Is Archetypal Astrology the Rosetta Stone of the Human Psyche?

A FREE VIDEO EVENT

With Professor of philosophy and psychology, California Institute of Integral Studies
Richard Tarnas

And Co-Founder & One of the Chief Theoreticians of Transpersonal Psychology
Stanislav Grof, MD, PhD

Access the wisdom of archetypal astrology to deeply understand yourself and the nature of reality with two of the great minds of our time.

Astrology has long been scorned by academia...

Yet it’s been championed by some of history’s greatest intellectual pioneers, from Galileo and Kepler to Ptolemy and Plotinus.

Is it time to finally take astrology seriously and accept that it may point the way to a paradigm shift in how we view ourselves and the nature of the cosmos?

For the founder of transpersonal psychology, Stanislav Grof, and noted philosopher Richard Tarnas, the answer is an unabashed “yes.”

Though their experience and expertise differ — research into non-ordinary states of consciousness and immersion in the history of Western thought, respectively — they agree that archetypal astrology offers a unique and precise way to explore the depths of our psyche and the patterns that govern our culture.

When Grof studied people’s experiences in his groundbreaking research into non-ordinary states, the only system that proved to have any predictive value was astrology. Similarly, when Tarnas delved into the history of Western civilization, he began to see that the larger patterns of our cultural evolution had predictable rhythms that closely correlated with planetary cycles and astrological archetypes.

Their work goes beyond “sun-sign” pop astrology to addressing the larger tectonic forces at the depths of the psyche, a subject that C.G. Jung also explored in depth.

So what’s really going on with archetypal astrology? Could academia be unwittingly preventing a major paradigm shift that points the way to an intelligent, ensouled universe, with astrology holding the master key?

In this exciting public event featuring two renowned intellects, you’ll discover more about how to harness the power of archetypal astrology to deeply understand yourself and make meaning of our times.

A deeper understanding of astrology can help you navigate your times of greatest challenge and direct you to hidden resources. From identifying the most auspicious times for key decisions and actions, to finding value and purpose in your darkest days. Astrology can help shift your perception of the universe from random and capricious to intelligent and orderly, leaving you feeling blessed instead of stressed.

In this hour-long free online event, you’ll:

How archetypal astrology shifts us beyond linear causation to a more synchronistic view compatible with an interconnected, meaningful and intelligent universe
Why history seems to repeat itself; for instance, why is the United States in such a state of political tumult right now, and how does it connect to other times of tumult such as the 1960s?
How astrology can give you a deeper sense of the meaning behind times of real challenges — such as spiritual emergencies and “dark nights of the soul” — and how to tap into the wisdom of astrology to navigate through them
Why astrology is an invaluable tool to support your deepest explorations with non-ordinary states of consciousness

What People Are Saying About Richard Tarnas & Stanislav Grof, MD, PhD...

I know of no work that so well incorporates the findings of Freud, Jung and Rank, adding fresh insights, which the methods of those psychotherapists could never have achieved. I do not doubt that many others working in this field would find Dr. Grof's discoveries a basis for a whole new strategy of research.

Joseph Campbell

Breathtaking in the scope and scale of its vision, [Rick Tarnas] extraordinary book shatters our cosmological assumptions... spellbinding, eloquent, compelling.

Grof marshals an impressive array of data and speculation in support of the timely demand that Western science acknowledge consciousness and its many nonordinary states.

Grof has had far and away more experience in psychedelic research than anyone else and has come up with the most comprehensive and helpful framework for interpreting the data in this bewildering area.

Huston Smith, PhD

Tarnas writes lucidly, brilliantly, passionately, unfolding the great drama of the evolution of the Western mind act by act, scene by scene in precise and scholarly detail.

I feel privileged to have had an opportunity to be a part of these conversations with two well respected pioneers and experts in this exciting field. Their experience and their deep understanding of these concepts, transmitted so articulately, is so valuable to our ever expanding understanding of the human psyche and its relationship with the cosmos.
