Upcoming Speaker Schedule
John Major Jenkins has worked since the 1980s on a breakthrough reconstruction of lost aspects of ancient Maya metaphysics and cosmology. His landmark work of 1998, Maya Cosmogenesis 2012, with an introduction by Terence McKenna, was augmented in 2002 by Galactic Alignment: The Transformation of Consciousness According to Mayan, Egyptian, and Vedic Traditions and his recent book, The 2012 Story: The Myths, Fallacies, and Truth Behind the Most Intriguing Date in History. John’s work seeks to elucidate perennial wisdom in Maya cosmology as well as other traditions from around the globe. Emphasizing the importance of transformation and renewal, John’s work has appeared in major media outlets and documentaries internationally. An incisive observer of modern cultural trends and deeply rooted in the values of a revivified perennial philosophy, John brings a clear and discerning voice to complicated issues involving indigenous paradigms, shamanism, sustainability, and 2012 studies. http://Alignment2012.com; http://Update2012.com
We have all heard a lot about 2012 through the filter of a nihilistic media. But what teachings did the ancient Maya intend for 2012? The answer is found in the Maya Creation Mythology, which presents in storybook form teachings that apply to all cycle endning sin the Maya calednar, including the one in 2012. John Major Jenkins, author of the recent book The 2012 Story: The Myths, Fallacies, and Truth Behind the Most Intriguing Date in History, will clarify misconcetpions and go right to the heart of the spiritual teachings that we can all embrace to learn about the challenges and opportunities that lay before us. http://the2012story.com.

Hellenistic Time-lord Techniques: Zodiacal Releasing
members $8 - non/members $15
In Hellenistic astrology a planet was only thought to have its full meaning and potential activated in a chart at specific periods in the native’s life in which the planet becomes a ‘time-lord’. In recent years translators have recovered a number of time-lord systems from ancient astrological texts that have been lost to the western astrological tradition for centuries. In this lecture we will focus on one powerful time-lord technique in particular known as Zodiacal Releasing. During the course of the lecture attendees will learn how the technique can be used in order to study periods in a person's life relative to their career, health and relationships, dividing the life into specific chapters and peak periods relative to these topics.
Chris is a practicing astrologer and researcher from Denver. He was educated at Kepler College, where he focused on cross-cultural comparisons of the various astrological traditions. After Kepler he spent two years studying at Project Hindsight, a translation project of ancient astrological texts. He is the current President of the Association for Young Astrologers, as well as the former Research Director of the National Council of Geocosmic Research. He maintains a private consulting practice and teaches online classes through his website at http://chrisbrennanastrologer.com. His forthcoming book is entitled Hellenistic Astrology: The Study of Fate and Fortune.
