LUNAR ALCHEMY in 2025
The SACRED TURNING:
A Creative Journey Through Nature's Cycles
In 2025 our Lunar Alchemy circle will begin SACRED TURNING: A CREATIVE JOURNEY THROUGH NATURE’S CYCLES - a year-long exploration of sacred rhythms and creative expression. If you need a nourishing space where you can slow down, get deeply connected to Nature and yourself, explore ancient wisdom, become more intimate with your own creative fires, and honor the cycles of light and dark with a really cool and authentic group of women, welcome!
WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE
Throughout the year, we will explore the eight Sabbats (festivals) of the wheel—Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lughnasadh, Mabon, Samhain, and Yule—celebrating the changing seasons and what they symbolize: rebirth, balance, abundance, transformation, and more. The other 4 months – February, May, August, and November – we'll focus on the Elements and how we may integrate their wisdom into our sacred rhythms of life. This exploration in Circle with other amazing women offers a nurturing space to connect with yourself, others, and Nature’s cycles in a deeply personal and creative way.
CREATIVE PRACTICES FOR REFLECTION AND GROWTH
Each month, we will begin with a discussion on the Sabbat or Element of focus. You’ll engage in meditation and art practices designed to reflect the themes and energies of the Sabbat. Through collage, watercolor, abstract mark-making, and other simple techniques, we’ll create art that aligns with the season’s focus—whether it’s embracing new beginnings at Imbolc or honoring deep and lasting transformation during Samhain. These practices are not about artistic perfection or any one way of living life, but about using art as a form of reflection and personal expression, and embracing a new or renewed understanding of soul and spirit, allowing you to connect deeply with your own inner landscape.

WHO IS THIS FOR?
SACRED TURNING is designed for women interested in the sacred cycles of life, who have creative courage and an open heart. If you enjoy expressing yourself in a variety of ways and are curious about how the cycles of nature can support your personal growth, this is for you. Whether you’ve dabbled in painting or simply love creative experimentation, these practices will guide you to explore your own creativity in new and meaningful ways.

What Current Alchemists Say:
Val
Lunar Alchemy was a delightful experience, providing a place to gain and share my insights. This happened due to Laura's skill in creating a safe and caring environment, filled with her knowledge and enthusiasm and contagious creativity. I loved learning about the moon and myself and others with this synergistic group.
Rhonda
Excellent course presented by Laura Waters. She takes the time to listen, encourages questions, goes above and beyond to followup, creates a safe place to learn. I feel I am heard and I am able to apply the moonlight in my daily life. She is a gifted teacher.
Bianca
You've created something real special here. I haven't felt this grounded in a long time, and the empowerment is transforming the way I live my life! Trusting my own intuition again is an incredible gift.
