Connecting planets with plants, this workshop connects constellations, teaching herbalism in terms of the stars! For those interested in astrology and the organic plant world and healing the mind and body with both.
Did you know that every planet has a unique day, plants, parts of the body, and parts of life that it rules?! And even more so, did you know you can incorporate this knowledge – these planets – to sculpt, build and enhance your business in a magical, intuitive and empowered way? This class will offer basics of three planets – the Moon, Mercury, and Saturn – what day of the week they rule, plants associated, and how to work with these energies to make your business flow in ways unimagined. This class will be an introduction to Sophia’s new online course, Planetary Prescriptions, a 9-piece digital offering that offers in depth information around working with planets + habits to build your best life.
