Kiss Your New Moon Muse 2024

Just as a new moon represents the start of a new lunar cycle, our New Moon Muse represents a fresh start and a new beginning. She helps us reflect on both the past and future as we embark on new projects and adventures. Connecting to this muse and her lunar energies provides grounding and a sense of direction for our next creative cycle. New Moon Muse knows our hidden emotions, secret desires, and shadow-self most intimately. She helps us tune into our more subtle and unconscious feelings and beliefs and intuitively navigate our fears, worries, and dreams. Kissing New Moon Muse inspires us to feel more deeply, learn from the past, and creatively unlock and express our essence.

In this 2.5-hour  online creative encounter, you will meet your New Moon Muse through a unique “kissing practice” that combines active imagination, collage-making, expressive writing, and storytelling.  

We will also cover the basics for making a "creative adventure" dream planner for this year inspired by your New Moon Muse. 

No previous art-making or creative writing experience is required.
