A rigorous and generative monthly workshop series exploring connections between astrology, psychology and psychoanalysis, and the creative process. Classes are held via zoom on the last Sunday of each month, beginning in January of 2025. All sales are final.

DETAILS

Both astrology and psychoanalysis are frameworks for deeper and more nuanced understandings of ourselves, our desires and limits, and one another. Both astrology and psychoanalysis are also often maligned as quackery or pseudoscience. This workshop series will place various psychological themes in relation to astrological houses, planets, and images and seek to make unexpected and generative links between these fields. We’ll come together once a month via zoom in order to traverse the psycho-cosmic arena with an eye on the generative, strange, and messy edges where the psychoanalytic and the cosmic overlap and diverge.

12 workshops.

The last Sunday of each month for all of 2025.

Specific workshop themes and descriptions TBA. Sources and topics may include the Sun and the unconscious, desire/sex/the 8th house, the moon and the mother, hysteria, Neptune, dreams, surrealism, mysticism, Venus/art/dream work, the death drive, Freud, Julia Kristeva, Jamieson Webster, Carl Jung, melancholia, Saturn, and more.

COURSE STRUCTURE AND DETAILS

There are no prerequisites or required reading and participants are encouraged to find their own interests within the course topics and follow them.

There will be a group discord where I will share my sources, reading recommendations, slides, and where participants can share notes, work, and chat with one other.

The course structure: a lecture/slideshow for the first hour, with Q+A and group discussion during the second half.
