Prepare for the new moon
A new moon marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle – a wonderful time to set intentions and plant seeds for all that you wish to do and bring into your life (and create for the world!) over the coming month and beyond.
But how do you get yourself ready to bring your most aligned intentions and actions into the new lunar cycle?
In this live, online workshop, host Catherine LaSota will offer some methods for approaching your creative practice in the container of lunar cycles, followed by themed writing prompts to help you prepare for the powerful New Moon in Cancer (happening mere hours later, at 6:31am ET on June 25!)
Till the soil so you can plant the seeds!

Clarify
your intentions
Setting intentions – and writing them down – is a powerful spell. When we clarify our intent, and the actions we plan to reach our goals, the chances of success are much higher.
This workshop will help you to let go of what is not serving you in your creative practice and make space for the actions and mindset that will help you on your unique creative path.
The goal of this workshop is to connect with your creativity and learn some new tools for thinking/planning/creating. You'll learn a bit about how to work with the moon in your process, and you'll walk away with a ton of new writing.
And – no sharing of writing required! This is a time for YOU to connect with yourself and your practice.
Learn about the moon's cycle
We'll go over the basics of the lunar cycle and how the new moon can be so powerful to work with (and how to be ready for it!).
connect with cancerian themes
We are preparing for a new moon in the astrological sign of Cancer, so we will cover some of the themes of Cancer to inform our intention setting.
Prepare the soil for your next seeds
You'll spend some time writing to themed prompts that will help you clarify what you need to succeed in your next project/s.
set your intentions
There will be plenty of themed writing prompts for in-workshop writing time and intention setting for the new moon in Cancer!
