"I always say I’m not a writer but I realized how much I enjoyed the writing sessions. [Rhea] presented many thought-provoking questions that struck a chord with me and got my inner writer going. I appreciated [her] thoughtfulness and acceptance." ~ Paula, participant in Rhea's October 2010 retreat
 
Astrology and Writing

In these workshops, the insight of astrology joins with powerful personal writing sessions in order to engage us more deeply in the act of self-discovery and liberation. Various themes are explored in relation to the planets as they interact with each other and our own personal natal charts.


Topics that may be covered include:
 
• Current astrological transits and what they mean
• How to find the planets in your own chart
• Themes represented by the planets and signs
• How apply the symbols found in astrology toward your own healing and growth


These workshops require no previous experience in astrology or writing. Everyone is welcome to come and explore how these two tools can manifest greater clarity into the patterns and gifts of your life. Workshops take the form of weekly groups, afternoon sessions or weekend retreats.



“Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!  Your leadership and direction in this writing workshop has been a key to me finally getting to a point where I can feel and see my right path before me.  You are an amazing facilitator.” ~ Melanie K., participant in Rhea's “Authority and Liberation” workshop
