 A Semester of intuitvely crafted study 

 taught in a Circle that recognizes each  participant as a teacher & holder of  wisdom. 

Lunar Semester is a labor of calling up ancient wisdom & personal human experience and pouring it forth into a collective container of growth, compassion, and knowledge. 

Our grandmothers as case studies, it is mythic women & peoples as models, it is the language of astrology, art, and energy. 

It is an invitation to break down what has been systematically taught & inherited and to rebuild & reforge so that we may feel aligned with our own truths instead of conforming to a patriarchal one. 

It’s about waking up, questioning, taking up space, and giving voice to your experiences, your feelings, your ancestors, your wisdoms. 

"CREATIVITY, MOTHER OF CHAOS…”

2024 Lunar Semester invites you to invoke the “muse”. In our culture we have a fascinating concept around creativity and artistry; we view it as an illusive talent that few possess. But it is in EVERYTHING we do. From cooking a meal, to writing, to deciding what to wear, or positioning furniture in our homes. To live is to create. So, what happens when we embrace CREATION? What happens when we trust in co-creation? What happens when we tap into ourselves as creator beings? Our life refreshes. We become more open. We embrace boldness which activates inner strength and faith and possibilities. Wrong turns no longer exist because everything has value and vision. Tapping into creative energy builds infrastructure between the disjointed places inside of us. So I hope you will join us for a semester of creative prompts, thinking outside the box, juicy conversation, and tapping into your creative chaos.  

“Every act of creation

is first an act of

destruction”

-PICASSO

If you consider yourself creative this is for you. If you consider yourself creativity constipated, this is most definitely for you. 

Creation isn’t a solo process. When you acknowledge you’re in partnership with an experience, emotion, or force you surrender control and step into co-creation; a process that erases expectations and invokes creation instead of production. You’re not on this planet to produce. You’re here to create.

Class One: Invoking the Muse |  9/29/24

Our introductory class into the semester where we will meet the Muses, chat creativity, and set the intention of not taking ourselves too seriously with the guidance of the muse of humor, Thalia.

Class Two: Peering into the Past | Breaking open Chaos | 10/6/24

Inspired by the muse of history, Clio, we will discuss the potential of personal experience & history to generate creativity; aka break open our creative chaos.  This will begin our conversation into looking at our life as a “body of work” or “story”, we will carry this concept through the rest of the semester. 

 

 

Class Three: Poetic Justice | 10/13/24

The Muse of Tragedy, Melpomene invites us to turn towards tragedy instead of turning cheek and bypassing it. This is about honoring depth and using creativity as a healing balm and translator.

Class Four: Music, a Memoir | 10/20/24

In this class we will invoke, Euterpe, the muse of music and explore music as a mirror, prompt, environment, and messenger. 

 

Class Five: Erotica | Banishing Shame and Playing with Pleasure | 10/27/24

Erato, muse of love and sensuality invites us to challenge the dilapidated idea that pleasure is sin and sensuality is taboo. Shame and guilt kill creative flow; cauterizing us from knowing experiencing ourselves more fully. 

 

Class Six: Hips Don’t Lie | 11/10/24

Welcoming the body as a channel. Terpsichore, Muse of Dance opens us up to the body and creates infrastructure between body and soul inviting the judgement of the mind to quiet. We will be welcoming as guest teacher, Paula Nixa, who will speak to us on belly dancing. 

 

Class Seven: I Am the Whole Sky | 11/17/24

Urania, Muse of Astronomy & Astrology, invites us to take to the sky of our natal chart where we will discuss placements in the chart where we can find doors to tap into our creative self. 

 

Class Eight: Created to Create | 11/24/24

When you take time with truth you create story. Calliope, muse of epics & storytelling, invites us to take creative license over life and find connection in story.  

 

Class Nine: Embodiment as Devotion | 12/1/24

Polymnia, muse of devotions, brings our attention to living more intentionally. This class will have guest instructor, Crystal Moore; she will lead us in a yin yoga practice. 

 

Class Ten: Closing Class 12/8/24

Recap, Gratitude, and Circle. 

*Classes are approximately 1.5 hours with time for questions and discussion after.

*Classes with guests may be around two hours.

"Lunar semester is both a deep dive and being gently held into new frontiers and ancient wisdoms as one journeys through this beautifully curated container. There are always options to pace oneself and wade as shallow or dive as deep as one desires. Katlyn creates dynamic invitations for anyway you may best engage with yourself or new material. One of the things I love about Katlyn and the spaces she creates is that she truly honors and creates space for the wisdom of all and each person's sovereignty. If you're curious AT ALL, jump on in, or toe tip in, the water is fine 💞"
