Recipes, self-care tools and ways to live with the season.
The body is our first divination
tool - to be cared for, nurtured, and listened to.
We're thrilled to host instructor MJ Bzdak for this monthly series: Embodiment of the
Tarot: Exploring the Major Arcana, focusing each month on a traditional card seen through a whole new lens. Using the body as reference, we will learn to understand the deeper meanings and lessons of these cards, as well as our body as a tool of divination. For the month of August, we will be working with the 8th card of the major arcana: Strength.
This workshop is held on the 3rd Sunday of each month until December. Join us for this premier workshop of the series and get a discount code after class for the following ones!

MJ, why is the practice of embodiment important?
Because our bodies are wise. They are an amalgamation of experiences; ours, our ancestors and the collective’s. To connect with our bodies is to connect with more than ourselves because we are purely tuning in to the depth that we hold within, and how much we are connected to everything around us: what has come before, what is now, & what is shaping.
Because our bodies are our homes. They carry us, and literally sustain us. They hold so much information and intuitive knowing. In embodiment practices, we have the opportunity to call on that power, grounding it, and deepening our relationship with it.
Because there are so many opportunities to cut ourselves off from connection from our bodies from societal conditioning (we are regarded as machines meant to not pay attention to our needs/knowings/pacing under capitalism; parts of us are literally not ok under cis white supremacist patriarchal constructs). Let us act to shift that story. In order to embody & imagine a new world, we can no longer abandon ourselves....
