Attention all Indigo children! On August 21st our earth will be experiencing a total solar eclipse. For those of you who don’t know what that is, a solar eclipse is when the moon passes between the sun and the earth, inevitably blocking the sun from the earth's view and completely encasing parts of our world in its dark shadows.
