Astrology of the Hidden Self

Exploring astrology and the shadow self through the archetypal Saturn

Astrology helps us see the big picture in life. The question is how do we take this knowledge, and apply it? This practical workshop, incorporating astrology and holistic counselling, will provide simple techniques for using astrology in your daily life, by understanding the influence of Saturn as you encounter this archetype through your astrological chart and your daily life. 

Casting the Goddess Womens Circle

This beautiful women’s program mirrors the inherent beauty of woman. Women come together, as they have done for centuries, to participate in their own healing, support other women’s healing and deepen their learning about themselves as a living connection to the world. Women actively work with their feelings and beliefs about their body, love, relationships, motherhood, attractiveness, work, sex, aging and their spiritual connection to nature and the divine feminine.
One of the aims of this course is to foster a sense of community and the sacred feminine within women of all ages and an awareness of the intense holding available to women living in the contemporary world, through their connection with each other and the Earth. Each week, we will enact women’s ceremony, magic and ritual to acknowledge and celebrate all that is woman.
Women have the opportunity to re-enter, rediscover and reaffirm the softness and gentleness of their own sensuality through their personal connection.

Introduction to Horary Astrology

Like an oracle, the astrological chart can be used as a way to seek answers about what is happening in our lives. The horary chart describe the qualities of any given moment. When we understand the essence of this moment, then we can also make statements about how we expect that moment to unfold. This is the art of horary astrology, a practical and fascinating approach to answering specific questions.

In this introductory workshop we will look at the difference between the traditional and modern view of astrology and learn how a traditional perspective lets us make predictive statements about everyday circumstances. Improve your prognostic work and learn about the traditional foundations upon which astrology stands. Suitable for beginners and experienced students of astrology alike.

Power Loss, Soul Retrieval, Divination and Extraction

From the shamanic healing perspective, everything has a physical aspect, energetic aspect and a spiritual aspect. In this perspective, three imbalances underpin the causes of poor health: disharmony, fear and soul loss. When we are diminished by imbalance we can become vulnerable to intrusions in our personal energetic field and it is the weakening of our personal power that causes our sense of wellbeing and our life force to be disrupted. In this workshop you will learn how to sense and work with stuck energies, methods of restoring personal power and divination, to recover and activate essential energies for better health.

Transformative Meditation 4 - The Path of the Teacher

Be a leader in this great leap of consciousness. The Path of the Teacher trains you to ethically and safely lead groups in the development of transcendent consciousness through meditation. It also equips you with powerful techniques to hold a 'soul space' for your students/clients and for yourself as your teaching role blossoms into your own spiritual path.

Vibrational Remedies

Vibrational remedies are transformational tools of consciousness made from the immersion of a flower, gem or other object in water and left to infuse in sunlight. The resultant water contains an imprint of the flower or gem. Essences interact with our subtle bodies triggering resonance through all aspects of our being. They encourage the awakening of our dormant qualities, inspiring transformation and alleviating our fears and limited perceptions. Essences invite opportunities for profound healing and change at all levels. In this course you will explore making, prescribing and communicating with essences. There is a strong focus on practical experience, personal empowerment and awakening to nature.
