OCTOBER
Workshop: Saturday, October 17, 2009 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Greg Bogart, Ph.D.
Dreams and Astrology
Astrology and dreamwork are transformative practices that can be utilized in tandem for in-depth emotional and spiritual process work. Contemplating the messages of dreams and astrology together sharpens our awareness of current life tasks and generates new vitality within us. Dreamwork and astrology are also helpful ways of working through depression, anxiety, trauma, and relational conflicts and impasses. In this workshop we’ll explore how the imagery of dreams reflects the symbolism of your natal chart and planetary transits and how archetypal forces are at work in astrology, in dreams, and in waking life. Greg will introduce a technique called the Dream Mandala, a method of diagramming dream symbolism that makes us conscious of charged polarities within the personality. Using the Dream Mandala, working with dreams becomes a path to emotional healing, spiritual unification, and renewed creative energy. Combining this with astrological symbolism is a potent combination. Please bring dreams and copies of your birth chart to share, as well as pens, pencils, and paper. This workshop is an opportunity to do intensive inner work in a fun, dynamic, emotionally intimate group setting.

Don Cerow
The Book of Revelations
The final book of the Bible was left as a time capsule with an encrypted message for our time. It was meant to be opened and read in these, the final days of the Age of Pisces. The Book of Revelation IS the message from heaven to Earth about the Age of Pisces and the Age of Aquarius to follow. Set your clocks for 2012.. For more on Revelation: http://www.athenasweb.com/bible.html (Scroll down to The Book of Revelation.)
*An astrologer since 1972, Don's principle interest has been in how astrology has evolved from the mythology and astronomy of ancient peoples. In 2003 he reconstructed an early model of Stonehenge, a story recorded in the New York Times. In 2005 he wrote and produced a multi-media show for Fiske Planetarium at the University of Colorado, Boulder- entitled Star, Myths and Dragons, a presentation pushing back the limits of what our forbearers knew about the heavens. He's produced shows on astrology for both radio and television and taught at colleges and universities across the country. Don's been writing 'Athena's Web', a national weekly column since 1983. 'Star*Myths' is an evening seasonal presentation pointing out the stars and constellations for the public, school groups and museums. Don's a certified NCGR Level IV astrologer known for the warmth, insight and depth he brings to his counseling practice. Currently he is finishing work on a book translating the themes of the Bible's Revelation. www.athenasweb.com
APRIL
Workshop: Sat., April 17, 2010 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Priscilla Costello
Aspect Patterns: Geometry of the Soul
As planets glide around the Sun, they move periodically into certain pre-defined geometric relationships to one another. When linked together, the major aspects (conjunction, square, opposition, trine, and sextile) reveal your inner psyche, along with your life challenges and life purpose, as well as potential outer circumstances and events. Multiple aspects can create certain recognized configurations composed of these Ptolemaic aspects. We will cover the major patterns of stellium, grand trine, kite, T-square, and grand square, as well as hint at other possible connections between planetary energies.
*Admired for the clarity, depth, and energy of her presentations, Priscilla Costello is a counseling astrologer, teacher, and writer with a professional astrological practice spanning over 30 years. She has spoken widely throughout the U.S. and Canada, at numerous conferences sponsored by NCGR, the AFA, SOTA, and most recently at UAC in Denver, Colorado. Currently serving on the Advisory Board of NCGR, she was formerly its Director of Chapter Affairs and Development. She has also been instrumental in the organization of Canadian astrology, both locally and nationally. Founder and Director of The New Alexandria, a center for religious, spiritual, and esoteric studies, she is the author of The Weiser Concise Guide to Practical Astrology (2008), a unique introduction to the basics of astrology that links it to psychology, religion, and esoteric wisdom. In a recent review in The Mountain Astrologer (Dec/Jan 2009), Mary Plumb describes it as "a fine introduction to serious astrology and a lovely book for astrologers at all levels of experience to enjoy."
