Tentative Schedule of Activities for 2012 Events

Friday Night


7pm- 9:30pm: Seasons of the Soul

The Friday night class is open to all. During our Friday night session, we will introduce the sign and what it means. The class may include a gathering and/or trance work. During Seasons of the Soul, we will be exploring the sign as the yearning in the soul, a need, a desire, an impulse to action that rises out of the demands and gifts of the season.

9:30pm-10pm : Socializing, coffee, and dessert

Saturday


9am-10am: Astrology breakfast

Bring your astrological chart to breakfast and we will have a round table discussion of the sign, the planet that rules it and where that sign and planet are in your individual chart. We will also look at what the sign and planet tell us about ourselves and people that we know.

10:30am-12pm: Morning session

We will explore the issues the sign brings to us and its impact on the mandala of desire and need. We will look at the astrological wheel as a whole and how it relates to the individual parts, using the sign as the starting point on the wheel.

12pm - 12:45pm: Circles of Support

These are small groups within the larger group. These groups provide the space to share within a smaller group and also get to know other participants.

1pm- 2pm: Lunch

Lunch will be in the main dining room and will be provided if you have purchased the meal plan. There are also a number of restaurants in the area that deliver if you want to eat with the group. The other option is lunch on your own.

2pm -3pm: Break

This is your time to socialize, to walk the land, to spend some time journaling or talking with other participants about the material. Some weekends will include optional community offerings.

3pm-4:30pm: Grove Philosophy

Diana’s Grove’s has a history and a philosophy. The Grove programs provide a solid foundation for leadership and community. The afternoon session will intertwine the Grove philosophies with the sign and its teachings.

5pm -6pm: Ritual Conspiracy: ritual planning and creation

Ritual Conspiracy is where we begin to lay the pattern for the evening’s work. This is where we begin to put the thread on the loom that will help us weave the story that will guide and hold us throughout the evening.

6:30pm – 8pm: Dinner

Dinner will be in the main dining room and will be provided if you have purchased the meal plan. There are also a number of restaurants in the area that deliver if you want to eat with the group. The other option is dinner on your own.

8pm – 10pm: Ritual and Dessert

Saturday night’s ritual is focused on the healing the issues of the sign. The ritual will coax you into a place of possibility and give you an opportunity to use your insights to change your relationship with the world around you and within you. The evening session ends about 10:00. Dessert is served and then...off to bed or to an outdoor fire or out into the night to walk the land by moonlight.
