Back by popular demand, the Book Arts Program will host a second round of Family Bookmaking: Gather & Connect.

Each participant creates a folded book form with pockets for found materials, a sewn book made of recycled materials to document findings in the wild, and an enclosure to house the books together. After the workshop, head outside to observe, collect, and connect with the natural world that awaits!

Moon & Lunar Phase Workshop

The Moon's 28-day journey from the new Moon to the new Moon, also known as "the lunation cycle," symbolizes the transformative growth of all living things—birth, growth, death, and rebirth. In astrology, this cycle, determined by the relationship between the Sun and the Moon, can be divided into eight phases, each with qualities and characteristics that symbolize where one is in their journey. Each phase represents a step in the cyclical process of life. In this interactive workshop, we'll explore the astrological meanings of the Moon and the eight-phase lunation cycle together. You will receive a copy of your birth chart, discover the phase of the Moon under which you were born, what it says about your life and personality, and how to work with the phases of the Moon throughout its monthly cycle. If time allows, we will also discuss the 'progressed lunation cycle,' a timing technique in astrology that divides one's life into three-and-a-half to four chapters, each symbolizing a phase or season. Friday October 18, 2024 7pm-9pm $30 - all inclusive RSVP REQUIRED TO ATTEND: https://www.flowacupuncture.org/event-details/moon-lunar-phase-workshop-with-brian-forman Brian Forman is an astrologer based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
