“When I had journeyed half of our life’s way, I found myself within a shadowed forest, for I had lost the path that does not stray.” I borrow Dante’s words to help me bring a sense of what meeting Iris and her work has meant for me. At a time when I had just started to get in touch with Astrology, I dare to say that her unique approach parallels what Dante must have felt as he met Virgil. I wouldn’t wish any other combo of embodiment, witching, compassion, poetry, sacred rage, hope, amazement and reverence to accompany me on such a journey at such a peculiar time. The presence with which Iris weaves the archetypes and holds space for clients and students is very out of the ordinary, rarely have I met this. Her Evolutionary & Embodied Astrology course is great for anyone who wants to find their first steps into the stars and also for those who have been working with the archetypes for a long time but haven’t had familiarity with the evolutionary perspective that also integrates the elements. And 13-year-old me would be marveled at the synchronicity: that strange but deeply interesting book i was reading then and written centuries ago by Dante would be a common thread with this great witchy PhD he’d meet as he would delve into Pluto’s realm so many years later. ~ Daniel
