Learn about the history of altars from a multi cultural spiritual perspective & practical ways to create your own sacred space!
Altars have been used for thousands of years to connect humans to the spiritual realms. Outside of religion, altars have very well been apart of how we commune with death, the earth, and our own cultural understandings of life itself.
This workshop covers a brief history of altars and how they informed different cultures along the timeline of human evolution. How the church specifically capitalized on this spiritual practice for profit. And shares practical steps to re-integrate, re-discover, re-inform your own altar building practice from a de-colonial perspective.
I'll be sharing from my own archive ways in which you can create a very simple to very elaborate sacred space WHEREVER you're at for the purpose of connecting your intention to the land you are on, the energetic realms, and beyond.
