We are the You Were Born for These Times Collective, an Astrologer, a Tarot Diviner and a Reiki Teacher. We weave together our individual threads of magic with our many years of social justice work to create spaces for personal and collective transformation. It is our goal to incubate possibility for a beautiful future during these times of collapse and ultimate rebirth. Each of us has a role to play, for we were each born for these times.
In February 2025, we hosted the first You Were Born For These Times online retreat, gathering together healers, story-tellers, entire magical communities, and others who are concerned at the state of the world. It is our goal to create supportive community that allows us to explore our individual and collective paths and purpose in these potent times of collapse and change (see below for more details, and if you missed the first retreat there is a full self-paced version coming soon, find it here!).
As we continue to brew up the next powerful, Spirit-led retreat, we want to create a regular space in which to gather, connect and continue the work (and play!) of You Were Born for These Times.
And so we cordially invite you to join us for a series of free monthly online gatherings. In them, you will have space to connect with each other, decompress, and work with each of us in our spheres of magic:
Caryl Nunez, our Astrologer, will keep us focused on the moon as our most consistent, powerful point of reference for ongoing astrological guidance, and help each of us better understand our Lunar Return.
Sabrina Marie Chase, our Tarot Diviner, will draw on Tarot to offer snapshot answers to the questions we are each living into as we realize our roles and walk into our purpose.
Michaela Daystar, our Reiki Teacher, will teach and guide us in embodiment practices drawn from Reiki and other traditions to help us move in ways that are grounded, spacious and connected. This will provision us for this journey together.
Our community members come from every corner of the nation—-East, West, North and South. We are spiritual practitioners, teachers, healers, artists, storytellers and visionaries with expertise in a vast range of subjects and modalities. What unites us is a powerful sense of purpose: we are here to build more beautiful and supportive future. Come and join us!
Logistics:
We’ll meet once a monthly at rotating days and times. See here for full schedule.
A bit more context about the February retreat:
This two-day deep dive led us on a journey from the Tower to Sun, drawing on the potent imagery and metaphor of Tarot, the celestial and worldly guidance of Astrology, and embodied practices for clarity and resilience from the system of Reiki. At the retreat we were supported to:
Get honest and clear about the big and paradoxical feelings of vulnerability, possibility and power that are alive for many of us in these times;
Calibrate our inner and collective compasses;
Travel to the inner parts of ourselves that revealed truths about our paths and purposes in these times;
Make visible our individual and community resources and strengths.
Along the way we laughed, cried, plotted, and imagined together. We can’t wait to journey together again! If you missed the first retreat and want to catch up, there is a full self-paced version coming soon, find it here!
