We live in a time where moderate religion is fading and yet answers to lifes 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 Platos 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.
Workshop: Saturday, December 6, 2008, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Preregistration for workshops is strongly encouraged. To learn about preregistering for the workshop, see Preregistration Policy and Form.
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 Laurence at: laurence@lhillman.com
