artistic somatic ceremonial workshop with Joanna Brook

Every 18 months the planet Venus, one of the most recognizable lights in the morning or evening sky, disappears for 40 days.

Next occurrence: March 1 - April 12, 2025.

This is the time of the Labyrinth Ceremony, channeled by Connie Bender, Grandmother Indigo Jewel.

In this ceremonial workshop, Joanna passes on the wisdom of working with Venus as she departs into the Underworld to effectively reclaim your soul’s intentions. The Goddess Venus - also known as Ishtar, Astarte, Mare, The Queen of Heaven, Aphrodite, Freya, The Morning and Evening Star - leads us into the underworld to reflect and set conscious intentions for release and reclamation. Joanna traveled this path 9 times with the beloved teacher Grandmother Indigo Jewel and now leads the way for others with her blessing.

Venus retrograde is an excellent cosmic moment to gain perspective on your values and commitments. Current commitments, both personal and professional, may go through a process of spontaneous re-evaluation. You may notice your boundaries being tested in ways that you were oblivious to before. This is not a time of quick action. It is a time to absorb and reflect on your values and decide what to do about improving your relationship with your values when Venus returns from the underworld - goes direct.

The cycles of Venus have been known from times of old. Myths have been written. Take this opportunity to explore your own. During the Venus Retrograde we all spend 40 days in the underworld. We can come out on the other side transformed. Join with Brightheart Alchemy Guides on this inner-world path.
