Friday Sept 12th Pre-Gathering 9am - 12pm:
Mythic Dark Goddess Asteroids
“She changes everything she touches and everything she touches changes”
Persephone, Hekate, Lilith, Medusa, Medea, Circe, Kaali, the Fates and the Furies area are all emanations of the Dark Goddess of the dark moon phase. Historically she has been feared, denied, and exiled. As the feminine shadow, this archetype can represent repressed and thereby toxic contents of the unconscious that can erupt in disturbing ways. However, deep reserves of hidden wisdom lie in her magical mystery of transformation – the power to change one thing into another.
Discover where these asteroids are in your chart and how they impact you and your relationships. Use these insights to redeem the inner dark feminine and access the potency of her regenerative energies.
Limited space for this 3hr Pre-Gathering workshop with Demetra George!
Sign-ups include a personalised asteroid report for each participant.
About Demetra George:
Demetra George, scholar, translator, and practitioner, brings the practice of contemporary astrology back to its ancient roots. Early in her career with the publication of Asteroid Goddesses (1986), she looked to cross-cultural mythologies to draw out the archetypal meanings and psychological expression of newly available planetary bodies. She then turned to Greek and Latin texts, articulating the history, cosmology, and techniques of traditional astrology. Author of seven books, her most recent is Ancient Astrology in Theory and Practice: A Manual of Traditional Techniques, Vols. 1 &2 (Rubedo Press, 2019,2022).

Saturday September 13th:
Neptune and the Akashic Records
The ancients understood the music of the spheres—the celestial harmony that shapes our world—and this timeless wisdom is resurfacing as we reconnect with the rhythms of the universe. The planets act as conductors, guiding the symphony of existence, while we are the orchestra, interpreting their celestial cues. At the heart of this symphony lies the Akashic Field—a universal archive of every thought, action, and possibility—a timeless composition that unites planetary rhythms with our earthly instrument.
“We are the music-makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.” ~ “Ode” by Arthur O’Shaughnessy
About Merryman Cassels:
Merryman Cassels is a vibrational astrologer, Akashic Records reader, beekeeper, and eternal student of the shamanic wisdom of the bee. Living among the luminous red rocks of Sedona, Arizona, she blends planetary symbolism, mythic storytelling, and Akashic insight to offer poetic, practical guidance for the soul’s unfolding.
She is the creator of the Astrology IRL series, a collection of calendar journals designed to help people live and learn their astrology in real life. Titles in the series include The Shamanic Wisdom of the Bees, Astrology IRL for the Ambitious Entrepreneur, and Astrology IRL for Recovery and Codependency. Each volume invites readers into a grounded and magical relationship with the sky, encouraging daily reflection, intention-setting, and cosmic alignment.
With a lifelong fascination for sacred geometry and the illuminated patterns of the universe, Merryman incorporates vibrational astrology, and Trans-Neptunian aspects to reveal the harmonic blueprints shaping our lives. Her work is deeply relational, integrating the personal with the planetary, the practical with the mystical.
She regularly offers talks—including recent presentations like Neptune’s Quill and Neptune and the Akashic Records—writes weekly horoscopes for the Sedona Center for the New Age, and is currently developing a subscription offering and visionary app to support others in dreaming the new world into being through astrology and Akashic connection.

Hidden in The Houses –
Subtle Meanings of the Astrological Houses
Vedic Astrology (Jyotish) offers many useful principles of the 12 Houses. In addition to what you already know about the meanings of the Western Houses, Jyotish provides some really specific details.
For instance – what is the House of moral courage? This metric shows an ability to manage tough transits. Which House governs the spoken word? Hint: there’s a direct relationship to one’s vocabulary and one’s wealth. Which is the House of past life credit? This metric is generally helpful.
These refined concepts are extremely useful for accurate predictions. And they are painless – no translation required! Every Western astrologer should know these additional house attributes.
About Jyoti Devi Charlotte Benson:
The sacred language of Astrology is only as comprehensible as the abilities of its translator. Jyoti Devi strives to be a clear channel serving the timeless wisdom of the Science of Light. A resident of Arizona since 1969, Charlotte has practiced astrology as a career there since 1972.

The Progressed Dark Moon Phase
The Progressed Dark Moon Phase
Within successive thirty-year cycles, everyone, at a different age, passes through a 3 ½ year progressed Balsamic dark moon lunation phase. On an ordinary level, this can be a time of loss of identity, relationships, and clear direction. However, when viewed through the lens of night vision, these liminal intervals are rich with spiritual and metaphysical insights, psychological soul work, creative potential, and regenerative healing. Identify and reframe your balsamic dark nights of the soul.

Mapping Asteroids – An Archetypal View on Locational Astrology
The Planets have lines in Astro*Carto*Graphy, but did you know that the Asteroids have lines on an ACG Map too? Join Sheera as she dives deep into the archetypes of Hestia, Hera, Demeter, Athena, and Eris with real life Astro Mapping examples showing you how these stories have come to life for people around the world. Can we really continue to ignore their significance? This presentation will show why adding Asteroids to an Astro*Carto*Graphy map brings a much deeper layer and shouldn’t go unnoticed!
About Sheera Kretzmann:
Sheera Kretzmann is a Locational Astrologer, Philosophy student, Licensed Massage Therapist, 200hr Yoga Teacher, Family Herbalist, and Sound Therapist. She was gifted her first Astrology book as a young girl in middle school called “Sun & Moon Signs, an Astrological Guide to Love, Career, and Destiny” by Marisa St. Clair and was hooked ever since. Sheera became widely inspired by the books of Liz Greene and Demetra George who set the foundation of her Astrological understanding.
Having studied Astrology since 2018 and practicing professionally for 5 years, Sheera gives great accolades to her incredible teachers from Kosmos Institute, Kepler College, Centre for Astrology, Myth, & Symbol (CAMS), and Nightlight Astrology: Laurence Hillman, Arielle Guttman, Keiron Le Grice, Safron Rossi, Jason Holley, Brian Clark, Cindy McKean, Adam Elenbaas, Karen McCauley, and Ralph McIntyre.
Fascinated by archetypal studies, mythology, philosophy, symbolism, ecology, and animism, Sheera is now paving the way for a new approach to Astro*Carto*Graphy from the Archetypal perspective. She says “Archetypal Astrocartography is not about finding your “perfect place” it’s about understanding how an environment affects your psyche from a mythic, symbolic, and subconscious perspective.” Sheera believes the way we have true symbiosis with our location is by understanding the story of our Astronomical and Astrological Geography.

Human Design & The Future
The science of differentiation is made up of multiple modalities including the I-Ching, Kabbalah, Hindu chakra system, Astrology, Genetics, Biochemistry & Quantum Physics. This combination creates our genetic imprint that can be seen in the bodygraph providing very practical tools to navigate our lives with the least amount of resistance. Every single one of us is unique, therefore following widespread propaganda & homogenization can be of great detriment to us when we're unaware of who we are and how to navigate the world that is pulling us in every direction.
We will be discussing the foundations of human design, the purpose it serves in the world, and why it is more important now than ever before. You can expect to learn your "Big 3 in HD", it's ties to astrology, our evolution, and how we can thrive in these ever changing times.
About Luis Colon:
Luis began his journey in astrology about 6 years ago and discovered he was a virgo sun, gemini rising, and aquarius moon. In 2022, he started studying the human design system and hasn't looked back. As a 6/2 Reflector, he knew that he could no longer continue to operate according to the homogenized world. The deconditioning journey is ongoing, but he's had a lot of surprises along the way, coming back to the self embracing his unique differentiation.
