Teaching
Over the past few years I have been fortunate to teach astrology in a number of different settings. In 2001 I was invited to teach a six-day Grof training module in Australia, which I called “ The Power of Archetype”. This module explored the ways astrology can be seen as a spiritual discipline, and also explored the ways astrology and breathwork support and amplify each other. I have been fortunate to teach this module two more times, once in Argentina, and more recently here in the United States.
In 2002 I taught a weekly astrology class out of my apartment in San Francisco over a 15-week period. The class was modeled after Richard Tarnas’ practicum course “Psyche and Cosmos II.” Participants all had each other’s natal charts, and we followed closely and reported in about our transits each week. During this class I also gave weekly presentations on my current archetypal fascinations. I did several presentations on current news stories and how they related to what was in the sky; gave a presentation on Stephen Spielberg and played film clips representative of his natal chart; gave a presentation on the famous “Rumble in the Jungle,” looking at Muhammad Ali’s, and George Foreman’s charts and transits for the fight; presented an analysis of Shakleton’s famous journey to Antarctica; and several other interesting presentations. I hope to teach another version of this class in 2006 and will post details on this site when the dates are clear.
In 2004 I was invited to speak at the Sixteenth International Transpersonal Conference in Palm Springs, and I gave a talk titled “The Joy of Astrology: Living the Life Archetypal.” The conference was wonderful, and my talk was well received. If you are interested in purchasing a taped copy of the talk, you can do so through Conference Recording Services. Here’s a link: www.ConferenceRecording.com (Just type in my last name, and the talk with come up).
I have also been invited several times to deliver brief introductory lectures to private groups or classes. For one such class I traveled by car several hours to give a free talk, with the arrangement that a number of people attending the talk would be meeting with me for astrological consultations. If you wish to sponsor me for such a talk, please contact me to make arrangements.
Teaching in 2007
I am very happy to announce that I will be teaching a Grof Training Module this year in Barcelona, Spain:
"The Power of Archetype: Astrology and Holotropic Breathwork"
The Dates are April 2-7, 2007
Please visit the Grof website at www.Holotropic.com for more information, or contact the coordinators of the workshop, Juanjo Segura and Sitara Blasco, at
Please feel free to contact me if you have specific questions. I can also email you a flier with more information if you write me here at
This workshop will be a great opportunity for anyone who wants to learn astrology as a spiritual discipline. It is designed to be accessible to beginners in astrology, but also should be very rewarding for those who have studied astrology for a long time. No prior experience with Holotropic Breathwork is necessary to attend the module. The module will be held in a beautiful hotel on the coast of Spain.
I am also very excited to announce that I will be helping Richard Tarnas with another Grof Training Module on astrology, but this one will be held near Sydney, Australia.
"Cosmos and Psyche" with Richard Tarnas
The dates for this event are Jun 26-Jul 1. 2007
This will be a fantastic opportunity to receive an introduction to the "Tarnas-Grof" approach to astrology. No experience in astrology (or breathwork) is necessary to register. Tarnas will be teaching the first two full days, and then I will be present after he leaves to help with the breathwork and also to do some additional teaching.
Please visit the Grof website at www.Holotropic.com for more information, or contact the coordinator of the workshop, Vicky Nicholson, at: ph (61) 03 6239 1063 or
Also, please feel free to contact me also if you have specific questions.
Mentoring
Several of my astrological clients over the years have asked me to mentor them in their personal studies of astrology. I have always enjoyed doing this, and would be available to work with anyone who wants to go deeper into the practice of astrology. I can work with you either in-person in San Francisco or over the telephone, and will design a course of study suited to your individual needs. My only requirement is that you have had an initial astrological consultation with me prior to beginning the mentorship. This will allow us to get to know each other, and will also give you a sense for my approach to astrology.
My fee for mentorship is $100 for a 90 minute session.
Please contact me for more details.
