Astrology & The Wisdom of Trauma
An Online Retreat
Astrology & The Wisdom of Trauma
Come join Iris!!
In this retreat, we'll do some amazing astro witching and alchemize with the co-creative energies that are Evolutionary Astrology.
You'll learn how to reframe trauma from an embodied and survivor-centred perspective. This alone is empowering & an act of reclaiming identity from ideologies of harm such as patriarchy & colonialism which unfortunately are present in a lot mainstream views of trauma & astrology.
This retreat will teach you about how Evolutionary Astrology supports healing with trauma. Here we view our own embodied experiences as part of our soul's journey in this life and we look to the chart to reflect our own embodied wisdom for growth. Whether you have a stellium in the 8th house, a Saturn talking to your Moon, Pluto squaring your Sun, Astrology shows us routes for reclaiming & growth.
You'll learn how your natal chart offers guidance into unpacking the archetypes commonly associated with trauma such as Pluto, Chiron, Saturn & so-called 'challenging aspects' like squares & oppositions into archetypes and relationships that speak to your soul's journey of empowerment & thriving.
You'll come away with a fresh perspective of how your chart speaks to healing & thriving based on some of the core archetypes we cover.
This retreat will offer a space to simply come and be yourself and learn about astrology and the wisdom of trauma through a lens of joy & reclaiming.
It's a space to reframe your chart in terms of the wisdom of trauma for soul growth & evolution.
