2024-25 Experiential Online Groups (offered a la carte or as part of Training Program)
The Iliad Experiential Reading Group (October 2024): A small online experiential reading group for 8 weeks. Between each class we read chapters of the Iliad, the oldest written stories of the Greek gods our astrological pantheon is named after. We also read interpretive, critical, and creative responses to parts of the story. In class we engage with the astrological figures who are depicted, connecting the story to lived experience through discussion and sharing, movement, art, writing, embodiment, and astrodrama. We also look at correlations to individual charts through the planets, signs, and asteroids associated with the people and places of the Iliad.
Fire Signs Online Experiential Astrology Group (October 2024): In 10 sessions with a small group of 12-14, we explore each of the three Fire Signs through myth and story, embodied imagination, movement, art and imagery, and writing. Between classes, I share reading, imagery, and video related to the myths of the signs as well as many related topics — both classical sources and very contemporary explorations.
Inner Planets Online Experiential Astrology Groups (January 2025): In 10 sessions in a small group of 12-14, we explore Mercury, Venus, and Mars through myth and story, embodied imagination, movement, art and imagery, and writing. Between classes, I share reading, imagery, and video related to the myths of the signs as well as many related topics — both classical sources and very contemporary explorations. There will be 4 sections offered of this course, comprised of students with considerable experience in this model as well as those new.
Classics of Psychological Astrology Experiential Reading Group (January 2025) - In this course we will be reading articles and books from 20th century astrologers whose work developed remarkable ways of seeing psychological realities in the horoscope. Authors include Stephen Arroyo, Liz Greene, Erin Sullivan, Richard Idemon, Howard Sasportas, and Tracy Marks. We will explore these experientially through life review, movement, astrodrama, writing and art prompts, and work with natal and progressed charts.
