I'm holding a workshop on Sunday 07 December, bouncing off the deep significance of given names to explore, express and gain insight into family history, dynamics and maybe, secrets. There'll be some discussion, and some painting the morning, and then some reflection, and a constellation circle for 2-4 constellations, arising. See my last substack piece at sole.substack.com GetConstellated
