Every experience has its archetypal reason.” ‐‐ James Hillman As Jung recognised, astrology provides profound insight into the deep paNerns of human experience and of our cultural history, but such insight depends on a capacity for rich archetypal percep7on, something that involves not only thinking but the emo7ons, the imagina7on, the aesthe7c intui7on, the body, the whole being. Because music and the arts engage all these dimensions, this workshop will use representa7ve works of music and the other arts with the powerful lens of archetypal astrology to explore and illuminate the deeper character of major cultural figures and historical eras. The workshop’s aim is to provide informa7on that those new to astrology can immediately integrate into their lives, and that advanced students can use to deepen their grasp of the range and subtlety of archetypal astrological analysis. Above all, our 7me together will be devoted to geVng to know more profoundly the planetary gods. Our focus will be on increasing our direct understanding and experience—intellectual, imagina7ve, aesthe7c, emo7onal, and soma7c—of these archetypal powers of the world soul, the anima mundi. Richard Tarnas is a professor of philosophy and cultural history at the California Ins7tute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, where he founded the graduate program in Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness. He also teaches archetypal studies and depth psychology at Pacifica Graduate Ins7tute in Santa Barbara. A graduate of Harvard and formerly the director of programs at Esalen Ins7tute, he is the author of The Passion of the Western Mind, a history of the Western world view from the ancient Greek to the postmodern that became both a best seller and a required text in many universi7es.

James
Hillman


    As 
 Jung
 recognised,
 astrology
 provides 
 profound
 insight
 into
 the
 deep
 paNerns 
 of
 human
experience 
and
of
our
cultural 
history,
but
such
insight
depends 
on
a 
capacity
for
 rich
archetypal
percep7on,
 something
 that
 involves 
not
 only
 thinking
 but
 the
 emo7ons,
 the
 imagina7on,
 the
aesthe7c
 intui7on,
 the
body,
 the
whole
 being.
 
 Because
music
 and
 the
 arts
 engage
 all 
these
dimensions,
 this 
workshop
will 
use
 representa7ve
works 
of
music
 and
the
other
 arts
with
 the
powerful 
 lens 
of
archetypal 
astrology
 to
explore
and
 illuminate
the
deeper
 character
 of
 major
cultural
figures
and
historical
eras.

    The
 workshop’s
 aim
 is 
 to
 provide 
 informa7on
 that
 those
 new
 to
 astrology
 can
 immediately
integrate
into
their
lives,
and
that
advanced
students 
can
use
to
deepen
their
 grasp
of
the
range
and
subtlety
 of
archetypal 
astrological 
analysis.
 
Above
all,
 our
7me
together
will 
be 
devoted
to
geVng
to
know
more
profoundly
 the 
planetary
 gods.
 
Our
focus 
will
be
on
increasing
our
 direct
understanding
 and
 experience—intellectual,
 imagina7ve,
 aesthe7c,
 emo7onal,
 and
 soma7c—of
these
archetypal
powers
of
the
world
soul,
the
anima
mundi.
