Circling the Star

What is the relationship between cosmology and psychology? What is a Pagan approach to the tensions and conflicts of the Self? What arises when we embrace our “base” instincts and make them the material of our “divine” work?

Designed and instructed by Anthony Rella, participants of Circling the Star will learn:

How braiding Sex, Spirit, and Love brings dignity and depth to our relationships.
The relationship between stories about ourselves and the creative Self that is beyond language.
Practical methods for bringing more joy, depth, and passion into your life and work.
How our experiences of conflict, longing, desire, and disappointment may become keys to our divine work.

Course FAQ

As long as you need! We recommend you do one course chapter per week, but we've designed all our courses to be flexible. Take your time with each lesson, and only proceed to the next one when you feel ready. And you can take the course over and over whenever you like!
It's up to you, but we highly suggest you do at least the basic exercises. The self-reflection questions are also helpful. But again, this is all up to you!
