-DRAFT COURSE DESCRIPTIONEvolutionary Astrology for Psychotherapists and Healers This is an astrological mentorship program developed and taught by Jason Holley, MA LPCC, to educate psychotherapists, social workers, energy healers, and other healing practitioners in the use of Evolutionary Astrology in your practice. Key features of this program: One two-day and three one-day intensives focusing on key astrological concepts and dynamics Evolutionary Astrology: a focus on the evolutionary journey of the Soul: the question, “why?” Astrology taught specifically in the context of the healing encounter; from the beginning a focus on recognizing archetypes somatically, mentally, and in the intersubjective field Comprehensive treatment of the primary astrological archetypes: Signs, Houses, and Planets Intensive treatment of participant charts, to learn the material through direct experience Optional biweekly chart clinic: in-depth practice of evolutionary analysis with live charts CEU’s may be provided for licensed counselors and social workers (pending Board approval) Structure of this program: Intensive One: The 12 Archetypes and the Evolution of Consciousness – 2 days A comprehensive introduction to the 12 signs and their associated houses and planets in the astrological mandala, from the perspective of evolutionary astrology, which investigates the karmic reasons and evolutionary necessities associated with each archetype. An exploration of these archetypes as they are manifest in different states of consciousness, as well as correlations to modern languages of diagnosis and assessment. A consideration of cultural conditioning relative to these archetypes, and their natural and distorted expressions. Intensive Two: The Soul’s Curriculum: The Evolutionary Axes of the Chart – 1 day Evolutionary analysis of bottom-line dynamics in the chart as shown by Pluto, the nodes of the moon, and the rulers of the nodes, using the method developed by Jeffrey Wolf Green. These describe the past evolutionary process of the Soul, its evolutionary intentions in this lifetime, and the ego structures and patterns in consciousness developed relative to these: the “why” of the personality and its experiences. In some sense the “Axis 2” carried by anyone: enduring and deep grooves in consciousness that result in characterological patterns and related influences. Transference and countertransference dynamics relative to these deeply entrained patterns.
