This evening, author and initiated volva Andrea Hejlskov and literature communicator Suzan Aarnimetsä will - based on Hejlskov's new book the Witches' book and sources from Royal Danish Library - dig deep and explore how reading and working with literary and research texts can be powerful tools for the development of intuition, connection to nature and rituals - tools for strength and self-insight.
Tonight's location, the Art Library at Charlottenborg, is a small, exclusive gem in Copenhagen, where events are very rarely held, so come along to a particularly aesthetic and cosy Thursday bar.
Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to participate in a small new moon workshop, where we will jointly write a strong intention for the coming month.

About the Art Library:
At Charlottenborg in Nyhavn you will find Scandinavia's largest art library in the Exhibition Building from 1884. Here are book collections and reading room seats in the city's oldest original reading room - an inspiring place for immersion, in the middle of the artist community.
Here, there are library offers for everyone - especially about art and architectural history, art theory and museology, thematic exhibitions, reading rooms and lounge areas.
The Art Library is next door to the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and Charlottenborg Kunsthal, and there is a café and art exhibitions in the same building.
