1 1/2 days - $150 per participant
12-36 participants
In this dynamic workshop, we will explore each of the elements and the interaction between them through movement and dance. Keeping theory to a minimum, we will experience directly how various energies make us feel, what happens when energies collide and/or enhance each other. We will also explore the application of our newly gained understanding to real life situations, and the astrology behind them. No prior experience with astrology is necessary.
Exploring the Sensory Dimension of Astrological Signs
1 1/2 days - $150 per participant
6-12 participants
Traditional astrology explored the relationship of the elements to polarities of hot and cold, wet and dry. This fun workshop will expand upon these concepts to include a wide range of sensory correlates to each of the signs, many of which we will discover spontaneously in the moment. In preparation for the workshop, participants will be invited to go on a sensory scavenger hunt, which will then serve as a foundation for further learning through self-discovery.
Getting Oriented to Astrological Space
2 1/2 days - $250 per participant
6-12 participants
An in-depth workshop to explore the astro-logic of hemispheres, quadrants and houses from multiple perspectives – including division by relationship to the angles (angular, succedent, and cadent), by element, by polarity, and from the clockwise perspective. We will also explore how the astro-logic of space can be used to enhance the understanding of a whole chart, as well as specific life issues, using examples taken from the charts and lives of participants.
For Intermediate Students
(3-6 years study)
Introduction to Astropoetics
4 1/2 days - $450 per participant
6-12 participants
A workshop for intermediate to advanced astrologers, seeking a more whole-brained way to work with their craft. Introduction to the astropoetic approach, the clockwise astro-logic of houses, the sensory dimension of signs, the use of the cyclical history as a lens through which to understand planetary dynamics from a subjective perspective, and the extraction of fresh astrological metaphors from the imagery of everyday life.
Reclaiming the Radiant Child
3 1/2 days - $350 per participant
6-12 participants
In this workshop, we will explore the energy of the inner child from an astrological perspective. We will identify both the radiant child who has taken birth to shine in all of its untarnished glory, and the inevitable wounding of that child as it is reflected in the birthchart. We will then work from this foundation to find ways to bring more light, joy, creativity, excitement, playfulness, spunk and verve to our daily lives, drawing intensively from the real life experiences of participants.
Embracing the Holy Other in Relationship
3 1/2 days - $350 per participant
6-12 participants
Beyond traditional techniques of synastry, this workshop will explore how we come together with significant others in our lives to work on our core issues, and grope toward healing. Our focus in this workshop will be on using our understanding of astrology to facilitate a more conscious approach to the opportunity for growth that we share with others. Participants are invited to bring their relationships (including charts) to the workshop for exploration.
For Advanced Students
(6+ years study)
The Astrology of Consciousness
3 1/2 days - $350 per participant
6-12 participants
Christ and a cockroach born under the manger at the time of Christ’s birth would share the same birthchart, yet obviously our interpretation of these two identical charts must be vastly different. In this workshop, we will explore the missing dimension – consciousness – that makes this difference, and seek ways to integrate it into our work as astrologers. We will use a yogic model as a springboard to create a vertical dimension to the birthchart.
The Astro-Mythology of the Hero’s Journey
3 1/2 days - $350 per participant
6-12 participants
In this workshop, we will explore the planet Mars as a universal symbol for the hero’s journey that each one of us must take to find our place and purpose in life. More specifically, we will explore the mythological variations of the hero’s journey, as it is reflected astrologically in the placement and planetary dynamics surrounding Mars, and show how these variations get played out in the cyclical evolution of our individual lives.
Healing The Astrological Shadow
3 1/2 days - $450 per participant
6 participants
According the pre-eminent psychologist, Carl Jung, the shadow is the guardian of the threshold to the soul’s journey toward wholeness. In this workshop, we will explore the shadow from an astrological perspective, discussing in depth where and how it appears in the houses, signs, and planetary dynamics of the birthchart. We will also take the time to work individually and in-depth with the charts and shadow issues of each participant.
