Celebrate Earth Day at Sheep Pasture!
 
We'll be conducting a BioBlitz to celebrate and acknowledge the incredible abundance of life around us! In a BioBlitz, participants try to find and identify as many different plant, animal, and fungi species as possible, documenting as much life as they can. We'll be using the iNaturalist app to help us identify and record whatever we find.
 
Don’t worry if you’re not too sure of your identification skills – we’ll all be learning and collaborating together. Field guides, binoculars, and other tools will be available for use during the program, or feel free to bring your own! 
This adults-only program is a great opportunity to experience the natural world in a new way, learn and share knowledge with others, and meet people who love the outdoors as much as you do!

<h4>Learn About Your Place Among the Stars</h4>
 Astrology is an ancient art that studies the movements and positions of stars and planets, the aspects between them and the relationships they form. Knowing these relationships enables us to interpret the tendencies, strengths and weaknesses of a particular person or event. 
The more we understand ourselves the more we can tap into our own hidden talents. 

We can use this information to help actualize our dreams, for guidance and healing, or to avoid or overcome obstacles more easily once we know where to find these challenges. To better tap into our unique energetic patterns and put it to its best use, we need to know where to locate it. The snapshot of the sky at the time of our birth is called a natal chart, and it is unique to each of us. In this class you will learn about the signs, the planets that rule them and the houses they occupy, as well as the aspects between these planets and how to interpret their meanings.

Join me in this fun adventure of unfolding the many layers that help make you, you! This program meets one Saturday a month for 8 months from 11am-4pm.
About&nbsp;Megan, your instructor...
 Megan Alllaire is an Astrologer, Medium and Healer who began her journey into astrology as a curious teenager and skeptic. As a Scorpio sun who enjoyed being mysterious and difficult to understand, she was taken aback when she read her first astrology book which seemed to know many of her secrets, hidden fears and deepest feelings. This started her journey into exploring the wisdom of the cosmos and decoding the planets, signs and houses.

Today she practices both modern and traditional astrology emphasizing how to use this knowledge to gain a deeper understanding of the self. Megan has a practical approach that will guide and teach you how to interpret the planetary energies, revealing personality traits and the many different facets of your life, so that you can more easily take advantage of your unique gifts and natural talents. Come along on this journey and discover what makes you tick!
