So, after a month, I realized I haven’t been getting enough response to have classes, so I decided to postpone classes for a few months. I am thinking I will try again in the spring. But it would be helpful to see what kind of interest there is in attending these classes. So, if you ARE interested, let me know, and I will be sure to contact you with details. 

I will most likely be doing these classes online, and people can join in the class online, or purchase the replay after the fact. 

Just so you know, we are following the Study Program which is outlined on the website. 

We will be doing classes in sections…. so, for example, the first section is BASIC information, and that will take 5 weeks. After that, each topic will be covered in classes. I expect the classes to last 60-90 minutes each week.

The idea is that you can pay $20 per class, or you can get a section for $75 each, or the whole class portion of the initiate’s program for $275. You get to choose which level you would like.*

*Please note that these prices may change, but registering any time before we start will ensure these prices for are locked in for you when the time comes. 

Here are the details for the Initiate’s program:

Thank you!

The December Full Moon is on December 26, 2023 at 5:33 pm MST.

This is known as the Cold Moon due to colder weather and the desire to hunker down in the warmth of your home with family and friends. It also related to the longest night of Solstice.

This full moon has the Moon in Cancer and the Sun in Capricorn. Cancer tends to be emotional and sensitive so do watch your feelings. It’s a good time to compassionate to others as well as yourself. Capricorn, on the other hand, is responsible and productive, so this will help you to get things done often for the benefit of others.

Watch the video to learn more.

Make a note that our Winter Solstice ceremony was on December 16^th on Facebook Live and the video is still available to watch both on Facebook and YouTube. As for classes, we haven’t had much interest, so we are pausing it for now, and maybe will resume with something in the Spring.

Blessings of this Full Moon to you!
