The starry vault of heaven is in truth the open book of cosmic projection, in which are reflected the mythologems, i.e., the archetypes. In this vision astrology and alchemy, the two classical functionaries of the psychology of the collective unconscious, join hands.
- C.G. Jung
Before radio, television, and motion pictures, storytelling around the fire was the main form of transmitting wisdom. Scholars such as Joseph Campbell have shown that tribes with developed storytelling abilities successfully transmit their values thus creating a collective sense of identity. Astrology is arguably the oldest form of storytelling and is considered to be not only the Mother of Science, but also the Mother of religion. The zodiacal archetypes contain many practical and fascinating life lessons that can help us navigate through difficult times as well as aid us in appreciating and identifying periods of growth.
This interactive, creative and entertaining workshop of Astrology and Storytelling will take you on a magical mystery tour around the zodiac, unfolding the myths and stories of each sign:
- Aries: Exodus
- Taurus: Siddhartha
- Gemini: Adam and Eve
- Cancer: Kuan Yin
- Leo: Nietzsche’s Golden Child
- Virgo: The Holy Virgin
- Libra: The Beauty and the Beast
- Scorpio: Lady Death
- Sagittarius: Chiron
- Capricorn: Lucifer and the Bogeyman
- Aquarius: Sci-Fi
- Pisces: Little Mermaid
In the workshop each participant receives his/her natal chart which will be used to identify where in their lives these stories take place. For example, if one has Aries influencing their career in their chart, then the story of Moses, exodus, and liberation will be used to inspire success in this area of their life. The workshop will improve the participants understanding of themselves through world mythologies and astrology.
