“Psychology textbooks of future
generations will look back on modern psychologists working without the aid of
astrology as being like medieval astronomers working without the aid of a
telescope.” —Richard Tarnas |

“A combination of deep experiential
therapy with archetypal psychology and transit astrology is the most promising strategy for the
future development of psychiatry and depth psychology.” —Stanislav Grof |

Archetypal Astrology and
Archetypal Cosmology Foundational Modules This series of intensive workshops provides a
unique opportunity to explore the role of archetypal patterns and dynamics in
your life and the world at large using archetypal astrology. With an in-depth
focus on the transformative archetypes associated with the outer planets, the
course combines readings, lectures, multimedia examples from the arts,
technical instruction on working with astrological charts, and group
discussions. Overview The first four residential intensives introduce
students to the fundamentals of archetypal astrology as a guide to
understanding the deeper dynamics and archetypal patterns of human
experience. The four residential modules are: 1.
Mortality, Maturation, and Wisdom: The Archetypal Saturn 2. The
Archetypal 3. The Plutonic Underworld:
Power Drives, Instinctual Compulsion, and Transformation 4. Births and
Breakthroughs, Freedom and Awakening: The Revolutions of Uranus Specialized Modules Applying and extending the focus of the
foundational modules, the specialized modules are designed for those wishing
to gain a comprehensive understanding of both the practice of archetypal astrology
and the cosmology or worldview in which archetypal astrology might be
understood. Special topics examine the lives of significant cultural figures
through their birth charts; historical cycles using world transit analysis;
the intersection of archetypal cosmology, transpersonal psychology, and the
new paradigm sciences; and the application of archetypal astrology to
individuation, the hero’s journey, and psychotherapy. Proposed modules include Pioneers
of the Spirit/Contemporary Mythmakers: An Archetypal Perspective The
Metamorphosis of the Gods: The Neptune-Pluto Cycle Archetypal Astrology,
Psychotherapy, and Counselling Cosmology and Evolution Aims Students in this program will become familiar
with the fundamental principles and methods of archetypal astrology, focusing
especially on birth-chart analysis and transit analysis to understand the
archetypal patterns and themes finding expression at specific moments in
time. The modules focus especially on a detailed examination of the
transformative archetypes associated with the four outer planets: Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Exploring a selection of illustrative of examples
from the arts and culture, participants will develop an understanding of how
these archetypes manifest in human experience, both individual and
collective, including in their own lives. Students will complete the
certificate program with a living sense of the power of archetypal astrology
to illuminate human experience and to serve as a guide to psychological
transformation. Participants This course is intended for: (a) individuals wishing to apply use archetypal
astrology as a guide to their own individuation and spiritual journeys, or
alongside Holotropic Breathwork™ and inner self-exploration. (b) therapists wishing to use archetypal
astrology in their practice to illuminate the deeper dynamics of the psyche. (c) those already familiar with astrology, wishing
to become initiated into an archetypal approach to understanding and working
with its principles and applications. (d) anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the
relationship between human experience and the structural order of the
universe, as revealed in the geometric alignments of the planets in our solar
system. (e) anyone seeking to better understand the
patterns and dynamics of individual biography, cultural history, and to
develop an archetypal appreciation of the arts. Residential Modules Modules are offered up to four times throughout
the year, with each module running from Friday evening through Sunday lunch

to their needs and interests. For those students taking multiple modules,
certificate and diplomas are available, based on the following criteria. To receive the certificate, students must
complete four (approximately 14-hour) residential intensives or equivalent. To receive the diploma, students must complete
twelve modules. Students who have already completed the certificate will
therefore have to take a further eight modules to complete the diploma. We plan to offer both programs—Transpersonal
Psychology and Archetypal Studies, and Archetypal Astrology and Archetypal
Cosmology—in locations close to both To qualify for the Certificate in Archetypal
Astrology, students must take three out of four modules from the Archetypal
Astrology and Archetypal Cosmology course offerings. To qualify for the Diploma in Archetypal
Cosmology, students must take eight out of twelve modules from the Archetypal
Astrology and Archetypal Cosmology course offerings. Thus, students may take
up to four modules from the Transpersonal Psychology and Archetypal Studies
course offerings. The programs of study can be completed over any
timescale to suit student needs. For example, the four modules for the
certificate can be completed in one year or spread out over two or three
years, according to the student’s own schedule. Register Register for

have shaped nature in all her forms are also responsible for the structure of our minds.” —Werner Heisenberg “There are
many instances of striking analogies between astrological constellations and psychological
events or between the horoscope and the characterological disposition. . . . Astrology,
like the collective unconscious with
which psychology is concerned, consists of symbolic
configurations: the ‘planets’ are the gods, symbols of the powers of the
unconscious.” —C. G. Jung |
