Pre-Conference Workshop
The Nodal Story: The Path and Purpose of the Lunar Nodes
Thursday 16th January 2025 – 8:45am to 4:30pm – Burleigh Room
The Lunar Nodes are horoscopic portals that open passageways onto fields beyond the personal – realms known by many names, like metaphysical, otherworldly, divine, transcendent.

Magic in the Astrological Moment
Part 1 – Sunday 19th January 2025 – 1:15pm to 2:30pm – Burleigh Room
Part 2 – Sunday 19th January 2025 – 3pm to 4:15pm – Burleigh Room
Through a series of exercises and explorations we will leave behind the highway of information and jump aboard the carousel of imagination. Rather than imposing ourselves upon the horoscope or striving for clarity and coherence, we will enter the astrological moment, or perhaps let it enter us. An experiential, relational and interactive session that may reveal images of our yesterdays and tomorrows in the present moment.
