Hey babe,

The Fall Equinox is almost here! We are just a few days out from this weekend's Fall Equinox Pleasure Party and the Seagrape witches are absolutely buzzing with excitement! (*Make sure you RSVP for a chance to win a Seagrape gift card!!)

It's about time to welcome the darker months with open, receptive arms, but before we do: leaning into the magic and resources of the fall time. Seasonal shifts are impactful regardless of the time, but fall always seems to have a soft, sweet, sometimes bitter energy to it. How can you practice and celebrate this wheel turning? This transitional time from summer to fall is oozing with magic just begging to be harnessed! 

If you are seeking guidance or a practice to help you take advantage of and harness this equinox's power, we have a lovely offering to help kick off this weekend of grounding and reflection.✍️

Creative Journaling: Practices to Help You Find Yourself on Your Pages 

In-person at Seagrape on Friday, Sept. 20th from 6 - 8PM

If you are a crafty witch, scrapbooker, someone who loves writing as spellwork, or simply someone interested in learning more about this practice, this class is for you! Lifelong journaler and paper crafter Erin Fairchild of Journal As Altar will lead us through an inspired process to find ourselves on our pages. Get ready to:

• Uncover the simple delights of making marks on pages, writing our own narratives, cutting and pasting, and writing with really good pens. 
• Connect with witchy community, create without judgement, and be inspired! 
• Set yourself up for the Fall & Winter seasons with a self-care practice that is low-stakes, but high-impact
• Learn how to identify and interrupt oppressive social norms that show up in our creative practices. 
• Plus, attendees will get lots of paper crafty goodies to take home, including stickers, the perfect pen, and more as part of the class!

Have you wanted to dive into the practice of journaling but don't know where to start? Do you find it hard to commit to a journaling practice due to negative self-talk, perfectionism, or just not feeling connected to your creative voice? 

What if you could develop a creative journaling practice that welcomes your creative voice just for the joy of it and holds you in all of your complexity as our world intensifies? What if your journal came to feel like an altar and an ally? What if your creative practices were low stakes but high impact.

All this magical goodness takes place on Friday, September 20th from 6-8 PM. There are just 5 in-person spots left for this workshop, so  snag your ticket while you can! If you've been looking for a way to magically mark this time of transition, this offering would be a really beautiful opportunity. 

Hope to see you there, babes!
