Poetic Astrology (1-2 hr):
The poetic tradition has a rich store of wisdom to offer astrologers during consultations. This lively, inspirational lecture invites astrologers on a journey through the solar system and shows how astrology can be a language of conversation with eternal being. I say, “Argue for your limitations and you get to keep them. But argue for your possibilities and you get to create them.” In this lecture many new insights into the thresholds of consciousness symbolized by Ceres and Chiron are given. Learn to invoke the music of the celestial spheres whenever you gaze into a birth chart.

Cosmic Seeds of Purpose (1-2 hr)
People want to know what their life mission is. In astrology it's important to know where your soul has been, where it's going, and how it's going to arrive. In this lecture I teach how to illuminate the life purpose by combining the imagery of the Sun, North Node, and Midheaven. By studying and integrating the signs, houses and aspects of these factors you get a vivid picture of why a person has been born. We are all born in response to a spiritual need on the planet. Mostly people fulfill a fraction of that purpose because they get locked into playing out the dramas of the past. We also look at the soul's configuration by studying the Moon, South Node, and Nadir to see what drives the soul and how it can contribute to the purpose. Once we understand those chart aspects deeply, we move onto the Ascendant-Descendant axis of life to discover how the soul and its purpose will manifest.

Seasons of the Soul (1-2 hr):
Using an innovative astrology toolkit called the Celestial Mandala, I show how we can get the most insight and understanding out of chart evolutions (transits, progressions, lunations, solar arcs). In this dynamic lecture I teach a unique way of journaling the potentials of the heavenly cycles that are activating our charts. I examine outer planet transits in many new ways, seeing not only how the collective influences us, but also how our natal charts influence the collective transits. We also work with the New Moons and Full Moons to understand and utilize this powerful 6-month cycle of sowing and reaping your destiny. You can view a Celestial Mandala toolkit here.

The Art of Cosmic Companionship (1-2 hr):
New insights into synastry. In this groundbreaking lecture on cosmic companionship I teach how certain factors in the birth chart need to be honored in relationship for harmonic relating. Using vivid poetry and a unique principle called the Equation of Mutual Resonance, we’ll go where the art of chart compatibility has never ventured before!

Planetary Cycles of the Piscean Age (1-2 hr):
We are living during the momentous interface period between the Age of Pisces and Aquarius. The astronomical shift of the Aries Ingress doesn’t occur until 2376! However, ever since Uranus was discovered in 1781, we have felt the growing tide of Aquarius. How can our world cultivate spiritual unity through devotion to craft and aim it all into the new emerging paradigm of creative individuality? Through the cycles of the outer planets and the Great Conjunctions of Jupiter and Saturn we will explore the global shift in consciousness!

Living the Mystery:
Astrological Insights into the Way (2hr): Yeats said that life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived and a source of revelation. This lecture is an in-depth examination of the principles of eternity and how they give rise to the archetypes that shape creation and life. I’ll discuss how the principles of Unified Being, Rhythmic Vibration, and the Creative Void teach practical lessons in living life as an art. Brace yourself for a talk that goes into the physics behind the art of astrology!

Biblical Insights into Astrology (1-2hr):
After a spiritual awakening in the desert of New Mexico, I began receiving archetypal insights into the Hebrew letters, which lead to a re-examination of the Bible. I never wanted to learn Hebrew! It just happened. I was amazed to find amazing quotes about astrology that shed new light on our profession. The Hebrew word for astrologer is ‘ashaph’, which translated archtypally means “one who communicates through the sacred flames.” The Bible shows how astrologers are supposed to be sacred celestial oracles for eternal being!

The Heroic Journey of Aspects (1-2hr):
Using the pattern of Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey in combination with Dane Rudhyar’s cyclic teaching of aspects I show how to interpret the complex dialogue between the characters of your birth chart. The focus is on learning to ‘storytell’ the birth chart, to extract wisdom by synthesizing chart configurations into meaning using myth and poetic imagery. We will also explore how the transits and progressions to such aspect configurations arrive to bring new ‘scenes’ into the movie of your life.

The Tao of Astrology (Workshop: Two, 3 hour sessions with lunch break):
In this innovative workshop we will examine modern Western astrology through the amazing organic lens of ancient Taoism and Zen as a way of attaining satori (enlightenment). Using poetry, stories, and the chart of Albert Einstein, this comprehensive workshop will deepen your reverence for life and improve the quality of your interpretation skills. My previous workshops on the Tao of Astrology have had tremendous success. Newcomers were up and rolling with creative, intuitive chart interpretation and seasoned astrologers were armed with vibrant new ways of invoking the archetypes. One attendee said, “It was like watching Robin Williams with Dane Rudhyar’s brain teach astrology!” So you are sure to enjoy the cosmic journey. Insights from all of my lectures will sneak into the workshop!

Chart Governorships(1-2 hr)
A lot of beginning astrologers don't know how to look deeply into the chart to see the "invisible" interconnections through despositors. In this lecture I teach people how to recognize and interpret the image bridges between houses. In practice, despositors open up a whole new hidden order of "house" aspects that add a wealth of insight to chart interpretations. Combined with aspects these despositors help to bring synthesis and spontaneity to interpretation. They allow you to see the cosmic switchboard of energy beneath the chart. I stress the importance of using the classical governing planets of the signs initially. I also talk about how houses imbue planets with archetypal "charges" just like the signs do.
