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).

April Elliott Kent
Secondary Progressions: The Soul’s Unfolding
Sunday, June 30, 2024, 1-4:30 pm
Your natal chart is like an illustration on a seed packet, showing the ravishing flower you could potentially become. But just as harsh weather or poor cultivation affect a garden, planetary transits track the external forces that impact your development. To reach your full potential requires that you respond to these forces with creativity and heart. Secondary progressions trace the inner journey of your soul’s unfolding toward your potential and offer guidance for handling the toughest transits.
Following the workshop, we will be taking April out to dinner at a nearby restaurant and attendees are most welcome to join us!
April Elliott Kent is a professional astrologer and author living in San Diego, California. She is the author of Astrological Transits (Fair Winds Press, 2015), The Essential Guide to Practical Astrology (Alpha/Penguin 2011), and Star Guide to Weddings (Llewellyn 2008). Her astrological writing has also appeared in The Mountain Astrologer and Dell Horoscope magazines and in Llewellyn’s Sun Sign, Moon Sign, and Sabbats annuals. A popular lecturer, April served on the faculty of UAC 2012 and 2018, SOTA 2016, ISAR 2016, Beyond the Borders 2020, and Making of the One Thing 2018 (New Zealand). April is past president of the San Diego Astrological Society and served on the AFAN Steering Committee, and is a member of ISAR, NCGR, AFAN, and OPA. Her website is www.bigskyastrology.com.
