Wayward Planets, Beautiful Experiences: Restoring and Restory-ing the Troublemakers in Your Sky
Saidiya Hartman shows us how people designated marginal and problematic by official archives were frequently forerunners of transformation. We are going to engage our ‘problem planets’: those fallen and debilitated, squared and opposed, maltreated and intercepted, idle and misfortunate. Beyond the story doctrine tells, what do the planets themselves say?
In this workshop we will offer them habitat and expression through myth, image, movement, and astrodrama. We will begin with a short talk on creatively reframing planets in difficult situations, through a patient and methodical re-grounding of traditional and modern technique into the soil of imagination from which it grew. We will then move into direct experiential work with the planets.
Bring charts and troubled ones, especially those where stories seem stuck. Also curiosity, imagination, readiness to move and be moved. Depart with fresh stories of wayward planets; and fresh methods to connect with them in consultation.
BIO
Jason Holley has been a practicing astrologer for over 30 years and a practicing psychotherapist (LPCC) for 15 years. Jason grew up in astrology, through mothers and grandmothers stretching back to his great-great-grandmother, who was a tea leaf reader in the hills of West Virginia where he was born.
Jason’s work as an astrologer is archetypal and relational: emphasizing the power of stories and images tended in the sky to reweave our connectedness to all the beings with whom we share our world, and as well as to revitalize and redream the relationships between the many creatures of our internal ecosystems. Jason works with astrological symbolism, mythology and storytelling, depth psychology, astrodrama, art-making, and other experiential methods. He has spoken at most national and international astrological conferences, and led retreats and workshops in North and South America, Europe, and Australia. He has been a faculty member of Southwestern College, and experiential consciousness-oriented counseling and art therapy graduate school, for 15 years, and is also faculty for Astrology University and the Center for Psychological Astrology – Mercury Internet School (CPA-MISPA) online.
