For the sixth event in their speaker series, CAARDI: Counter Anti-Asian Racism Digital Initiative, Centre A is pleased to host Charm Torres for “Embodying Your Moon for Ancestral Sustenance.”
Join Charm Torres for an afternoon of exploring the Moon from your birth and the inherent webs of ancestral connection reflected in your birth chart. Your Moon is so much more than your emotional self. Your astrological birth chart is not just about you, but it is also about multilayered stories, people and places that surround your life. We will learn about your Moon with the intention of supporting your ancestral rituals and practices. Embodying and connecting with your Moon can help you navigate your desire for belonging. You’ll come away with practical and creative ideas to nourish your need for ancestral sustenance.
Disclaimer: You don’t have to know much about astrology to attend. However, it can be helpful to have a basic understanding of your birth chart. Bring your open heart, curious mind and writing tools as we will do some writing-oriented exercises to support your learning.
The event will take place over Zoom. Advance sign-up is necessary, and is available below; audio transcripts will be available upon request.
Date: July 14, 2023
Time: 1 – 3 PM PDT
Location: Zoom
