The story of King Arthur and his Knights is oftentimes mistaken for a children's fairy tale. However, the meaning of the quest for the Holy Grail holds a deeper story; one steeped in mystery and magic. Knights like Gawain and Persival and ladies like Igraine and Ragnell played an instrumental role in King Arthur's success. This workshop will explore those who advised his court as well as take us into the Lands Adventurous in search of the those who wielded ancient magic to support peace in the land–magic that resonates with us still. Inspired by storytelling, the Tarot, and creative discussions, we will embark on a journey that will spark your imagination and assist you in gaining some insight into your own journey! No class 2/18.

Chinese medicine practitioners have been using friction to treat pain, reduce fevers, and treat coughs for thousands of years. Today, gua sha can be used to treat conditions such as carpal tunnel, plantar fasciitis, back and neck pain, and facial gua sha for sinus congestion and lymph drainage.

Gua sha spoons provided; we will also discuss other tools you can use.

Joseph Campbell once said that a journey, whether it be inner or outer, begins with a yearning to discover something new. It urges you forward, asks you to leave familiar surroundings and cross the landscape to discover the treasure that lies ahead. In this experiential workshop, create a character and take a journey that is both personal and mythological. Guided by Margaret's storytelling voice and inspired by Tarot, journaling and ritual, walk the path of the hero/heroine as you develop a mythic story that will illuminate your own personal one. By following your instincts, you will guide your character into an unknown landscape and acquire the knowledge you need to proceed on your own journey. Bring a journal for writing, a writing utensil and comfortable clothing/shoes for walking around the room.
