In Our Nature

Seeing with New & Ancient Eyes: Astrology & the Work That Reconnects


Listen Later

This is the final part of our short interlude exploring the archetypical language of astrology in the context of our time of extraordinary planetary upheaval. 

In part one, we explored astrology as a language of nature and why it's scorned and dismissed (giveway: because it would collapse the economy, no, really). That can be found here:  This Ancient Language of Nature Has Much to Say About Our Time of Unravelling

In part two we explore astrology as cyclical and ecological, seeing what is can show us about the Three Stories of Our Time as framed by the late, great Joanna Macy and the Work That Reconnects. That’s here: “Look,” said the Cosmos, “Everything Is Never Not Unfolding in a Dynamic Cycle of Life and Death”

Today, we’re bringing it back to the practical. How do we have embodied experiences of all this (and why does it matter than we do?) 

Join for: 

  • Understanding the spiral of the Work That Reconnects and what it means to See with New and Ancient Eyes 
  • How to actually use astrology as a practice of perception and belonging 
  • How it can be explored in communal work, and on your own with examples for you to start with
  • An impassioned nod to the way many of us are prevented in exploring these ways of reconnection and embodiment by the structural thrust of capitalism, and how I "afford" to run around looking for Saturn in the land
