The new moon is a wonderful time to set intentions and launch new creative projects. New moons happen once a month and signify the beginning of a new cycle, which many think as "a cosmic reset." Connecting to these lunar energies can provide grounding and a sense of direction. Our agenda includes a brief discusson about New Moon energy and how it allows us to move forward with our creative intentions. We will then focus on self-reflecting questions that will be provided prior to the session to help us determine what habits, blocks, or other barriers to our creativity that we will leave behind. You will set intentions for your creative practice and create affirmations that you can use for the next 30 days going into February 2021. The session will end with a guided meditation to seal our intentions. A worksheet (optional) with reflection questions will be provided at least 24 hours prior to the event as well as a Zoom link.
