Events for August 2023

Celebrate the first harvest with TMI! Our ancestors celebrated life together with the rhythms of each season. Many of these celebrations were interwoven and connected to nature and Earth’s natural cycles. Lughnasadh or Lammas Day is one of those celebrations, and known as the first Harvest. Today, we celebrate Lughnasadh as a way of honoring nature’s incredible fertile energy at harvest time, and as a way to connect with our natural world on a deeper, more meaningful level. Because by recognizing and celebrating the little shifts in Earth’s natural rhythms, we can become more attuned to nature and feel more grounded in our everyday lives. Feel free to bring a small dish to share afterwards.

An elemental witch is one who works with one specific element or all of the elements in order to manifest their desired results. Each element holds power and wisdom over a specific part of nature, which is why as witches we may call on all the elements when we want to perform ritual or create a spell. This series will aid you in beginning your journey, or serve as a refresher, through the pentacle path by focusing on one of the five elements in a non-denominational setting. This particular class will begin the circle by focusing on the Water element. Do you think you’re an Fire elemental witch? Are you drawn to this element more than the others? Let’s find out together! We will discuss what the element of Fire rules over, correspondences such as deities, herbs, and crystals, how to connect with the element by examples of spells and activities, and then we will join in a brief meditation to begin your journey with the element of FIRE! Some handouts will be provided but we strongly encourage you to bring a notebook dedicated to your pentacle path journey. TMI welcomes Ambrosia Lucifera RM CCH, who has been a practicing […]

All living beings are made of and emit energy, an aura, that can be seen, felt, and read to gain a better understanding of that being. During this workshop, you will learn how the energetic system works and how to see, feel and read the aura. You will learn through discussion and practical exercises. Come to this workshop prepared to ask questions and participate in the exercises with the group. Bring with you an open mind and a desire to have fun with the process. See you there!

So, what exactly is Reiki? Reiki is the universal (REI) life force energy (KI) that flows thru, in and around the universe and all of creation. It is the non-physical energy that maintains the physical body and is able to heal the body, mind and spirit on all levels. Reiki has a very specific vibration, and to use it, one must receive training and an attunement from a Reiki master/teacher. Although there are many different systems of Reiki, they are the same as much as they are different. Reiki will always follow the intent to heal - it can do no harm. It knows where the healing is needed and will flow to that area without any added intent from the practitioner. A Reiki treatment will restore balance, harmony, energy, reduce stress and anxiety, balance the energy centers of the body, and cleanse the aura - the benefits are endless - and it is my pleasure to be able to offer this class and put new healers into the world! Level one is taught for those who wish to be attuned to the flow for self healing and to heal others on a physical level. Usui Healing System uses 2 […]
