The Alchemical Journey
The Alchemical Journey
The Alchemical Journey is a unique, initiatory adventure in personal transformation, following the wheel of the astrological year through the twelve signs of the zodiac. It runs over a series of twelve weekend workshops, which can be taken individually or as a whole series. In each unique workshop, we enter the perspective of each zodiac sign through a range of embodied, experiential processes, which allow us to experience the “medicine” of each zodiacal energy. We do this through myth and story, music and movement, astrodrama, and through walking in the giant landscape figures of the Glastonbury Zodiac. Each month we work with the energy in our own astrological charts and draw out the creative potential that lies latent within us, exploring how each sign’s ruling planet seeks to express itself in our lives. We also take a ritual walk each month, walking the Glastonbury Zodiac landscape figure that corresponds to the zodiac sign we are working with.
The course constitutes a complete journey of transformation around the wheel of the year. Each workshop is facilitated in a dynamic way and will furnish you with profound astrological insights that are directly relevant to your life’s journey. Through the journey we take you on, you will be able to experience healing and transformation in specific areas of your life, within a safe, supportive container. We are not learning about astrology with our heads. This style of learning is a whole body experience, which draws out the already existing knowledge of the heavens and planetary movements that we all carry within us, whether we are aware of it or not. The workshops are thus suitable for people of all levels of astrological knowledge and experience, including complete beginners.
The Alchemical Journey draws its inspiration specifically from the time-honoured understanding of the seasonal, astrological and bio-rhythmic cycles of the year and this journey is about harnessing the transformational processes inherent in the unfolding story of the year.
It is really about orienting ourselves in the world and recovering the sense that we belong to a cosmos that is personally meaningful to us and there being coherent paths that we can follow. It’s the realisation of how our pathways on earth mirror the pathways of the sun through the seasons, of the sun, moon and planets through the heavens.
During the programme we explore our relationship to the cycles of the year, as we journey through the elements, the seasons, the astrological phases of the year. It becomes a journey of embodied, action-based learning and self-enquiry. And, as facilitators, John & Anthony stimulate that learning in many ways – for example through guided imagery, journal-keeping, music, dance, play, film, discussion and walking through sacred landscapes.
The Alchemical journey offers a unique synthesis of astrology, alchemy, myth, music and ritual journeying. It is a life-transforming experience to warm the heart, inspire the mind, and to nourish the soul.
The workshops are currently running over one day, usually a Sunday, during the period that the Sun is in each particular sign.
