Workshops

This is a listing of the typical types of teaching I do. If you are looking for specific events, see the calendar. I can also custom create seminars for your specific needs.

Archetypal Astrology: Healing Language for the 21st Century

Typically I give this workshop beginning as a Friday night lecture with a full Saturday workshop.

We live in a time where moderate religion is fading and yet answers to life’s big questions remain. Archetypal astrology addresses core issues about the human condition. It blends astrology, philosophy, spirituality, and psychology into a penetrating worldview. In this workshop we will get an introduction to this way of thinking. Drawing on traditional concepts from astrology and Jungian psychology we will adapt both to modern times. We will find answers to very practical and personal questions and explore a rewarding personal path. Using language from the theatre will increase our insights and give us a set of tools to express archetypal patterns that we live out every day. In this worldview the planets become actors on our inner stage. While Jung postulated a certain set of archetypes present in all, we will expand on this notion. Going back to Plato’s cave metaphor, the astrological planets become core “ideas” that exist in all but are expressed personally according to our ancestry, culture, biological inheritance and general environment. The platonic “ideas” become archetypal patterns that we can be read by understanding our birth chart. We discover a tremendous tool for human understanding and for grasping the complexities of our inner life in relation to the outer circumstances that we find ourselves in daily.

The workshop will help participants investigate specific details in their birth chart and apply the ideas presented to the group. While there will be some limited one-on-one work, participants will learn something else than they would get from an individualized astrological reading. The two should not be confused. Mostly a relaxed yet intellectually challenging and enjoyable day will give each participant a much deepened sense of self understanding.

For professional astrologers and beginners alike. You must have your ACCURATE natal astrological chart to participate. If you do not have a chart contact me.

The lecture is typically open to the public and can be a separate event, even charged separately to defer the costs of my trip and workshop.

My fee is $1400/day for up to 30 participants plus my travel expenses and overhead. For more participants than that, contact me. I usually do the public lecture on a split basis.

Astrological Classes

In August of 2008 I will begin a 10 evening class over 5 months in St. Louis ending in December. For a flyer with the details, click here. To sign up contact Leslie Scheuler at (314) 997-3823 or email her at.

Astrological Soirées

More of you have been participating in my astrological soirées in St. Louis. For those of you who have not heard of these, it works like this: A host/ess invites a group of 7-10 people for a two-hour evening of astrology. I prepare the charts of those who wish to give their birth information and then give a presentation of astrological ideas, how to think astrologically and how this applies to each person present. I also introduce ideas about one's life calling and specifically describe each person's calling (if I have their chart). This way everybody gets to experience their chart in an introductory way. Those who do not wish to give their birth information will still benefit from this evening. A great way to show your friends what you are interested in! The fee for the evening is $25 per person and the host/ess participates for free.

Private Students

I am still taking on a limited number of students for private lessons in astrological studies. This requires a serious commitment on both parts and is a way for you to gain in-depth knowledge about astrology and/or to delve deeper into an area of your interest.
