Everyone deserves their own space to think, pray, ponder, and worship, a dedicated sacred space will help you get back to your center.
At this workshop you will learn how to build a space to cultivate a relationship with spiritual realms, a practice that goes back thousands of years in human history. Outside of religion, altars have been part of how we commune with the sacred, dreams, the earth, death, and our own cultural understanding of life itself.
During the workshop, Jacqueline will share techniques and resources she collected during her personal journey and inspire you to build your own sacred space. During the two hours workshop attendees will learn how to:
• Work with their astrological birth chart to collect the elements that goes into the Altar.
• Find a suitable space for the sacred, a room, corner of a room, a table/desk, etc.
• Create the Altar's intention, purpose, and rituals.
Whether it is a contemplative practice, place, relationships, there is a human craving for the sacred to be revered and respected. Having an altar in your home is one way in which you can connect to Self. It is a way to give form to your desires and to help you stay on track with what you want to bring more of in your life. Participants must provide the time and date of birth when they sign up for the workshop.
