This retreat workshop takes place not only as we end the yearly Astrological cycle of the Sun transitioning from Pisces to Aries, but also as we leave the once in a lifetime energies of Pluto in Capricorn moving into Aquarius for the first time in 225 years.
This is a profound time to release old patterns, structures and thoughts holding us back.
This is a profound time to release old patterns, structures and thoughts holding us back.

During the retreat we will be healing and releasing old patterns and setting seeds for the new Astrological Year in Aries, as well as working individually and as a group with the Astrological Zodiac for the purposes of healing. This workshop is largely experiential rather than 'taught'; the Zodiac is created on the floor, using glyphs of the planets and houses. Participants then step inside and experience for themselves the energies, dynamics and interactions of the Astrological signs, planets and houses. Ideally if you wish to take part, it's best to have some prior awareness of working experientially, and/or of trusting your intution.
Working with Intention
It can be helpful prior to attending the workshop to begin to think about any intentions you may have for doing the AstroCrystal work e.g is there an area of life you would like clarity over, or any burning questions you have in life. This then helps to fine tune any work done during the workshop. This is something we will address also at the beginning of the workshop week. Some examples of intentions could be: 'Why do I attract certain partners into my life?', 'Why I do get depressed?', 'How can I further my spiritual development?'.

Exploration of the birth chart
The Zodiac, rather than being something remote on a piece of paper, or something taught by somone, instead becomes something alive, and fully accessible with all the senses. The exploration and awareness of every individual is unique but clients have variously reported a mixture of images, or specific memories coming to them, or feelings of like/dislike heat/cold, or of their own bodies being related to the house and planetary positions of a chart.
The overall approach is from a spiritual and life purpose perspective. The natal chart is the soul's blueprint which can be worked with to help heal deep stuck patterns. A chart is like a road map of why we are here, what we have been before, and what we hope to be in the future. It contains our strengths and weaknesses, as well as unconscious hidden aspects of ourselves that may be blocking our growth.
