Evolutionary Astrology III
with Rob Stewart, Noble Adult & Community Education
”In this great future, you cannot forget your past.” -Bob Marley
Continuing from what was learned in Evolutionary Astrology I, we will look at planetary aspects to the South Node. We will focus on the hard aspects including the conjunction, square, and opposition. From the perspective of astrology, these aspects suggest what types of external archetypal influences and situations we may have faced in the past - and insight on how to move beyond them with compassion and wisdom.
It is highly suggested that participants have taken Past-Life Astrology I. Participants have the option to email their birth information (date, place, time) to the instructor prior to the start of the class (rob@innercenterastrology.com) and he will provide a copy of your birth chart. It would be optimal to have your exact birth time available (documented on your birth certificate) but is not necessary.

Spirit Doll
with Diane Doiron, Merrymeeting Community & Adult Education
Join me for a two-part workshop that blends meditation and creative weaving as you bring your own Spirit Doll to life. We’ll begin by connecting with your older, wiser self to explore a matter of personal importance, allowing insight and intuition to gently guide your process. From this place of inner wisdom, you will weave a Spirit Doll that is uniquely yours. Over time, you may find a special relationship forming. As you gaze upon your doll during moments of reflection, they become a reminder that your own inner guidance is always present, always available, and always with you. Participants will have the use of a loom throughout the two-part workshop. The loom must be returned at the end of the second class. Please note that a bit of additional weaving at home will be necessary before attending the second class. *A $25 material fee which includes the loom rental, payable to the instructor, must be paid on the first day of the class. Led by Diane Doiron of Wise Women Sacred Art.
