Upcoming Experiences for Parents
It is often said how parenting is easier in community. But “community” doesn’t just mean having support around the day-to-day of meal prep, laundry, carpooling, etc … Parents also need to feel their days come alive with meaning. And we can’t do that alone.
Parents need group experiences that center, empower and witness each of us in our own individuality, stories, meaning-making and dreaming consciousness — while connecting to others in theirs.
Through astrological and mythic contemplation, movement, art, and group reflection, we step into the living Field of this astrological moment together, discovering and weaving with the deeper threads and patterns of Creativity that lie beneath the chaos and stress of parenting through unprecedented times.
This approach is relational — helping us steward connection with our many human and more-than-human relations.
This approach is also non-dogmatic and does not offer a fixed set of beliefs or interpretations of the astrology. It holds space for each individual’s dreaming and meaning-making, while reflecting back the organizing, living Field we are inside of — whether that is a myth or an archetype we’re turning our attention toward.
May 21st: The Great Mother
We’ll explore the archetype of the Great Mother, looking at the constellation myths behind Cancer and connecting with the past year’s transit of Jupiter through this Sign.
Through experiential processes, we’ll tend our relationship and dreaming of the characters, animals, places and dynamics in this ancient story that continues to pattern our parenting, creativity and community-tending in Western culture.
We’ll turn our attention toward Hera, Queen of Heaven, goddess of family and social order, protectress of women and childbirth — and invite Hera to share beyond what the patriarchal tellings of her allowed to come through.
This is what we mean when we say “take a receptive approach” to parenting issues. When we attend the living field of Story that underpin our daily lives with care, respect and conscious participation, the agency and fluidity of the Story itself comes forward and we get to receive, respond and tend more healthy relationships with it — in a way that helps create real change in the realities we are experiencing and creating.
Astrology for Parents
Maiden to Mother
$165 - 60 min
Connect with your Future Self, as well as with your wider web of more-than-human relations and support (ancestral, animal, plant, planetary, stone, story) to which you already belong, so that you feel held as you release the person you once were — and consciously step through the threshold of Motherhood, into the person you are becoming.
Cycles of Motherhood
$165 - 60 min;
$395 - 3 × 60 min
As a parent, it can feel impossible to surrender to the natural rhythms of your inner Life — especially the Dark Moon phase of falling apart, deep rest and renewal, when others depend on you to keep going and keep it together.
You can sign up for a single session or a 3-reading package to support you in receiving the wisdom of your inner Seasons and creative cycles, even in a role and in a culture that seems to demand a kind of constancy without a support network for rest.
Mother to Crone
$165 - 60 min
Your child(ren) are leaving home. Life is different now.
Come see through the eyes of something deeper, so that as your life shape-shifts and expresses itself anew — you can still track a thread of purpose running through this moment.
Look back on your seasons of Maiden & Motherhood, find renewed meaning in them and feel something strangely familiar and wise now rising up from the depths … and even from what’s been discarded, to carry you through this next transformation.
Parent-Child Synastry
The intention of this reading is not to interpret who your child is or will be. The mystery of who they are, will be deeply respected and honored in this container.
This reading is dedicated to facilitate a kind of recognition and resourcing of the particular learning journey that your soul is on, as you experience, live with and assume the role of “Parent” to the unique human being that is your child.
Similar to what happens when one’s birth chart is activated by the current astrology (e.g. by transits and progressions) and we are invited into certain facets of soul learning and unfolding — our child’s natal Sky “transits” ours and activates certain latent themes in us.
Tend conscious relationship with the places / parts of you that are being activated by the living field of intelligence that is your child, so you can creatively move with that activation.
In this reading, we explore questions like:
What soul lessons are you being initiated into, as a parent to your unique child?
What are your resources and allies for rising to the occasion and receiving life as it expresses and unfurls through this relationship?
How does this parenting journey connect and interweave with other areas of your life and roles that you play?
Please book a brief check-in phone or Zoom call to see if this reading feels like the right fit.
