Protection Magic with Suzanne and Urania
Protection Magic with Suzanne & Urania
Wednesdays, Jan 8 to Jan 29, 2025
In fairytales one draws a circle of chalk or salt for protection. It might be a way to scare some people off. In the fairytales the devil cannot step into the circle. All the better if the drawer is pure of heart.
In this class we will explore ways we can protect and further develop our will in doing so. We will work with physical boundaries, stones and charms, herbs, salt and water, amulets, sigils, and symbols.
We will explore how to cleanse and protect our bodies and physical spaces such as the home, workplace and magical spaces. We will learn how to use protection spells for travel, legal battles, to block stalkers and also how to use protection spells for larger workings in the world.
Most importantly, we will do the deep inner work to develop the will needed to craft strong and necessary protection magic for our lives and these times. We look forward to dropping into the ancient wisdoms with you.

Ritual Music with Tarin and Suzanne
Ritual Music 2.0
This is a next step class for those who attended Ritual Music 1.0 as we’ll take deeper dives into designing rituals and collaborating on trances and other soundscapes, as well as brushing up on specific and relevant supportive skills of voice and body, drum and percussion.
One way we move between the worlds is with sound: Joyful, somber, cathartic, reflective, silent. In Reclaiming rituals, we sense and move energy with song and rhythm, induce and dive into trance using sonic techniques, hold the container with tone and breath, and raise power by chanting and drumming.
Some of the magician’s tools and the musician's tools are the same: The body, the voice, will and intuition. We will make these manifest using drums and other percussion, as well as other tricks from our witch’s toolbox: voice work, writing, trancing, divination, and deep witness.
We will learn ways to sculpt the magic scape with sound as well as how to listen and support the energy and intention of ritual with song and music. We will explore different chants for different ritual purposes and dive into the well of creativity to create our own chants.
If you have been called to play in the sonic realms of ritual, join us as we dive into the joy of musical magic!
Prerequisites: Ritual Music 1.0 or relevant experience….please contact us to discuss at tarintowers@mac.comhttps://forms.gle/f8g2ZNLjLP7ysvev6https://forms.gle/f8g2ZNLjLP7ysvev6

Sacred Waters Costa Rica
Sacred Waters Costa Rica 2025
Imagine this: gathering on sacred land, nestled between the forest and ocean, surrounded by a vibrant community ready to step into a new freedom. Together, we’ll transform old stories into strengths through powerful practices and rituals that connect you to your most joyful, creative self. We’ll dive deep into sacred waters, shapeshift with the energy of fire, and sing songs of remembrance.
In 2024, we held our first Sacred Waters Immersion in Bali, where we cleansed, sang, moved, and offered prayers to the sacred rivers and springs. In that holy land, something shifted within us—we not only understood but deeply felt the power of the waters. We made a collective commitment to honor the waters in our own homes and across the world. We vowed to continue learning and teaching the sacred ways of water, offering ourselves as stewards of this precious element.
Now, we invite you to join us on the lands of Chorotega people in Costa Rica. This 7-day journey, will have us cleanse, dance, sing, and tap into our deepest creativity. Together, we’ll co-create rituals of healing and joy, embodying the forces of flow and flame to awaken our self-expression. We’ll rest deeply, and support local projects that protect the waters and her creatures.
This experience is for healers, creatives, and activists ready to share their magic with the world. You’ll leave with clarity, inspiration, and a liberated spirit that continues to grow long after you return home.

Sanctuary 11 week online wisdom circle
SANCTUARY with Suzanne Sterling
BUILDING THE TEMPLE
11 Weeks of Guided Meditations, Song and Sacred Silence…together.
Tuesdays Nov 12, 19, 26 , Dec 3, 10, 17, Jan 7, 14, 21, 28 and Feb 4
5:30 - 7:00PM (Pacific Time)
“the times are urgent; let us slow down.” Bayo Akomolafe
Our first Sanctuary in 2023 was an incredible gathering of folks diving into self inquiry, meditation practice and deep listening to the wisdom within. We witnessed each other; writers, artists, teachers, parents and leaders as we lay down the burden of always being “on” and allowed ourselves to be held in community.
In this latest offering we will be building the Inner Temple where we can practice holding our own center amidst the storms of life and cultivating embodied ease and healing. In Sanctuary, grief, fear and sorrow become the doorway into our soul work, while joy, connection and simplicity bring us to center. We go into the inner realms to create safe haven for our nervous systems, bodies, hearts and minds and we amplify the power of each others experience.
We will, once again, write, sing and be in silence together remembering the way that collective singing and pristine silence bathes us in connection. Our healing practices will include soul cleansing, loving our shadow, embracing boundaries, cultivating joyful practices and enhancing our connection to the web of life.
Each session will include:
checkin questions and deep self inquiry
guided meditations
sacred songs
journaling and deep listening
rituals of connection
This will be a time and place for you to show up AS YOU ARE and to drop the mundane concerns and tap into your own mystical being and spiritual practices. We will cultivate courage, acceptance, gratitude and ignite the inner fires that keep us going in difficult times. Join the community of Spirit!
