Pocket Altar Workshop By Serian Strauss

SEPTEMBER 14, 2025 1-4PM

Working with Altars is a practice that can be very supportive, especially in times when you may feel untethered. Altars can help reconnect and anchor a person back to their sense of self, offer protection, as well as provide a direct line to Spirit. Altars don’t have to be grand spaces, they can literally fit into your pocket! Being able to travel with an altar can offer many gifts: the gift of protection, connection with ancestors, a specific energetic quality, working with inner children, amplify what you desire…the list is endless. SLIDING SCALE $45-$108
