“A good well never runs dry; you can always depend on it. And water is the source of life. But the source of life, like all things, must be cared for; a good well must be tended.”
– Sharon Blackie, Author of 'If Women Rose Rooted'

Overview

Each of us are born with a creative spark and the capacity for deep ways of knowing through imagination and the natural world. Yet the demands of late-stage capitalism have cut us off from these vital facets of our wholeness. In this monthly drop-in experiential class, you’ll be guided into the imaginal world through deep imagery, drinking from the fertile source of your own creativity and intuition.
