EAN invited the world to its bit of paradise in 2006. Sylvan Lake Resort sits nearly 7,000 feet high in Custer State Park amidst the peaks of the Black Hills of South Dakota. This conference was held in a pristine, natural setting at the foot of Thunder Being Mountain, where the revered Lakota medicine man, Black Elk, received his visions of the future. It was a tremendous week of activity. Kim Marie held her Segment II Live School the week prior to this three-day conference weekend. The special guest was Demetra George who fascinated the EA community with her asteroid knowledge and research. See a short video of this natural venue and some of the participants here. (link)
Faculty included Lia Breznay, Demetra George, Laura Nalbandian, Deva Green, Maurice Fernandez, Kristin Fontana, Mark Jones, Rose Marcus, Kim Marie, Scott Wolfram and Steve Wolfson. All handouts and conference charts are included in your purchase of a Virtual Conference.

There are three different symbols in the natal chart which are all called Lilith. It can be a bit confusing. These are: Lilith the asteroid, Waldemath Dark Moon Lilith - which is a debated dark shadow around the Earth or a hypothetical planet, and Black Moon Lilith which is a focal point between the Moon and the Earth. These three symbols correlate to our feminine principle and strongly correlate to each other: They tell a threefold story of this aspect of our consciousness within our unique individual soul history before and during the patriarchy. They also point the way how to heal from its distortions. These symbols can be applied to individual and collective charts, shedding light on the feminine principle and its evolution.

Saturn in Leo, opposing Neptune in Aquarius, squaring Jupiter in Scorpio currently form a unique fixed T-square programmed to enhance our spiritual impulse; a fantastic voyage into the abstract right brain dimensions where illusions intermingle with Truth realization. Are you ready to fly? Are you ready to crash? Are you ready to stop knowing…

On June 23, 2006, the transiting Nodal Axis moved from the Libra/Aries axis to the Virgo/Pisces axis, and will remain there until December 18, 2007. Pluto in Sagittarius will be squaring those Nodes until early 2007; needless to say this is a powerful and challenging configuration that impacts the fabric of our sense of meaning and destiny, on a personal and collective level. Chaos, Order and Creation collide in order to re-program our conditioning.

We will explore how Saturn correlates to the structural nature of consciousness and why the soul structures itself in the way it does from life to life. The placement of Saturn by house and sign explains not only the structure that the soul has chosen in terms of evolution but it also defines the energetic foundation for all of the other archetypes in the birth chart. Kristin Fontana will discuss the influence of Saturn giving examples of its placement through the different houses and signs, natally and through transit. Kristin will also discuss the structure of consciousness as naturally defined versus a consciousness conditioned by the nature of society, reminding us all of our need to reflect the light of our own true nature.

Can the very specific correlations of the asteroids to significant people, places, deities, and themes in our lives be viewed as the motifs from the collective past that bleed through into our current consciousness, inexorably leading us to encounters with our fate? 2006 marks the twenty-year anniversary of the publication of Asteroid Goddesses - join Demetra for a lively discussion of her current views on this topic.

Track how astrology followed a circuitous path through the cultures of Babylonia, India, Egypt, Greece, Rome, Persia, the Islamic world, and Western Europe before arriving to the shores of America in the twentieth century. How and when did each culture receive, adapt, and pass on this ancient wisdom and mystery tradition that refuses to be denied and forgotten? Enter into richness and profundity of the astrological tradition to which you are now the heir and progenitor.

Pluto’s aspects will be discussed from an evolutionary perspective (as described in the book Pluto, The Evolutionary Journey of the Soul, Vol. I). The dramatic impact that cooperation and resistance creates towards achieveing the required evolutionary growth symbolized by all Pluto aspects is demonstrated through specific, in depth case studies of well known individuals. The Soul’s evolutionary condition is included and applied in the lecture through such case studies. The function within consciousness that has come under Pluto’s evolutionary force is symbolized by the planet which forms an aspect to Pluto. The core, bottom line intention of a Pluto aspect to each planet is discussed. The nature of the asepct (stressful verses non-stressful) will also be described.

Ever wondered why you keep attracting a certain type of person? Or what brought you and your present partner together? Ever felt with an intimate, we have been here before….? Just as Jeffrey Green’s Evolutionary Method can illuminate the causes of the natal chart, his methods applied to the composite chart can help us discover the reasons behind our meeting key people again and again. In this talk I will be exploring the nature of the prior life causes, or pre-existing desires that have seen the relationship form in the past and that are therefore picked up again in the present. I take the view that if we understand how we came to be with another person on a very deep level then we can work out what we are meant to do with this person in the future; what we, as a relationship, are meant to become.

This talk will address both the purpose and the challenges implicit in the Pluto in Virgo generation, a generation that are growing up under the glare of Uranus in Pisces. I will attempt to show the impact of prior life conditioning on this generation and the potential for altering or healing the negative impacts of such conditioning within the Uranus in Pisces transit. I will focus on the importance of this generation as they grow into their power at a critical time on the planet, when the potential for new ways of living meets an ongoing crisis in terms of our relationship to our environment and resources. In a time when perhaps only collective change can avert the destruction of war and widespread famine I will show the burden of responsibility that awaits this generation, if they can accept the challenge.

Pluto’s entrance into Capricorn is just around the corner. Entering this sign (for the first time in 240 years) in late January of 2008, Pluto will advance a new collective and personal evolutionary mandate for each and everyone. What are some of the themes and core issues that we are likely to confront? This lecture will describe the archetypical influence of Pluto in Capricorn and will also examine the collective historical experience of Pluto’s previous visit to this sign. Additionally, this lecture will examine the upcoming Pluto in Capricorn cycle as it makes dynamic aspect to other significant planetary influences.

The secondary progressed chart is a tool through which we can view and track the “background schedule” of the soul’s evolutionary intent in the current life. This lecture will discuss some of the significant progressed chart movements an individual may experience in the course of a lifetime, such as sign and house changes of the progressed nodes and other progressed planets, planetary phasal relationship developments, and the directional shift of planets from direct to retrograde or vice versa. Additionally, this lecture will also examine the distance that progressed Mars can travel over an average lifespan, which can provide further clues to the soul’s evolving intentions for the current lifetime.

Human-made religions have been primarily responsible for grossly distorted understandings and applications of the natural sexual impulse. Much of this distortion has been based upon false conditionings that there must be a separation of spirit and flesh to be holy. In reality, sexuality is one of the most sacred natural behaviors in which the human species can participate! These lectures will discuss sexuality from an historical perspective initially, then the natural and distorted sexual principles through the twelve house/sign archetypes.

Each and every person on the planet has developed a way of dealing with emotional stress. These "Coping Skills" have been developed over many lifetimes and are re-stimulated in the early life. The sign, house, rulership, and aspects to the Moon, as well as the sign and rulership of the fourth house, give us a fairly complete picture of their emotional coping skills. These skills help us "get through" life, they do not, however, bring us a true sense of emotional well-being. Learn how to create emotional well-being in your life and help others to do the same.

Laura Nalbandian Gerking explores these crucial pieces of the karmic delineation puzzle. With dispositors and rulerships you add dimension, depth and understanding to the underlying evolutionary issues in the chart reading that otherwise would be missing. Learn how to discern the subtleties and nuances of any planetary and house interpretation. This is a nuts and bolts lecture, designed to give you grounded and useful tools.
