The Moon Readings

We’re in collaboration once again with The Reading Series, an all-ages poetry open mic that aims to provide a safe space for people of all identities to share. Reading in the title references astrology, tarot, and other means of divinity; inviting spirit and ancestors to empower those who step to the mic. THE MOON READINGS, named after the respective Full Moon of each month, will be the series’ sixth season.
