Dreaming the Dark
2021-05-11 06:30 - 20:00 UTC
Join Keshia Cameron and Vanessa Nisperos as we use the darkest night of the month to dream in the dark and imagine the future that will best serve our health and healing. When farmers plant seeds, planting during the new moon phase (from May 11’s new moon to May 18) is ideal for plants to yield an abundant harvest that will continue to nourish us. Holding these same principles, we will use our words, senses, and meditation during the New Moon to plant intentions, seeds for our future selves. We will complete by creating vision boards to carry us through the season. BRING Your Journal, a Poster Board, and any Crafting Supplies (paint, colors, glitter, quotes, images, magazines). Also bring a Sacred Object (shells, stones, statues, etc), Water, and a Manifesting Attitude!
RSVP by emailing info@lk-wellness.com by May 7.
** The last half hour will be self facilitated. Participants are invited to share their completed vision boards and tag LK Wellness if they chooseTopic: New Moon Intention Setting
