Workshops featuring the world's great Astrologers and much more. Join us as we explore a world of opportunities.......

Join us in the mystical paradise of Bali, for a week of post Thanksgiving/pre-Xmas rejuvenation for your mind, body and soul. Then add to it the opportunity to do all your Xmas shopping at savings that could well cover the cost of the trip! Early morning yoga will be followed by a healthy breakfast buffet, which will include all kinds of tropical fruits and delicious local dishes. Then take the late morning and full afternoon to enjoy massages, facials, a cooking class, local tours, shopping, swimming in the pool… or doing absolutely nothing at all. There will then be a daily early evening yoga class.

All classes and activities are optional, the only requirement is that you relax, enjoy, replenish and rejuvenate.

Lee Anne is a highly trained and much loved yoga teacher, who has been practicing, exploring and growing through yoga since 1996. She began teaching and has continued to study since 2004.

The twelve holy days, which begin on December 25th and end on January 5th, are linked with the twelve signs of the Zodiac and provide a unique 'window out of time' in which a template can be created for the year to come. Each year during this period, the Earth is at perihelion, its closest approach to the Sun. As the Earth-Sun relationship defines the Zodiac, the subtle energies of the Earth itself are enlivened during this time.

In the Christian Calendar, two major festivals contain this period - Christmas and Epiphany. While Melanie will reference the inner meaning of these events, our framework is not limited to Christianity, but sourced in the universal and astrological significance of this period.

The signs of the zodiac will be considered through unique experiential exercises which are highly personalized and reflective in nature, bringing us into contact with the deeper energetic reality which they symbolise. From this base, other material relevant to the unfolding process will be included. For beginners, this is a profoundly personal way to be introduced to knowledge about the signs of the zodiac, and the sacred language of astrology. Experienced astrologers are invited to use this process as one of re-dedication to their craft, like cleaning your tools!

This workshop will also be a time of rest and contemplation, dedicated to releasing the old year and envisioning the new. If you are experiencing a larger process of life-transition, here is an opportunity to spend time with yourself in the company of others, and engaging with astrology in such a way that it will nourish your soul, open your heart and inspire your mind.

In antiquity wounding and healing were considered to be under the dominion of the gods. Neither could be separated from the other; the instrument of wounding was also the agent of healing, as disease and deity were merged in the ethos of the ancient world. Even today, the human mind regresses to connect sin, transgression and impiety with the experience of disease, whose origins remain mysterious and bewildering. Yet illness also reconnects us to a more authentic and imaginative life, even offering a spiritual awakening. We are confronted with our mortality and this critical realisation shifts the course of our lives in a more reflective direction. Dis-ease could be compared to the calling of a deity, awakening the soul to a more contemplative life.

In a contemporary way of thinking, 'divine diseases' are the psychosomatic ills, the bodily complaints and symptoms that are the pronunciation of the soul's discontent. And to know the disease we must be able to read the symptom, to listen to the intelligence embedded in it. Divination and healing were closely aligned in the ancient world, and the seer worked in tandem with the healer/doctor. If the basis of disease is considered divine, then healing involves understanding the spiritual process behind it. We can 'see into' our symptoms through exploring the multi-layered images that astrology offers.

For many people, physical suffering is a call which guides them away from a sleepwalking existence, an unreflective life, towards a more meaningful and soulful pathway. Image is the language of soul, which speaks in the poetry of the dream, expressed as symbols, signs, omens, slips of the tongue, reveries, imagination, fantasy, feelings and of course metaphors. The body becomes the screen upon which for these images of the psyche may be projected. The symbolic language of astrology helps to loosen and reveal the images which speak of our experience.

This fusion of wound and healing, so visible in the mythic figure of Chiron and his heroic charges, is an archetypal reality that has moved and informed the astrological vocation of both Melanie and Brian.

Using astrological symbols, images and metaphors, they will lead you on a healing journey, inviting you to participate with the soulful images that speak through our wounds, pains and illnesses. Contact with these images promotes acceptance, which supports healing.

This program will weave together the following themes:

• Fate and Disease; Soul and Body
• Symptom and the Soul: Astrological Patterns and Illness including reading symptoms
• Temperament and the Elements
• The Astrology of Well Being including the Houses of Health, the 6th - 12th House polarity of Soma and Psyche and the Ascendant of vitality; Planets, Physical and Psychological well-being; Health and the Moon; Chiron and the Healing Journey
• Dreams and Healing

Cost $950 ~$1,750 USD (airfare not included). Work scholarships and discounts for young astrologers.

The first 2 "Initiation Into Astrology" workshops, in October 2006 and October 2008, were such a resounding success that it is now a bi-annual event. The workshops are so dynamic and enriching for the participants that it has become obvious that this program offers something vital and necessary in the sphere of astrological events. The 3rd "Initiation" promises to be even more exciting with a "Parallel Tracks" addition being added for the more advanced students, and many participants of the first 2 plan to return in 2010.

Suitable for absolute beginners to professionals, "Initiation into Astrology" is a living experience, a voyage to the Sun, Moon and planets that will expand the awareness of each participant. Beginners will enter a magical world of self understanding that gives voice to the complexities of human experience. Advanced students will deepen their astrological skills and develop greater fluency in it's brilliant language.

This workshop is not an academic exercise but an immersion experience in which body, mind and emotions each open to engage this ancient wisdom and apply it to their lives today. Starting from the very basics we will journey into the magical, scientific, deeply psychological and spiritually charged world that is astrology.

Cost $950~$1,750 USD (airfare not included). Work scholarships and discounts for young astrologers.
