I am a ceremonial officiant, spiritual counselor and astrologer.I’ve
had an active astrological and spiritual counseling practice since 1978; taught
astrology, palmistry, and courses on developing intuition, lectured,
and done radio and TV along the way. I built my first zodiacal calendar at
12 yr. and took my ephemeris (book of planetary positions) everywhere after
the age of 14. I kept my ephemeris in hand, researching away throughout an
adventurous life, through my training in the Human Resource and Human Potential
fields, used astrology’s wisdom to navigate my children (and me) through
to their adulthood, and watched the planetary patterns of most every event
and person I’ve come across.
After my early decades in New England, I moved to Santa Fe, NM to help a
dying friend pass over and fell in love with the land and the people. As
well as
my private work as an astrologer I worked at Ten Thousand Waves Spa, in Santa
Fe, NM, where I had the opportunity to refine my practical, applied approach
to astrology by incorporating it in the daily business world, co-managing
an active business and several hundred employees. Through collaboration with
several
therapists and life coaching groups in both in NYC, New England and New Mexico,
I had the wonderful opportunity to do supervised, in-depth multi-generational
work. I learn more about the field through every chart I see, and have trained
with some of America’s best astrologers on Astro-locality, Mythic, Humanistic
and Traditional Astrology.
After a series of dreams I moved to NYC just a few weeks before the 9-11-01
disaster. I volunteer my work daily with a client who as an EMT on search
and rescue at ground zero and needed to download, it was a relief to find
some
way to help. This experience inspired me to search for more tools to offer
my clients, I wanted to walk with them through their crossroads and rough
waters and celebrate their turning points, not just map it with them, and
so went
back into an Interfaith seminary to expand my spiritual counseling tools
and ceremonial skills.
In 2007 my mate Wren and I moved to rural North Dakota up on the Canadian
border, to the Turtle Mountain Reservation, where she helped start a science
teacher
training at the tribal college. I kept up my private practice and writing
through the internet and phone while I tutored, taught a few classes in writing,
and
did research in the local school districts for the chair of the education
department, all of which was a fascinating journey and an honor. I found
a small but growing
community spiritual seekers who did not feel at home in the local churches
and started the Turtle Mountain Interfaith Circle; it is now running as a
lay–led
cooperative while I provide consulting support.
We moved to St Paul, MN in the summer of 2010 to begin our next chapter.
