Chiron’s Healing Journey: the spiritual alchemy of transmuting the darkness of the core wound into the golden light of courage, freedom and joy.
A new vision required of this evolutionary period in global humanity is that of Unity. Shaman-Teacher Chiron helps us know our several parts (sometimes hurt or broken), then get them communicating & integrating for the mending process towards that unity. The Heart Chakra is the Sun in our personal solar system. As the latter is to our Sun (whose service Chiron assists) so is the Sun to the great Sirius star system. So Chiron is Messenger from the light within grounded matter (horse) as well as the galaxy (human flame of consciousness). The rider connects heaven and earth, psyche & soma and is the Transcender of Duality.
The Wise Centaur, Chiron embodies archetypes that mentor us to …
• Identify our personal pain, suffering & the underlying trauma conditioning so many aspects of our lives – attitudes, psychological beliefs, work, health & relationships.
• Understand patterns deriving from these core wounds we have all received,
• Hold the perception in our consciousness, embracing the reality of its direct experience.
• Through awareness of, acceptance & compassion for our inner child, transmute the wound into healing medicine for the benefit of ourselves and others.
• In this function, Chiron is a Boddhisatva and teaches us how to be one too.
Awareness of new Chironic archetypes is growing. The astronomical body, orbiting between Saturn & Uranus, discovered only in 1977 reflects wisdom into evolving human consciousness & planetary initiation. Fueled by analysis of thousands of charts, this accumulates with each passing year.
The workshop will be experiential. Please prepare by finding the sign & house where Chiron manifests in your own natal chart & read a little online re these placements.
The format: short talks on principles & archetypes, including those within Chiron’s mythological presence, followed by an exercise (possibly in small groups) in mindfulness exploring an archetype, e.g. Sacred Warrior, Wounded Healer, Rainbow Bridge, Shaman, Alchemist. There will be 10-15 minute break near midpoint.
Invited to contribute to a new book on the Centaurs “Sideways from Saturn” to be published this Fall (now on pre-order), I will share some perspectives from the chapter “Being Chiron”.
