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.

In person dates: March 6, March 20, and April 17, 2025, 7:00 pm.

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

In this ceremonial workshop, Joanna passes on to you 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 Eugene’s beloved pagan and feminine mysteries teacher Grandmother Indigo Jewel. Joanna now leads the way for you with Connie’s 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 unaware of before. This is a time to absorb information, reflect on your values, and decide what to do. You will make strides in improving your relationship with yourself, others, and your values.

The cycles of Venus have been known from times of old. Myths have been written. Take this opportunity to create your own personal vows. These can become a powerful self-love practice. During the Venus Retrograde we all spend 40 days in the underworld. Through this ritual we can come out on the other side transformed.
