Workshops and short courses

 

 
Our online workshops and short courses offer focused, detailed and high-quality teaching over a wide range of subjects. They give a distilled and comprehensive picture of the subject, so that you can then apply the ideas to your own chart and/or use them in your own astrological work. 
 
In each class, there will be time set aside for interactive discussion, so that you can ask questions, apply the ideas to charts, and develop your understanding of the material.
 
They are suitable for different stages of study. The focus will be on deepening into the symbolism, to extend your skills, encourage deep engagement and develop fluency in chart work.
 
Classes take place on Saturdays, 3-5pm UK time, online via Zoom.

Every term we offer a free workshop which anyone is welcome to attend. This gives you a chance to meet us and see how we work, but it is also our way of offering something  back to the community and a way to bring people together to enjoy and discuss astrology.

Zodiac Stories

Zodiac Stories part 2: Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio

Kim Farley & Prue Nichols

Saturday 25 April 2026
3-5pm UK time (GMT)

 

This workshop is free of charge

The Zodiac is both the framework and the heart of the horoscope, the sacred road travelled by the planets and the rich ground whose archetypal images and ancient myths have given context, depth and meaning to the astrological art of planetary interpretation for two and a half millennia.

 

In this series of three free workshops, Kim and Carole will tell the stories of the zodiac signs as they come to us through myths, astrological literature, poetry and images. We will draw from the signs’ ancient origins in the myths of the constellations, as well as from our own understanding gleaned from professional practice, working into each sign’s deeper meanings, patterns and significance. We will explore the signs in the charts of participants in the group too, so have a copy of your chart to hand if you are happy to share!

 

 

Zodiac Stories part 3: Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces – summer term 2026.

 

Zodiac Stories part 1: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer – available on our YouTube page here.

Freeing the Inner Muse:

Astrology, Happiness and Creativity

Poetry Workshop

Kim Farley

 

Saturday 7 March 2026

3-5pm UK time (GMT)

Writing poetry offers a creative practice that keeps us in touch with the heart of our aliveness. It’s a vessel to gently hold our truths and possibilities where we don’t need to worry about technique or skill but rather open ourselves to the moment. Anyone familiar with astrology knows that it’s rooted in the richness of symbols and the way they can bloom into meaning. This workshop will scatter seeds of encouragement, support and inspiration as we write and read together, using prompts and images drawn from the deep ground of our birth charts and lives.

 

(Through poetry) you begin to learn to listen to the soul, the soul of yourself in here, which is also the soul of everyone else. Joy Harjo

 

Poetry…makes you know that you are alone in the unknown world, that your bliss and suffering is forever shared and forever all your own. Dylan Thomas

 

Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen 

 

Does poetry speak to you? Have you ever wondered about writing it but felt unsure? Kim has read and written poetry since childhood and in this workshop, she’ll invite you to see where a range of examples and springboards might take you. This is an invitation to creative flow – no special knowhow or experience needed. Suitable for anyone willing to trust, feel, play and explore.  

Happiness in the Astrological Chart

Prue Nichols

 

Saturday 14 March 2026

3-5pm UK time (GMT)

 

In 1848, Fyodor Dostoevsky wrote: “The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness.” Nearly two centuries later, happiness is often presented as something to be optimised – faster, brighter, more efficient. A state to reach, maintain and display.

 

In an age of AI, instant gratification and endless consumption, the question is no longer how to be happy but whether we still know what happiness actually is. Using natal charts and shared discussion, we will explore whether happiness has an astrological signature – and whether, as Dostoevsky suggests, it is born not of contentment, but of tension, loss and dissatisfaction.

 

Is happiness available to everyone? And if it is, where might we learn to recognise it in our own natal charts

Creativity and the Birth Chart

Carole Taylor

 

Saturday 21 March 2026

3-5pm UK time (GMT)

Many of us do not think of ourselves as ‘creative’. Yet if creativity is simply the expression of our essential self, brought to life in the world, we all have the capacity for it.

 

We will explore creativity as an expression of soul and an act of love. We will range across the whole chart, thinking about what creativity is and what form it might take for the individual. We will also spend time thinking about the 5th house and the Sun, since these places carry the archetype of the child in its manifestation as life force and quintessence, speaking also to the idea of risk and gamble which a true embracing of our creativity often involves. This life force is nurtured, expressed and preserved, in ways small and large, through hobbies, holidays and play, through drama, theatre, dressing up, making, creating, imagining and pretending – anything which allows access to a state of being that is quite consciously outside ordinary existence. The psychologist Rollo May said that creativity is a yearning to reach beyond our death. So we might look to the parts of our chart where the essential flame of our being is most powerfully alive.
