“Looking outwards has got to be turned into looking into oneself. Discovering yourself provides you with all you are, were meant to be, and all you are living from and for.” - Carl Jung
New Class: The Alchemical Compass: Navigating the Enchanted Landscape Within
For many years I have viewed my work, whether as an astrologer, artist or teacher, as cultivating a living relationship with the mysteries of psyche, of consciousness itself. This includes both my own and those whom I have had the privilege to work with. This enchanted cosmos within is the fertile ground from which all of my work springs.
Over 20 years ago in 1999 a radio interviewer asked me what I felt and saw when I was sitting with a client’s chart. This seemingly simple question opened up world within that I had never consciously articulated before. It was the first time that anyone had ever asked what my experience was, other interviews had always been focused on what the experience was like for the client. As a result, I had taken my perceptions for granted, a sort of background music that lived in my unconscious. It just was. In this singular moment part of my inner world revealed itself to me and my work was forever transformed.
My response to that question is a paradox; both simple and complex. On a certain level it is beyond words. I experience is a type of crystalline hologram. My awareness changes and deepens and I have a breathtaking sense of the mystery and magic of the person, the soul essence, of whom I am working with. My goal as an astrologer is that each client that I work with experience this same timeless sense of the sacredness of their being. That even if it is just momentary they can profoundly sense a numinous alignment with themselves and their life’s journey in a visceral way that is lasting. They can in essence touch the magic thread that ties them to the rest of the universe in a glorious weaving.
I find that often in our day to day lives we have long forgotten that, at best we often experience in gratitude the sacredness of the world around us but somehow we don’t include ourselves, our journey in that equation. Not consciously at least. I have come to believe that each of our lives is at its core a pilgrimage. Each if us, our life’s journey, is the embodiment of a divine quest. And the birth chart is a form of sacred cartography that simultaneously can act both as map and compass. Map, through the houses delineated in a natal chart that lay out the territory we have chosen to explore and compass, in that by fully embracing the complexity of our psyche reflected symbolically by the planets and signs within it can be used as a divine instrument to help us locate True North guiding us towards our next step on our journey of becoming.
For a while now I have been working to develop programs that teach my clients, mostly non-astrologers a way to work with their chart, essentially to experience their chart as living entity, a sort of alchemical compass that is their companion on this journey. A Daimon (guiding spirit) of sorts that reflects both the inner and outer landscape.
The Inner Compass: Navigating the Sacred Enchanted Landscape Within
Beginning Friday May 8, 10am- noon PDT. 10 weeks.( $250 early registration by May 6th) $300
All classes are taught via Zoom. Participants have access to a recorded video after class. Space is extremely limited to ensure an intimate experience.
In The Inner Compass: Navigating the Sacred Enchanted Landscape Within we will work with the Moon (our needs, our sense of belonging), Venus ( what we value and want, how we experience feeling loved), Mars (Our desires and how we go after them) and Mercury (How we perceive the world) using your chart and those of other participants. Through exploration, experiential and creative, class members will develop a new relationship with their inner world as reflected by the chart allowing them to more full consciously harness its power. The universe gives us many opportunities along our journey to deeply connect with ourselves and others. This course through a process of discovery and exploration shows us how to have greater access to these opportunities. How to begin to harness the chart's innate power.
These inner planets are what take us places while we are making other plans. In other words, the inner planets reflect the fertile ground within our psyche from which we actually live our life. As Carl Jung said " What we don't integrate on the inside shows up on the outside dressed a fate." You're invited to join me on an inner voyage aimed at more fully attuning our inner and outer worlds.
While it is not required that you have had a reading with me in the past it is recommended. With this in mind, I am taking $50 off the price of an initial reading (Normally $175, $125 class members)if you are a class participant and for existing clients if you are interesting in participating and would like a chart brush up prior to participating or throughout the class I am also extending the offer ($150 normally, $100 class members)

An introduction to the Draconic Chart: A one-Off Workshop class that is part workshop, part reading: $125 for one 90 minute session. Available by appointment.
The Draconic Chart shows your life path from the point of view of your Nodes and your evolving consciousness, but is much more than that. The Draconic chart reveals a way in which we experience ourselves that is often invisible to all but those who know us most intimately. It shows on a soul level we define our inner truth. It brings to light our inner response to ourselves and our environment through the vehicle of the natal chart. Contacts between the Draconic chart and the natal show the true being beneath the surface of our lives. We will look at how to begin interpreting Draconic Charts both in the natal and in synastry.

The Artist's Way and Walking In this World
Spring 2020
The basis of The Artist's Way is that we are all meant to be creative. That our creative unfolding at its core a spiritual unfolding. This means different things for different people and takes many different forms. When we experience the feeling of being stuck, anywhere in our lives, is it essentially a creative block. For some people it is the courage to even admit to themselves a cherished creative dream. For others they may be great at the actual production part of creating yet find themselves unable to take the steps forward to put their voice out into the world. Saturday Mornings from 10am-noon Beginning May 9th. 12 weeks. $300
Walking In This World, part two in the series, at its core is about creative alignment. It is meant to demystify creative obstacles found along the path and to deepen out connection within. Where The Artist’s Way is designed to launch the journey, Walking In This World deepens the process bringing additional clarity and encouragement. Tuesday Evenings from 7-9pm via Zoom beginning May 6, 2020. 12 weeks. $300
Both classes are extremely limited in size to ensure an intimate experience, facilitated online via the Zoom platform.
