🫶 Queen of Cups: A Journaling Workshop (link to join inside)

We'll also do some dream work on this call, so bring a recent dream you'd like to explore 😴

Hi friends,

It’s nearly time for our next Cycle Journaling Circle together — our final one for 2024.

This time, we’re meeting the Queen of Cups.

Where the Queen of Wands ignites our creativity and the Queen of Pentacles roots us in stability, the intuitive Queen of Cups takes us deep into our subconscious and the feeling body.

She’s the emotionally intelligent Queen who reminds us that there’s power in vulnerability — and that we’re all probably a little bit (or a lot!) psychic.

Whether we’re navigating grief, seeking emotional release, or craving quiet introspection, she holds space for it all. I love this description of the Queen of Cups in the This Might Hurt tarot:

The Queen of Cups is very much like the High Priestess, except for the defining difference that the Queen of Cups is interested in other people. She believes that life is to be enjoyed and that joy comes from relationships and experiences.

She’s the friend you can sit with for hours over cups of tea, musing about the world, going deep on all of the topics that matter most.

She’s the witchy part of us who *just knows* what’s going to happen next.

She’s the archetype that reminds us to trust ourselves and to value time spent connecting with our inner world through practices like journaling, meditation and dream work.

From The Rider-Waite Tarot, Light Seers Tarot and This Might Hurt,

Join us on Monday, 16th December at 7pm GMT for a special Solstice call as the Queen of Cups helps us explore the waters of our inner lives.

We’ll reflect on the past six weeks, explore where this Queen resides in your menstrual cycle, and play with prompts to deepen your connection to yourself and others.

Plus, we’ll do some DREAM WORK. How can connecting to our nightly dreams support our connection to the Feminine? How do our dreams fluctuate across the menstrual cycle? And what important messages do they hold for us?

👑 What you need to know:

👛 How much: Free for all paid members of The Periodical

🗓️ When: Monday, 16th December, 7:00pm - 8:30pm GMT

✨ Where: Zoom — link to join at the bottom of this email.

✨ What to expect:

This is a space for you to exhale and reflect. It’s a space to connect with your womb and your cycle, the seasons, and yourself. It’s a space to bring your weird and wonderful self where all is welcome.

This specific session draws inspiration from a figure in the tarot. The way I use tarot cards is less about divination and more about an archetypal creative tool or mirror for self-reflection.

✨ What to bring:

I'll provide the prompts, playlists and rituals. You bring an open mind, an open heart, and your journal. Consider setting up a lush space for yourself with candles, snacks, nice smells, etc. The session will be crafted for folks in both hemispheres and the appropriate energetics for you.

💭 As we’ll be doing some dream work, please bring a recent dream you’ve had, noting which day of your menstrual cycle you had the dream if possible.

💘 Looking ahead to 2025:

I’m currently in planning mode for next year and excited to organise dates for upcoming calls and classes. I’m making a few exciting changes:

• Cycle Journaling Circles will now take place on the first Friday of each month*, from March 2025 onwards. Venus is said to infuse Fridays with her energy, encouraging love, beauty, creativity, and social connection, which is perfect for these classes. While we’ll still tune into the seasonal shifts throughout the year, I’m hopeful that a regular monthly schedule will make it easier for you to attend.

• Class times will alternate monthly on an A/B basis to accommodate a global audience. Call A will be at 11am AEDT, and Call B will be at 7pm AEDT. There is still only one call per month but the time will alternate. I’ll reassess how this is going mid-year.

• Starting in March, the class time will be reduced to 60 minutes (February's call will still be 90 minutes).

• Our focus remains: journaling, discussions, learning, and sharing on all things cyclical, beautiful, rich, creative — the pleasure and adventure of being alive in a female body.

*I’ll be in the Southern Hemisphere for most of next year, so Friday for me will be Thursday evening for North Americans 😇

Upcoming class dates:

💘 Monday, 16th December: 7pm - 8:30pm GMT

💘 Sunday, 2nd February: 2pm - 3:30pm GMT

💘 Friday, 7th March: 11am - 12pm AEDT

💘 Friday, 4th April: 7pm - 8pm AEDT

💘 Friday, 2nd May: 11am- 12pm AEST

💘 Friday, 6th June: 7pm - 8pm AEST

I’m so looking forward to these moments of connection.

Big love,
