Lectures
The Keys of Memory
Aleksandar ImsiragicTime and Space of anyone’s birth represent “Key of the Memory” that is deeply structured inside the DNA code of every individual, in which we carry our Destiny. That’s why, our natal chart represent just a basic “Key shape” by which we open our inner multilevel stories. In this lecture we’ll reveal the mechanism of approaching to these “forgotten memories”, as well as understand the message that we get from them.
How to See Athletic Ability Using Vibrational Astrology
David CochraneExceptional athletes have surprisingly similar planetary patterns in their birth charts. Each sport has its own "astrological signature" depending on the nature of the sport. These planetary patterns are similar vibrations created by similar planets, and the vibrational patterns are not always the aspects that we commonly use such as the conjunction, opposition, square, trine, and sextile. In this lecture David opens a door to a new world of astrology that helps pinpoint the talents of people very precisely.
How to See Musical Ability Using Vibrational Astrology
David CochraneDo very successful musicians have similar astrology charts? Do the popular entertainers have something in common that gives them their charisma and makes people drawn to them? We shall see that there are vibrational patterns in the birth charts that indicate the style of the music and what makes the music so special. The vibrational patterns are clear and striking and it is fascinating to see the astrological basis of very influential, talented, and popular musicians.
Do you really enjoy your fifth house?
Karen Hamaker ZondagExplore the problem in enjoying your fifth house in the light of the other fixed houses: the second (body), the eight (repressions) and the eleventh (relationships with equals). Very often we tend to interpret a planet in a house or in aspect to the ruler of that house only in the light of that house. But every house is connected with and influenced by processes and experiences in other houses, if we look at it in a psychological way. In therapy it is often a tremendous help for a house to start working with and exploring a totally different house! In this workshop I’ll show hidden connections and influences that play an important role in our ability to enjoy life and ourselves.
Neptune in Pisces, what is its hidden message?
Karen Hamaker ZondagNeptune in Pisces is not just a planet in a sign, it is part of a couple of very interesting cycles that started long ago, and are about to bring changes. But you need to know where to look, as the media only bring despair and crisis. We will go back in history and discover the hidden choreography of this planet, and how Neptune influences our current time in which Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Aries seem to dominate the scene. But it might be Neptune who is the winner…
The Moon and Dependency
Lynn BellOur dependency patterns in adult life, whether they take the extreme form of addictions to drugs and alcohol, or the more hidden path of emotional dependency, are often reflected by the aspects and sign of the Moon. We can be addicted to gaming or gambling, to daily conversations with Mom, to seduction, attention, or money. The Moon tells us where we get sticky and stuck, and even more points us in the direction of the underlying emotions that set it all into movement.We begin life truly dependent on the care of others for our survival and that [attern of care has a lasting imprint. Breaking the circle of repetition is a powerful act of consciousness, and finding the right timing is essential. How can we use transits and progressions to break into a new emotional life?
Vampires, Enablers, and Transformers: a look at the 8th house
Lynn BellThe 8th house is one of the traditional gateways to the underworld, a cold wind comes through the cracks, we feel the presence of other beings, other energies, other realms. We may be obsessed or possessed, dependent or dominant, for this house is about the way we respond to what other people bring us. Planets here can attract people who are takers, who leave us drained, depleted and emptied out, or they can be attractors of a different kind of energy, drawing in people and talents that help change our world. and others along with it.
The Sun and Moon in Medical Astrology
Jane Ridder-PatrickThe Sun and Moon form the heart and soul of the chart and as they represent our vitality and general well-being, how we live out their energies can have important consequences for our health. In this lecture we will look at the manifestation and meanings of typical conditions associated with these planets as well as pointers on how to work with them skilfully.
Saturn and Neptune in Medical Astrology
Jane Ridder-PatrickSaturn and Neptune are often seen as the ‘bad guys’ in both psychological and medical astrology, but when viewed from a higher and wider perspective, this does not have to be the case; they can in fact be healing. In this lecture we will explore the positions, aspects and transits of Saturn and Neptune and their implications for health as well as psychological development.
Celtic Calendar - Remembrance of the Earth’s Sacred Alchemy
Gaisheda KheawokThe Tribal Teachings recognize that we are One with all aspects of the Creation Story. Individual psychological growth cannot be separated from that of the collective, nor from the consciousness of the Earth, her Elemental Teachers and the rhythms of the solar/lunar calendars. The eight seasonal festivals, or portals, of the Celtic Calendar demarcate an energetic map of this collective direction. This Calendar and other Tribal Wisdom Wheels, i.e., the Moon, provide a tangible framework to decode the energetic influences on the Earth and the Earth Tribe.
Introduction to Energy Medicine and Shamanic Meditation
Gaisheda KheawokEnergy Healing is emerging as one of the more powerful forms of alternative healing, supporting us on all levels: soothing our physical bodies, releasing our emotions, calming our minds and connecting us to our spirits. Meditation, long established in Celtic and Tribal traditions, holds a very important place in our approach to spiritual healing. In this lecture we will marry the healing aspects of Energy Medicine with the calming and centring modality of Meditation.
Pre – Conferences Workshops
How to Select the Best Places to Live Using Vibrational Astrology: Live Demonstration
David CochraneIn the first hour of this seminar David will explain simple steps for determining how a person's life will change by living in a particular place. David uses ideas that most astrologers consider relatively unimportant but David has used these ideas to analyze the charts of hundreds of people with astrounding success and he has conducted controlled research studies that confirm that the ideas really work. After the first hour David will demonstrate how to apply these ideas by analyzing the relocational charts of some attendees. There will not be time to analyze the chart of every attendee. We will write the name of each attendee who has a recorded time of birth and who would like to participae on a piece of paper and put these in a box and randomly select names for the demonstration. By seeing the ideas applied in actual charts you will develop a greater understanding of the ideas and be able to use these ideas with clients.

Outer planets and other realities. Parapsychology and astrology
Karen Hamaker ZondagIs the reality we see and perceive the 'real reality'? Do we really see what we see? Anthropological studies on shamanism teach us that there are people who do see and perceive things that are totally different from what we tend to call 'normal'. We often forget that we also can experience exceptional and impressive things, for example lucid dreams, out of the body experiences, clairvoyant dreams, a sudden breakthrough of kundalini, a near death experience etc.
Can we see this in a chart? Western astrology still tends to neglect these phenomena. I have been involved in parapsychology and Jungian psychology for decades, and have had many clients who told me their special experiences. Studying their charts and their transits and progressions, and studying biographies and charts of people who clearly had paranormal experiences, has helped me to discover a deeper meaning of the three outer planets. In this workshop I will show the different levels on which these planets can act out in transit and progression, including a time- and space-less level.
I will show several charts of people who had special experiences, ranging from LSD-visions to out of the body experiences, and we will work towards a new description of the outer planets.

Staying Well with Medical Astrology
Jane Ridder-PatrickJust because you have a configuration that is typical for a given health condition, it certainly does not mean that you will get it. In this workshop we will look at several major groups of diseases and, using the insights of astrology, explore ways that could help prevent unnecessary illness and promote good health. Participants will also be shown how to investigate and work positively with their own charts configurations to help them aim towards optimal health.
