Aligning with the rhythms of the Earth, the sky and ourselves
At The Rising Signs, everything begins with this idea: Within, Around and Above. A reflection of the ancient phrase “as within, so without. As above, so below.” The sky moves through cycles, the Earth moves through seasons, and our lives follow the same rhythms.
About the series
Across the year, our co-hosted workshops with Alma Sana align with the four cardinal points of the astrological calendar. These moments mark the beginning of each season and have long been associated with shifts in energy, direction and perspective.
But these workshops are not about astrology alone.
They sit at the meeting point between ancient wisdom and modern understanding. Practices once dismissed as spiritual or “woo woo”, such as meditation, breathwork, emotional awareness and intention setting, are now widely studied in neuroscience and psychology.
Research shows how attention, emotional regulation and belief patterns influence the way our brains function and the decisions we make. In simple terms, what happens within us shapes how we experience the world. Working with the rhythms of the sky and the Earth helps bring us back into alignment with ourselves and the world around us.
Hosted by Joelle from The Rising Signs and Sophie from Alma Sana, the sessions bring together meditation practice, intuitive work, nervous system awareness and grounded discussion about how inner change translates into real life. Each workshop aligns with a different stage in the natural cycle of creation. Together, they form a rhythm we move through year after year, consciously creating.
The Workshops
Sunday 19 April | Arrive: 9:45am - 2.00pm
The Aries New Moon marks the beginning of the astrological year and the arrival of spring. It represents the spark of initiation and an opportunity to plant a seed for something new.
In this workshop, we focus on recognising what you are ready to begin and choosing that direction consciously. Through guided reflection, practical exercises and meditation practice, we explore how intention begins within before it becomes action in the world.
Modern neuroscience shows that attention and intention influence how our brains form new patterns, which is why the inner work we do here has real effects in the way we move through life. You will identify what you want to create and physically plant the seed of that intention in a small ritual designed to anchor the process.

Tuesday 14th July | Arrive: 5:45pm - 9.00pm
Aligned with the Cancer New Moon and the beginning of summer, this workshop explores the stage of the cycle where what has been started begins to grow.
Together, we look at the emotional and energetic environment that supports the things we want to create in our lives. Through reflection and practice we explore how awareness, self-regulation and supportive habits help sustain change.
Modern research into emotional regulation shows how our internal state shapes our behaviour and decisions, which is why the way we nurture ourselves matters so much here. You will identify what needs care and attention in your life right now and explore simple practices that help nurture and sustain the intentions you have set.

Sunday 11th October | Arrive: 9:45am - 2.00pm
The Libra New Moon arrives at the beginning of autumn and offers a natural moment for reflection and recalibration.
This workshop focuses on restoring balance and gaining perspective on the direction we are moving in. It creates space to pause, reflect and reconnect with what feels aligned before continuing forward.
Psychology and neuroscience both show how perspective shapes decision-making, which is why stepping back and reflecting can shift the direction we take. You will take time to reflect on what feels aligned and what may need to shift, using simple practices designed to restore balance and perspective.

Date to be confirmed
The Capricorn New Moon is traditionally associated with structure, clarity and long-term direction. This workshop focuses on the foundations of conscious creation and how the inner work we do translates into the structures we build in our lives.
Through guided reflection and practical exercises, we explore how attention, intention and emotional patterns influence the decisions we make and the paths we choose.
Studies in habit formation and behavioural psychology show how consistent actions shape long-term outcomes, which is why translating insight into structure matters. The aim is to move from insight into structure, creating the habits, commitments and direction that allow intention to take shape in everyday life.

Attending our workshops
Each workshop works well on its own, and you are very welcome to join whichever session feels most relevant to you. All workshops in the series take place at Alma Sana in Jersey, creating a calm and welcoming environment for reflection, conversation and practice.
At the same time, the workshops are designed as a series that follows the natural rhythm of the year. Some people choose to attend all four sessions so they can move through the full cycle together. Others may feel drawn to particular points in the year that resonate with where they currently are in life.
There is no right way to approach it.
Some people already move through parts of this cycle naturally and instinctively. The workshops simply create space to do that more consciously and alongside others. At their heart, these sessions are about people coming together to pause, reflect and align with the rhythms of the Earth and the sky, and to create what comes next with greater awareness.
