WORKSHOP at the 2022 Northwest Astrology Conference (NORWAC), Seattle

Audre Lorde wrote that the erotic is “the measure between the beginnings of our sense of self and the chaos of our strongest feelings”.  In Greco-Roman cosmology, all our planetary pantheon were grandchildren of Eros, of Love, Desire, Life Force.  Eros was also companion to Psyche/Soul. This workshop will offer ways to experience the erotic through connecting with astrological symbolism.  We explore Venus and Mars, sometimes called parents of Eros, but also other planets and configurations as they express and mediate this powerful energy, to deepen our relationship with many facets of the erotic: love, pleasure, desire, sexuality, and aliveness/livingness. 

This workshop will include discussion of sexuality; graphic imagery will be avoided, however descriptions of sexual experiences may occur.  The workshop is also an LGBTQIA+ affirming and visible space; please bring a spirit of mutual respect and delight!
