Come and make your own handcrafted cedar tarot box and relax in a sound healing too!
You’re invited to join Gemma & Julie in a sacred afternoon of woodworking and sound healing immersion.
This workshop is an invitation to reconnect with your creativity and ground into presence in community with like-minded souls.
You’ll have the option to make one of two box sizes:
• A standard box to fit the original Rider–Waite tarot deck
• A smaller box for jewellery, crystals, or small sacred items
Each person will have their own workstation with all tools and materials supplied. Gemma will guide you step-by-step through gluing, nailing, sanding, oiling, and fixing hardware onto your box. A selection of hinges and latches will be available to make your piece uniquely yours.
In ancient Indigenous traditions, cedar is known for its properties of purification, protection, healing, and strength. As a sacred timber, it is understood to buffer negative influence, invite clarity, and create a grounded environment for spiritual development.
The afternoon will begin with a grounding sound-healing meditation guided by Julie, using Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls, 528hz Energy Chime Bar, Chakra Chime & Bells for deep relaxation and restoration - helping you arrive in your body, settle into the space, and open to creative flow. You will also be guided through a gentle initiation to set an intention into your box as you build - anchoring the journey ahead for your spiritual messages.
From there, we will move into the cedar-box crafting journey, working slowly and intentionally as we shape, assemble, and piece together the timber. The workshop will close with a sharing circle and snacks to seal your creation and honour the spirit of the trees.
Weather permitting, we will be outdoors with comfortable cushions and mats. Or indoors in a cosy setting.
This workshop is completely beginner friendly, with no experience needed.
