The objective of the workshop is to train the mind in perception through insight work, using lecture, self-study of our natal charts, and group work. It begins with the basics of astrology, and introduces Vedic astrology, the ancient system in India based on sidereal time, as compared with the more common Western astrology. Participants will analyze charts using a variety of methods, each offering different insights into our personality stories and our relationships with others. Discovering the lost wisdom of the ancient Yuga cycle of the ages from India reveals dramatic new perspectives about this current time in history. Learning about the mahadashas, we explore the planetary hill and valley periods of our life. The teaching comes alive through extensive group exercises and opportunity to explore the energetic influences on ourselves.
