SUMMARY:{IN PERSON} CICADA MAGIC
DESCRIPTION:Please read class description in its entirety. This for is for IN PERSON registration only. \nTICKETS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE. \nClass fees are non transferable\, please note that we stick to the student agreements clicked on during registration. Please ensure you are able to attend the scheduled class time. \n  \nPrepare yourself for a journey to the Underworld\, the Chthonic Realm\, through the lens of a beautiful and mysterious invertebrate. Cicadas are both relatable and sometimes agitating with their eternal screaming into the aether. But why do they do this? And how often do they emerge from their long slumber underground? How does their life cycle work and why should we observe it? \nWe will answer many of the biological and behavioral questions about this creature as well as discussing the mythology and spiritual nature of these beautiful insects. Spring\, as we emerge into the warmer portion of the year\, is a perfect time to discuss cicadas. You will learn about how to build a connection with cicadas as related to the Eleusinian Mysteries and the myth of Persephone and Demeter. How is the cycle of life and death related to your own spiritual journey and the natural cycle of the biology that persists around us despite all odds? We will also discuss their messages of protection\, perseverance\, intuition\, independence\, and even music. \nThis is a class for learning about rebirth\, fortitude\, adaptability\, and the underworld through both a biological and spiritual lens. This class is a mix of lecture and hands-on demonstration. You will learn how to relax\, spread\, and pin your own cicada specimen which you will take home with you. We will also provide visual examples and brief explanations of how to keep your specimen at home for display. \nSupplies Included:\n-Sustainably sourced cicada specimen\n-Pinning board and pins\n-Educational materials and inspiration/ideas for how to display your specimen \n  \nJess is a Denver-based artist who creates small sculptures and jewelry using elements of nature.\nJess creates imaginative miniature worlds honoring elements of nature and science. These sculptures contain magic in the form of preserved insects\, bones\, stones\, moss\, and plants. Inspired by the natural curiosity assemblages of the Victorian Naturalists and the Wildlife Halls of modern science museums\, Jess hopes to inspire wonder\, curiosity\, and understanding for our natural world. Each piece she creates is a reminder of the beauty that lies in death and its importance in the cycle of life.\nJess teaches classes that stitch together magic\, art\, and science with an aim to inspire her students to to approach the world\, and their practice\, with endless curiosity. \nAlessandra\, owner of Oracle Natural Science is an Entomologist Enthusiast\, and Bone Memorialist\, winning 2019 Worlds Taxidermy Championships for skeletal articulations. She teaches our Entomology Classes along with being the host of Oracle’s Bug Club and more. Alessandra grew her fascination of insects and natural sciences as a child\, walking down to the Insectarium and Olympic gardens of Montreal\, Canada which their inspirations can be seen in all aspects of her work. While she spends her days at Oracle\, the rest of her time is split between working as an Artist Assistant at Staab Studios\, Pet Memorialist\, and as hobbyist arachnologists.

SUMMARY:{IN PERSON} THE MAGIC OF SPIDERS
DESCRIPTION:Please read class description in its entirety. This for is for IN PERSON registration only. \nTICKETS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE. \nClass fees are non transferable\, please note that we stick to the student agreements clicked on during registration. Please ensure you are able to attend the scheduled class time. \nSpiders have long inspired fear or repulsion\, most of which is the result of widespread misinformation and misunderstanding. In truth\, spiders are a beautiful and integral part of our ecosystem. They also have a deep and complex mythological history. Learning more about their behavior\, life cycles\, and ecological impact can help us learn about our own place in this world and how to weave their energetic messages into our daily lives. \nJoin two passionate arachnid enthusiasts (Alessandra Dzuba of Oracle Natural Science\, and Jess Ellis of Atropos Curios) for an evening of Spider Magic. This class will include a short lecture and a hands-on tutorial\, all supplies will be provided. \nWe will discuss the biology and ecology of spiders\, as well as their spiritual symbolism and what we can learn from them energetically. We will dispel many of the misguided “facts” about spiders and help to foster a more empathetic view of how they affect our lives. Prepare for a brief crash course in both arachnology and spider mythology which will have you relating to these beautiful creatures in an entirely new way. \nYou will be instructed on how to properly relax and position a beautiful and sustainably sourced Orb Weaver Spider. Once your specimen is positioned and ready for drying\, you will be given a few examples of how to display your specimen for posterity. \nSome experience working with insect specimens is helpful\, but not required. You will be guided along the process and will go home with new knowledge of how to honor the lives of these animals by preserving them in death. \nSupplies Included: \n-Sustainably sourced Orb Weaver specimen\n-Pinning board and pins\n-Educational materials and inspiration/ideas for how to display your specimen \nJess is a Denver-based artist who creates small sculptures and jewelry using elements of nature.\nJess creates imaginative miniature worlds honoring elements of nature and science.
