About Kelley
Back to Cosmic News
My star journeys have been a cornerstone of my personal and professional
path in life since Astrology became my second language. Since 1967 I have
been learning to translate this ancient Language of the Stars through an
intuitive and unique blend of psychology, astronomy and myth. Special areas
of interest are mythic and experiential astrology, astrology of the imagination,
Chiron, the Black Moon, astronomy and fthe cosmic feminine.
I feel part of an ever-growing international family of healers, thinkers
and creators on the leading edge of mind-heart thinking. I am a presentor
for major astrology conferences and various psychology and holistic groups
in the U.S. and abroad. A special time of my year is when I serve as astrologer-in-residence
for the Omega Institute programs in the Caribbean. I am on the founding
faculty of Self Centre International, the new holistic program at Caneel
Bay Resort. As a creator of mythic theater, I worked with Dragon Dance Theater
in Vermont for many years and have performed at Bread and Puppet Circus
and at the United Nations.
My articles have appeared in The International Astrologer, The Mountain
Astrologer, Welcome to Planet Earth, Dream Network Journal, The Wholistic
Astrologer, on Stariq.com and other journals and web sites in the U.S.,
Australia and Britain. I was a contributing author to Astrology for Women
(Llewellyn). My booklet on Black Moon Lilith is available from Astro
Communication Services .
I have been active in the field of higher education, serving as adjunct
professor for adult students at Vermont College, as well as other schools
in the Northeast. I now mentor astrology students by phone and email (see
Astrological Services). My formal educational background includes a B.A.
in Drama from Middlebury College, an M.A. in Depth Psychology and Creative
Communication from Vermont College of Norwich University, and Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary
Studies in Philosophy, Cosmology and Myth.
A certified mermaid (diver), I live in St. John, Virgin Islands, where the
tropical stars are bright and thick. At night, I tell Stories in the Stars
to star-struck visitors in the paradise isles; by day I am at the sea, writing,
painting or giving consultations. I'm a Sagittarian with Moon in Cancer
and Leo rising.
HeliaStar Productions
was founded in 1986 as Helia Productions to present and co-create multimedia
and experiential teaching and dramatic presentations in cross-cultural mythology,
archetypal psychology, astrology, creativity, personal and planetary transformation.
As Director of Helia Productions, Kelley was the co-founder, with Archaeo-Astronomer
Sig Lonegren and Astrologer Barbara
Schermer, of the ROOTS of Astrology experiential conferences that ran
for 6 years in Vermont. This forum explored astrology through astro-drama,
mandala art and other mediums. Helia Productions collaborated with Dragon
Dance Theater from 1990-1996 to create mythic seasonal dramas.
