams of pumpkin spice lattes and sweater weather. We’re beginning to reap the rewards of some of our crops, either literal or metaphorical. However, we must be patient as we wait for our hard work and creations to fully culminate.
In this two-hour online workshop, using intuition and imagination, we will explore some poetry and create collaged cards, each reflecting a different aspect of who you are. The cards are made from simple materials: magazine images or photographs, scissors, glue, blank white heavy index cards, your favorite pen, and paper. We will journal with them and learn how to check in with them as trusted guides on our journey.
This method has helped hundreds of declared non-artists and artists discover their creativity and fuel their imagination. Once a card is created, your images will reveal their gifts and wisdom through journaling, visualization, and asking questions, all emerging from within you and reflecting on your strengths, beauty, complexity, dreams, and accomplishments. Each SoulCollage® card becomes a portal to your story and your innate knowing. Accessing these deep parts of yourself will help you navigate your daily life and find answers to personal and existential questions.
