The Sacred Space Conference

Every moment of every day, we have a choice. How often do we recognize this ability and power? In this experiential workshop we will first discuss choice as a magical act, an act of willingness, and will. We will then confront a choice currently active in our lives. We will walk the blade between yes and no. We will balance on the tip of both/and. We will stand on the pommel and gaze down the shimmering tool, forged in fire and quenched in liquid. We will draw the blade into ourselves, to strengthen our ability to live upright and with honor in this world.

During this workshop, explore the profound practice of veneration art, a creative and spiritual practice that connects you with your ancestors, deities, and spiritual guides. Participants will learn how art can hold great symbolism and intentions, discover grounding techniques, how to set intentional, ritual space for creating, explore personal correspondences and visual language, and create a unique art piece to add to your veneration space. No prior experience necessary. After general instruction is covered, meditative space will be opened. After the meditative space is closed, participants will be invited to share their observations of the experience. All supplies will be provided to complete a 10”x10” acrylic painting. Bring an open heart and a sense of curiosity, and plan to wear clothes you don’t mind getting paint on.

Level up your Lenormand skills to read the Grand Tableau, or GT, a card spread that uses all 36 Lenormand cards at once. Learn where to find the Significators for self and others and what their placement in the spread portends. Get started by reading horizontally, vertically, diagonally, corners, mirroring and knighting. Next consider distance and special topics, the past, the present, the future, the conscious and unconscious, specific cards in the hands of fate, then ultimately coming to the heart of the matter at the core of the spread and reading the intricacies of the Grand Tableau houses.
