We live in a time where moderate religion is fading and yet answers to life's big questions remain. Archetypal astrology can address core issues about human nature. It blends philosophy, spirituality, and psychology into a penetrating worldview. This weekend 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 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, this lecture 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 can be read in a person by understanding their birth chart. This provides us with a tremendous tool for human understanding and for grasping the complexities of our inner life in relationship to the outer circumstances we find ourselves in daily.
The workshop will help participants get very specific with their birth chart and apply the ideas and thoughts presented in the lecture. A mixture of group exercises, individual reflection, one-on-one work but mostly a relaxed and enjoyable day will give each participant a deep sense of self understanding.
Bring your natal astrological chart to the workshop. If you do not have one or have questions about the weekend, contact Laurence at laurence@lhillman.com.
