Greg Bogart
Pre-Election Astrological Soul Search
Stay at Home Webinar
Sunday, October 27, 2024
2-4 pm
In light of all things election, we have a timely topic change for Greg’s talk!
In our current exciting, unsettled times, astrology is a beacon through the darkness, showing each person the tasks that are pressing at this moment and the direction we elect for our own lives. Today we’ll look at transits for the coming months and year and imagine the possibilities of four outer planets changing signs, as well as the current Jupiter–Saturn square. For a spiritual tune-up we’ll consider a few inspirational passages from the work of Dane Rudhyar, in honor of his Jupiter return and Saturn and Neptune conjunct his natal Sun in 2025. We’ll look at the charts of presidential candidates for whatever insights we can glean. Greg will also encapsulate the message of his recent books, Astrology’s Higher Octaves and Astrology as a Therapeutic Art: Healing Human Relationships.

Antony L. Milner
Cycles of Being
The cyclic experience— in the biosphere, personal space-time, and the unfolding resonance of planetary cycles
Sunday, November 10, 2024 1-4 pm
At the foundation of any holistic approach to astrology is the experience of relatedness between macrocosm and microcosm—between cycles of planetary motion and the unfoldment of individual consciousness. As Dane Rudhyar states. “Astrology is philosophically meaningless unless it rests on a thorough understanding of cycles and the creative potency of every moment.” In this workshop we will revisit Rudhyar’s foundational ideas of cyclicity, and the associated concepts of wholes in time and space, and the “self” centered astrological mandala as a means to reveal personal resonance with astrological archetypes.
In the second half of this workshop, we will have some hands-on practical applications and shared insights using the Phase Mandala and other cycle mapping tools designed by the speaker.
These tools can be accessed here*. * Note: The link to this online folder will contain the relevant media closer to the date of the workshop.
To complement the presentation, audio selections from Rudhyar’s recorded lectures, readings and music are included.
Following the workshop, we plan to take Tony out to dinner at a nearby restaurant and attendees are most welcome to join us!

Demetra George
Asteroids: The Mysterious Disappearance of Malaysian Flight MH 370
Stay at Home Webinar
Sunday, July 28, 2024
11 am – 1 pm
(Due to a schedule change and fortuitous events, we will have the wonderful Demetra George with us for our July online meeting!)
Take a deep dive into the world of 26,000 asteroids where personal names and geographical places have as much significance as mythic deities. What can the asteroids tell us about the disappearance of MH 370? Which names show up at the power points of the plane’s take off chart? Will the new 2024 investigations being considered reveal promising clues as to the flight’s whereabouts?
SPECIAL BONUS Join Demetra for a post-lecture discussion with the audience about what the specificity of asteroid correspondences implies about the nature of the cosmos in which we live. An amazing opportunity!
Demetra George, scholar, translator, and practitioner, brings the practice of contemporary astrology back to its ancient roots. Early in her career with the publication of Asteroid Goddesses (1986), she looked to cross-cultural mythologies to draw out the archetypal meanings and psychological expression of newly available planetary bodies. She then turned to Greek and Latin texts, articulating the history, cosmology, and techniques of traditional astrology. Author of seven books, her most recent is Ancient Astrology in Theory and Practice: A Manual of Traditional Techniques, Vols. 1 &2 (Rubedo Press, 2019,2022).
