Goddess Workshops and Offerings
- Guided Meditation
Discover a guide/ ally with whom you can look to for support and guidance in our time together and when you return home. - New and Full Moon work
Learn how to work with the Moon for healing and manifestation. - Inner Triplicity
In our time together, we will explore the Greek triple goddess, Hekate. Often depicted with three faces, we will uncover how all three of her manifestations live within us simultaneously and how you can access your inner triplicity for well-being and external manifestation. - Cathartic Creativity
We will be doing various creative activities throughout the week to help you access your unconscious process and what comes up for you. - Soul’s Work
Through guided imagery and meditation, we will explore archetypal imagery that can help you manifest your deep and even unconscious desires. - Pendulum Work
Whether looking for answers about your own life or ways to best support people with whom you work, particularly for those of us in the lightworker fields, pendulums can be a fantastic way to get a quick answer to next steps. Learning how to use a pendulum without influencing its swing can help you make decisions for which you have confusion and or uncertainty. - What do you want?
On Friday, we will be working with the archetype of Venus. The word Friday originates from the Nordic goddess Freya — Freya’s Day. As a result, Fridays are fantastic times to honor the goddess and ask her to provide us with things in association with what she represents – such as beauty, love, and passion.

Laura Tadd
PhD- Psychological Astrologer
As a spiritually oriented, psychological astrologer, Dr. Laura Tadd loves supporting people as they learn to live an authentic life, recognizing their resiliency, power, and sovereignty. Having been exposed to numerous counseling modalities, Laura has found an astrological worldview to be a uniquely effective and astute methodology.
With compassion and humor, Laura provides insight and tools to help her clients be active participants in their healing and actualize their potential. Rather than focus on prediction, Laura’s work emphasizes healing and personal growth.
Astrology has been a part of Laura’s life since infancy. So much so her astrology chart hung above her crib. Yet, despite this early exposure, it was not until her mid 20’s her passion for astrology took hold. While attending Antioch University, Santa Barbara, she joined a women’s group that looked to astrology to aid its members in understanding their lives’ ups and downs. Attending these weekly gatherings proved to be a fortuitous decision, as she spent the next 18-months doing a deep dive into astrology.
After earning a certificate in Psychological Astrology as a Professional Astrologer from Astrological Counseling Seminars (ACS), Laura began working as a consulting astrologer. As her astrological work developed, it became evident she needed to return to graduate school to broaden and deepen her work. Exploring the lived experiences of astrologers in the 21st century, she received a PhD in Human Science from Saybrook University in 2014.
Today Laura works as an astrological counselor, teacher, and lecturer both in-person and remotely.
