Training Council in India!

Well, we can explain, a
squosh…with “enthusos” - "that which makes the divine within us rejoice.”
Just take a gander at the settings below…
Imagine us there. 23 people with whom this resonates, dedicated to great magic play…
“Listen for your Destiny - and when she calls
- release your plans!” (unknown attribution)
This is a once in a life-time cahoot… to have wonderful Evelyn Roberts, deeply intimate with India, be our logistics Queen, so we are wondrous well guided, cosseted so as to be able to unfurl… and to swim and feast, literally and symbolically at a Banquet of metaphors and in an Ocean of mythological allies… with which we gain access to all of
our resources… and customize our skookum selves. (“Skookum” means “connected to the spirits and completely competent for the tasks at hand.”) Bhakti Kutir -

Our time together will be an unfolding journey: from the idyllic, palm-fringed coast of Goa, with its golden beaches and gentle Arabian Sea, to the magnificent ruins of Hampi, and the legendary Kingdom of Kishkinda, with its unearthly boulder-strewn terrain, jade-green palm groves, banana plantations, and lush paddy fields.
Citizen Trickster’s Guiding Wisdom
Traditions of Animistic Activism
Language grants us access to the realm it describes - if we can speak of it we can journey there. Astrology, as a language of each of our individual psyche’s relationship to the collective, rises to its greatest role, proffering guidance so that humans may rejoin the choreography of creation. Goa &
Hampi
are the perfect locations for our workshop – their rich history, diverse culture and beautiful landscapes will be a magnetizing backdrop for the councils we will be convening. Goa Bhakti
Kutir, Goa Bhakti Kutir is where we will hold the first half of the
workshop. Our dwellings are beautiful huts, no two alike, all fashioned from local materials like rice straw, bamboo and mud, and each one is nestled in a garden setting. Bhakti Kutir, Goa
Hampi
Gowri Resort, Hampi
The Gowri Resort sets the stage for part two of our adventure. The simple, well-managed space is set in a stunning location. We have rented this whole
facility for both classes and accommodations. The restaurant is excellent, and from here we will be able to explore all different aspects of this fascinating area. Gowri Resort, Hampi

Syncretism is a Sacrament: Astrology guides us to invite the Hindu pantheon to cavort with Taoism, the Quabbala, Aikido, Alchemy, Egyptian Mysteries, that we may honor and cultivate each planet, as a living Intelligence,
and bring ancient wisdom alive in a fresh vernacular, that we may each embody within our unique selves.
We magnetize, animate, cultivate our considerable Medicines to contribute to the world at this Time of Dire Beauty.
So in this Council we honor and cultivate each planet, (and Chiron, Ceres, and smattering of asteroids) that we may be its liberating agent in the collective. What you will need
All levels of astrological knowledge and dedication are welcome. There may well be professional astrologers as well as beings at all levels attending, from beginner to life-long dedication. For all, especially those unfamiliar, we highly
recommend an astrological reading with Caroline before our journey (at the specially discounted reading rate of $280 from $350 for those who are confirmed - Contact us for the discount code after your deposit).

Sometimes we will schedule afternoons for organized group activities, Ayurvedic treatments, yoga classes, massages, shopping, or whatever individuals choose to do. And on some days we will adjust the hours to fit the activity.

listening to yourself and acting accordingly. A large part of this journey to India will be the experience of this amazing and exotic land itself.
Excursions are included in the "package" prices, and available to tuition only students for a per activity price. More details will be posted and sent to all attendees closer to the workshop
dates.
Because many participants are restricted as to their time in India, and also because this workshop does involve some travel, we will have a couple of days off midway through our time.
