WRiting ourselves out of the past into a conscious, magical narrative of the divine present.
Our lives fly by and before we know it's the final chapter. And yet, have we really taken the time to deeply reflect and recollect our personal story? Have we shown the proper reverence for this precious gift of life through introspection, reflection and integration of what we have learned? The soul teaches in retrospect which is why even the planets go over old ground in their retrograde motion cycles.
By the re-membering, re-collecting and re-telling of specific moments of our personal biography, we not only realign and reintegrate those pieces of Self that have remained only partially conscious or unrealized but we also leave behind those parts of the story that keep us captive in a repetitive loop of a narrative we've outgrown. Mars in the sign of Gemini and then Cancer is the perfect opportunity to put our energy into writing and retrace the steps of our personal story to rewrite the Self-narrative into a more intentional, focused, and fully alive present so that we consciously create our future.
Through a series of archetypal prompts, we enter into a dialogue with the unconscious to reveal which pieces from the past still have a hold on us for better or worse. We can build on the strengths of our past. We can let go of the weaknesses, or self-defeating patterns by making them conscious. We will also tap into pieces of the story that hold the keys to what the Self is up to in this lifetime.
What are the recurring themes, patterns, and highlights in our personal narrative? Which reiterations, projections and relationship patterns with lovers, friends, family, partners, colleagues, our children, and most importantly with our Self-Dialogue? On the path to Self-Knowledge, entering into a deep dialogue with the Self and those key intersections between the divine and human, those numinous moments in our life that have a way of defining our script and what and where our psyche tends to dwell and from where it sources in order to recreate throughout the cycles of our life.
Special bonus of this project is having created the very foundation of your very own Red Book or even Memoir by the end to have, hold and perhaps even publish!
We start this powerful. life-altering 40-Day journey AN OPENING CIRCLE AND OFFERINGS FOR A SPECIAL NAVAGRAHA (9 Planets)-MAHA GANAPATI PUJA (TAKING PLACE IN INDIA) TO REMOVE OBSTACLES AND BRING IN ALL THINGS AUSPICIOUS FOR OUR 40 DAY JOURNEY followed by a special Mercury Puja (for writing and soul alchemy) for our closing ceremony on the 40th day.
As your guide, I'll be checking in with you once a week on a live to discuss themes from "The Red Book" and how they can inspire our own process, plus the current astrology and answer any questions. We'll have a formal opening and closing ceremony with times for q + a!
**Surprise bonus is that I will be bringing in my NYC writing mentor, author of over twelve books including a NYT best seller to inspire and support those who wish to take their P40 memoir or any future books into the world and my beloved friend and rock star, Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins who is always full of inspiration and deep artistic, and mystical wisdom about the creative process!
