Weekly Challenge Recap #1
Our first week of Spooky Symbols
Hello friends,
We’ve had fun with the first week of 31 Days of Spooky Symbols. Each day, we opened a new door into the shadows of our psyche (almost like a spooky advent calendar). And doing so gave us a glimpse of what these images reveal about our inner fears.
This week’s theme was inspired by some of the top fears we all share as humans: the fear of change, the unexplained, loneliness and disconnection, and vulnerability.
Below, you’ll find the first seven symbols, each with a quick link to its corresponding post. Read the ones that grab you, or gobble them all up like Halloween candy. And for paid members, there’s a bonus set of reflections and a loving kindness ritual to help you witness these fears and send them love.
