FROM FEAR TO TRUST: THE MAGIC OF THE FIRST CHAKRA
With WildCat and Fireball
Do you have issues around money and health? Are those issues creating conflict or distance in your relationships? Insecurity and anxiety are all around us. Heck, the whole country seems to have a blocked First Chakra (center of energy flow regarding money, home, sleep, food, chores, etc.)
In this workshop we will (re)introduce you to a number of very useful magical tools to open the energy flow through the first chakra. We will move ourselves from fear, worry, and anxiety, to trusting the generosity of the gods and creating our own security in the context of our relationships, despite the state of the culture and the economy.
The workshop is open to both singles and couples. No previous experience with magic is necessary.
Leaders: WildCat and Fireball are experienced Witches with training in the Feri and Reclaiming traditions, and in urban shamanism. Cost is sliding scale $200-$100/person or $275-$165/couple. Location is Rhiannon's Rest, our romantic Victorian retreat on 6 acres in SW Austin. For more information or to enroll, email WildCat wildcat.russell@gmail.com or call 512-751-0645.
