An interactive beginner class at Crystals EnLight invites kids to explore the basics of energy and magick. Participants learn what energy is, what it means, how it works, how to notice it, and simple ways to apply it. The session includes an introduction to a few crystals and a focused practice on using them to support yourself and others. Everyone discovers what a crystal grid is, builds one, and practices how to activate and deactivate it. Each attendee takes home a personal grid and crystals, and also chooses a dragon to accompany their magickal journey. Designed to be hands on, this first class in the series welcomes ages 8 to 81 and serves as an introductory experience in energy work. The cost is $25 per participant, with space limited to 15 people.
