Weaving the Web: Astral Travel
Join us in-person or online for our weekly Community Night: an open, cross-tradition discussion space where we learn, share, and build community together. We gather every Wednesday evening for discussion, meditation, ritual nights, and more, with time to socialize before and after.
Schedule:
We start at 6:00pm for casual social time, then at 6:30pm we begin the main discussion (and stream it live on YouTube). After the formal portion ends, we usually keep the Zoom call open a bit longer for chatting as folks head out.
This week's topic: Astral Travel
Astral travel is the practice of intentionally shifting awareness beyond the physical and into what many traditions describe as the astral plane, a 'tween space connecting the physical and spiritual realms. In our tradition's framing, it is tied to the astral body and the heart chakra as the bridge between worlds.
Together, we'll explore:
- What people mean by "astral body" and "astral plane"
- Common beginner approaches
- The "silver cord" and other classic markers
- Ethics and etiquette, consent and privacy
- What astral travel is for
Format: discussion (and depending on the room, a short guided travel attempt for those who want it). You're welcome to participate as a skeptic, a mystic, or a "I have no idea what I believe but I'm curious" person.
Join options (hybrid):
- In-person: Weavers of the Web, ATC (Lansing)
- Online: Join via Zoom for interaction, or via YouTube to watch
Can't make it live?
Secure recordings of discussions are available to Patreon subscribers at the Bobbin level and above (ritual recordings at the Balanced level and above.)
What to bring (optional but helpful): a notebook, water, and a grounded body. If you're joining from home, set up a cozy ritual space (with candles, incense, etc.) so you can drop into the practice more easily.
