Creative Astrology Presentations
Astrology and the Art of Imagination
Astrology is an intuitive science. From a base of astronomical data, we
give witness to human experience. The art of astrological interpretation
involves our intuition and imagination, a layer of knowing beyond rational
logic. Through discussion and various activities we tap into this intuitive
capacity. Forget the math, put aside your ephemeris. This is a time to
refresh your astrological imagination, using such creative means as
storytelling, dialogue, Sabian symbols, color, collage, sound, movement
and poetry applied to your own chart.
A Walk Around Your Birthchart
In a large zodiac circle we will move through our birthcharts, planet by
planet, exploring the meaning of each placement with others we encounter
along the way. Good for all levels of astrology knowledge. Also works well
as an ice-breaker for a full workshop day or conference weekend.
Exploring Transits Through Astrodrama
Bringing transits to life through dramatizing current planetary patterns
and transits to our own natal placements. For actors and audience, the
dialogues and interactions are bound to be fun, revelatory and beyond
rational expectations.
Planet Masks
A 3-hour mask-making workshop to express and explore personal astrological
energies, a very powerful process. This can be extended into a full-day to
play with the masks, further exploring their character and their relation
to horoscope dynamics. Maximum of 20 participants.
Mandala Art and the Horoscope
The mandala is a sacred art form used in many cultures. A circle like the
horoscope, a mandala is a focused expression of the inner journey. We will
create personal mandalas, letting your inner self spontaneously intepret
your chart, and then look at them in relation to our horoscopes, especially
as a reflection of current transits.
Planet Dances
Experience the energy of the planets through music and movement, based on
planet walks developed by the Sufi Master, Hazrat Inayat Khan and Murshid
Samuel Lewis.
Descent to Pluto--Earth Mysteries Play
a half-day playshop
How do we enter and find our way out of the underworld during a Pluto
transit? In order to imagine transformational possibilities, we will
create our own version of the classical myth of Pluto, Persephone and
Demeter which was at the core of the Eleusinian mysteries. Wešll recast the
three major figures as well as Jupiter, Mercury, the Sun, Saturn, the
Wailing Shades and others.
