Astrology Workshop:

Disrupting Matters of the Heart: Leaning into the Venus Retrograde

An embodied astrology workshop based in movement and writing.

What do you love? What doesn’t suit you any longer? In this intimate and interactive two-hour workshop astrologers Blair Bogin, Camirin Farmer and Vivi Henriette will give you the tools to help you navigate Venus’s upcoming retrograde.

Incorporating writing and movement, drawing on Blair and Camirin’s background in clown, this integrated approach to astrology will help you uncover and find ways to work with your personal venus story.

Visiting The 418 Project: What to Expect

House guidelines to ensure a welcoming, inclusive space for everyone

We are committed to a safe, welcoming environment where everyone is treated with cultural and personal respect across all backgrounds and identities. We hold the highest standards for consent—in movement, touch, and conversation. Always check in first, honor boundaries, and ensure that consent is clear, voluntary, and ongoing.
As a community-run non-profit collective with a small staff, we cannot clean everything after every event. Please help us care for the space by picking up after yourself, placing recycling and compost in the bins provided, and treating every room with kindness so it remains welcoming for the next gathering.
We have a filtered water bottle refill station on-site, so feel free to bring a refillable bottle. All restrooms are all-gender, ADA-accessible, and located conveniently on the ground floor.
To ensure everyone can breathe and move comfortably—especially community members with chemical sensitivities and asthma—The 418 Project is a low-fragrance space. Please refrain from applying perfumes, scented colognes, or strongly scented lotions before attending.
As an artist-driven non-profit collective, we believe movement and art should be accessible to all regardless of financial circumstances. Many events feature sliding scale tickets, and we offer work-trade opportunities for community members who wish to volunteer in exchange for admission.
