Healing The Spirit: Astrology, Archetypes & Artmaking 62. Contemplating Deep Listening & The 2023 Virgo Full Moon with Zaneta Sykes
What can Virgo energy teach us about deep listening? How can Pisces balance Virgo's energies? How can we incorporate the energy of Virgo and Pisces into ritual during the Full Moon?
Join me for this lively impromptu conversation with my dear friend, Zaneta Sykes. We originally recorded this conversation for Instagram Live (you can watch the video version here). I ended up really loving the transmissions that came through so I decided to share this with all of you here, too.
We discussed what Zaneta's Virgo Moon has taught them about artmaking and relationality through the practice of deep listening, how we can cultivate the energy of Virgo to its most expansive and life-giving expression, and also some ritual ideas for today's Virgo Full Moon.
You can also listen to my conversation with Zaneta on Healing The Spirit: Listening To The Web of Life on Healing.
If you live in the New York area, I invite to check out Zaneta's upcoming sound journey event on March 10, 2023, Where Land Meets Sky.
Where Land Meets Sky is a somatic-sound journey of the elements, exploring the body’s connection to water, fire, thunder, ice, wind, and seismic forces through listening.
Participants will be guided through an immersive, listening experience, mapping the subtle sounds of the elements in the body. After listening, participants will co-create an original sound piece which will serve as a sonic offering to the forest, that will later be played back to every river, stream, ridge, cave, and tree that shared their songs. So that the entire project is a full circle, reciprocal exchange of listening and transmission between community and forest.
