Shamanism is a practice of observing, working, divining, and flowing with the interwoven dynamics of Time and Space: Time as astrological-astronomical factors and Space as geomantic-feng shui factors. This seminar series will delve deeply into the 12 Earthly Branches (aka, 12 zodiac animals) of Chinese Astrology, seen as distinctly diverse patterns of Qi in the cycles of Time, and the 12 primary organs of the body in Chinese Medicine theory as embodied spacial representations of geomancy within our internal terrain.

A highly experiential and individualized series envisioning the Zǐ Wēi Dǒu Shù Polestar Astrology system as a mandala. Divining and mapping out a coherent, seamlessly integrated, inter-resonant holistic view into all the myriad domains of life through which health, illness, and healing can be discovered and dynamically transformed. 

Exploring the natal chart as an emblem of the terrain of our embodiment. Bridging internal and external microcosmic and macrocosmic, individual and transpersonal aspects, while simultaneously revealing how the interwoven dance of fate, freedom, and destiny influence our experience of health, illness and recovery. 

Originally taught in three parts May, July, and September 2025, Yin Wood Snake Year and offered 36 CEU hours in Category 1 approved by the California Acupuncture Board.

In the midst of these challenging and unpredictable times, we, as a global civilization are witnessing the cracking and crumbling of the old pillars of our once seemingly "solid" societal structures. We have been offered an undeniable view into all the places in our world that are wildly out of balance and whose suffering has been long silenced. The distorted patriarchal underpinnings of our societies are being unignorably revealed in all their disease and decay.

Our Mother Earth is in need of great medicine. For too long, we have ignored, abused, pillaged, dishonored, and demonized her. An antidote to these times will be in navigating our way through a profound recalibration of our world: a Great Turning.

A great transformation to find our way back to balance, in a world where renegade out-of-control Yang has become unbearable and unsustainable. In order to heal and realign the forces of Yin and Yang within ourselves individually and collectively, a reclamation of the Feminine, of the Yin is being called for.
