The Sky meets the Earth (#3 Full Moon in Taurus)
The Sky meets the Earth
FIRE, EARTH, WATER & AIR
November 10th / 2-6pm
After the success of our first collaborations we are delighted to invite you to Kana x Astrology for
Artists third workshop The Sky meets the Earth: FIRE, EARTH, WATER & AIR. An
experimental collaboration where we’ll combine our creative and spiritual practices and create
an inspiring experience for a deeper understanding of ourselves. We’ll work with the four
elements in our astrological charts and, simultaneously, we’ll work with clay.
Clay, too often regarded as the most mundane substances, truly contains the whole of life: Fire,
Earth, Water and Air. We’ll explore the links between the four elements in your personal chart
and the ways in which we express, act, think, feel but – most importantly – the ways we search,
get inspired, create work and live life by working with clay.
We chose nothing less than the Full Moon in Taurus for this workshop as we want to gather and
experience the energy of this sensorial, grounded and feminine Moon. The Moon is exalted in
Taurus and it invites us to explore all our senses and our connection with the Earthly rhythms of
life in addition to our inner world. The Moon cycle is about change and renewal and on this full
Moon we open our hearts to receive guidance and consciously choose to connect with our
bodies and our aliveness through our hands and our cosmic connection.
On this full Moon we have an opportunity to balance the energies of Scorpio and Taurus by
helping find an anchor in our emotional tides. The Moon loves being in Taurus. Taurus soothes,
builds, slow down, enjoy, eats, naps, stays calm and carries on. Taurus is the Earth. Join us!
CLAY WORK / During this two layered workshop we will combine Ana’s work with clay and
Madeleine’s work with the sky while making ceramic vessels and connecting with your sense of
touch. We will work with clay as a tool to observe our surfacing of emotions, characteristics of
our being and challenges of our personality. It is a perfect reflection of our sense of who we are
right now. Recognising those feelings and emotions, we learn and we meet ourselves. It's a
mirror that is so soft that it makes you softer too. It allows you to embrace, it allows you to
observe yourself and embrace again. And most importantly it allow us to apply the change, and
it teaches us how to change. You can slowly confront your challenges, you can stop and start
again. And clay as a forgiving, soft, smooth material will kindly allow you to become who you
want to be a little more or a little less.
First Hour
SKY Madeleine will explain the four elements from an astrological perspective, how our search
for balance is often related to the lack or abundance of one or more elements in our chart, and
how actively adding the missing ingredient can bring us peace, calm and balance.
EARTH We will use hand building technique for the first hour of our workshop, to reset, recenter
and arrive. During the process of making ceramic vessels you will be ask to observe your
palette of emotions, your thoughts and feelings, and write them down as we work. You will
create few pieces of work which will be important guidance for the rest of the workshop.
Second Hour
FIRE + EARTH + WATER + AIR
We will look at your personal charts and how your experience with clay is reflected with the
personal amount of Fire, Earth, Water and Air there is in your chart. We will look at what you’ve
written and reflected and see how this connects, translates through your work and your
experience of yourself and your work.
Third Hour
With Madeleine’s guidance and tips based on your personal chart we will approach clay one
more time to create a more mindful piece, made with awareness, gratitude, self observance, self
acceptance, forgiveness, love, softness.
Final Hour
Rituals are a way to mark turning points in our lives. The lunar cycle gives you many chances to
enact rituals that symbolically welcome changes in your life. We will delve into the full Moon in
Taurus, create a ritual together to align ourselves with our senses and embrace all the
knowledge and experience from the workshop to release what is not speaking to us any longer.
