The goal is to set you on a path to developing your own style of banjo playing.

”In this great future, you cannot forget your past.” -Bob Marley

Continuing from what was learned in Evolutionary Astrology I, we will look at planetary aspects to the South Node.  We will focus on the hard aspects including the conjunction, square, and opposition. From the perspective of astrology, these aspects suggest what types of external archetypal influences and situations we may have faced in the past - and insight on how to move beyond them with compassion and wisdom.

It is highly suggested that participants have taken Past-Life Astrology I.  Participants have the option to email their birth information (date, place, time) to the instructor prior to the start of the class (rob@innercenterastrology.com) and he will provide a copy of your birth chart. It would be optimal to have your exact birth time available (documented on your birth certificate) but is not necessary.

Our goal is to encourage education within the community, and get future kindergarteners excited about learning! Each bag contains resources for parents and fun activities for kids.

Each year, a group of volunteers work together to put these bags together, and with the generous support of local businesses and groups we are able to get supplies to put in the bags. Last year, our team put together almost 200 book bags, with extra to spare!
