Tarot Support Group: 8 of Pentacles

A monthly meetup for learning tarot within the frameworks of spiritual development and liberation .TSG is a nurturing environment that encourages curiosity and critical thinking as we explore each of the 78 tarot cards through a liberation, spiritual growth, and care-centered framework.

In each meeting, we are invited to view a single tarot card as a window into our lived personal, spiritual, and communal experiences.

Each meeting, members learn about the symbolism and meaning of a tarot card, and explore a new theme through an original tarot spread. Members pull and divine their own cards, with Kaitlyn’s gentle support. Members leave with guidance, actionable advice, and greater trust in themselves and their intuition.

Join Moonshadows today to get access to this event, and replays of all our past Tarot Support Groups!

WATCH PARTY CLUB: Lilting
Feb
27

WATCH PARTY CLUB: Lilting

“Set in contemporary London, LILTING (2014) features intensely moving performances by martial-arts legend Cheng Pei Pei as Junn, a Cambodian-Chinese mother grieving the untimely death of her only son, and Ben Whishaw as her son’s lover, Richard. Set in her old-fashioned ways and not fully adjusted to the foreign culture she lives in, Junn finds her fragile world disrupted by Richard’s appearance. His attempts to communicate are first met with rejection and distrust—until Vann (Naomi Christie), a young translator hired by Richard, helps piece together the tender memories of the man they both loved. Graceful, moving, and humorous, LILTING explores the ways in which loss can bring us together even when cultures and generations set us far apart.”

6 of Cups Grief Circle (Free)
Feb
18

6 of Cups Grief Circle (Free)

Join myself & Adriana (The Death Alchemist) next Wednesday, February 18 @ 12pm pst for a special event centered around tending to and caring for our grief.

We will begin with a gentle trance journey - a soothing salve for the grief you are carrying. Kaitlyn will lead the group into the trance state, where journeyers will meet directly with their healing Spirit Guides. With your consent, your healing guides will help you identify where you are holding grief in your body, offer their unique care modalities to this grief, and invite you to root into joy, love, and hope. You will return from this journey feeling affirmed, encouraged, and loved as you are.

Please note that this is not a journey that will ask you to relive painful experiences or unearth difficult memories. This, like the 6 of Cups, is about your Good Spirits pouring into you because they care for you.

Following the restorative trance journey led by Kaitlyn, we will take what we saw, felt, smelled, tasted, sensed, and deepen into that experience by creating art with these sensorial energies as inspiration, guided by Adriana.

Please be sure to bring tools of your preferred medium (writing, painting, watercoloring, collaging, flower arranging, playing music or creating a playlist, storyboarding a scene that you can film or photograph later)

Those who feel comfortable are open to share what the trance was like with the group, as well as any messages that they received, however, there will be no pressure to do so. Adriana will also be pulling a few cards to help us get into our creative heart space, along with a closing message honoring our time together.

This event is free to attend, however we are collecting donations for CHIRLA, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights Los Angeles chapter. CHIRLA has been doing important work to support immigrants in our Los Angeles community, even more so now during this administration. Information on how to donate will be provided in your registration confirmation email.
