Partnership with the land and stars is a healing journey for many spiritual seekers. Join High Priest Sam Belyea in a year-long exploration of the twelve Astrological Archetypes, their plant partners, and the wisdom of our seasons.
Over the course of twelve months, we will learn about the importance of correspondence, how nature reflects us, and the garden as a metaphor for the body and spirit. Each class will investigate a fundamental aspect of practical gardening, suitable for any growing situation, and the spiritual tools connected to the alchemy of inner gardening. As the cycles of our year wax and wane, we will craft, plant, harvest, and prepare a spiritual bounty rooted in the land. A separate recording of each meditation will be sent out every month, and the class will be recorded as well for those unable to attend the live presentation. A private Facebook group will also be created in which to share and exchange a wealth of ideas and shared experiences as well.
