Hey there friends - on Monday, December 16th, I’ll be offering a community webinar on the topic of the future. I see so many people in my community absolutely losing their minds with stress and anxiety over the outcome of the U.S. presidential election. I do not want to deny the reality that a Trump presidency spells disaster for a whole bunch of us. I’m also hyper-aware that he’s not in office yet, since I’m pretty good at staying in the present.
I thought it might be useful to share my perspective with my community, since - as a professional astrologer and diviner - I’m often in the position of KNOWING the future, not just guessing at it or worrying about it. Is it scary to know the future and do I wish I could turn it off sometimes? Oh, you betcha! At the same time, though, I have a pretty large skillset around managing the idea of “the future.” And dancing that line between what we can control and what we can’t, which some folks call the meeting point between fate and free will.
Here are some of the ideas I’d like to cover:
The ancient Roman Goddess Fortuna
The concept of the Wheel of Fortune
The language of oracles
The X factor of magic
The X factor of hope
Making friends with the future through curiosity and wonder
And lots and lots of anecdotes about the weirdness of knowing, partial knowing, metaphorical knowing, and intuitive knowing from a professional diviner …
The first hour will be lecture and slideshow. The second hour I’m leaving open for questions. Not questions about “What will Trump do next year?!?!!!!” but rather questions about how to manage your anxiety about the future, how seriously to take your divination, when to reject a prediction, how to work productively within scary realities etc. etc. etc. I look forward to seeing you. Price is $17, tell your friends!
