Astrology as a Living Map: Discover Your Inner Design
Leslie McGuirk
Tuition: $395
What if your life came with an owner’s manual?
In this experiential introduction to Astrology, you’ll explore your birth chart as a living pattern—one that reveals how you think, feel, communicate, and move through the world.
Leslie teaches Astrology as she experiences it: not as something to memorize, but as something to play with. She sees each chart like a piece of music—a unique composition that reflects your inner wiring. And just like music, Astrology comes alive through experience. The more you engage with it, the more it begins to speak.
Through metaphor, storytelling, music, and creative props, you’ll be introduced to Astrology as a complete and living language—one that reveals the deeper patterns shaping your life. As you begin to recognize these patterns in your own chart (and in others), something shifts. Astrology becomes not just something you understand—but something you can use.
No prior knowledge is needed—only curiosity. You’ll leave with a new way of seeing yourself, and a foundation you can continue to explore long after the workshop ends.
A powerful way to gain greater awareness, clarity, and a deeper connection to your own inner design.
We suggest you arrive at least one day prior to the start of this course and stay until at least one day after the course ends for the optimal experience.
