Meeting April 20-21, 2007 - Daniel Giamario
"The Lunar Standstill" / "Latest Developments in Shamanic Astrology"

FRIDAY NIGHT Lecture - The Lunar Standstill and the Implications of an Out of Bounds Moon

Every nineteen years, for a period of about three years, the moon can attain declinations of beyond 28 degrees. From the great stone circles of northwest Scotland to Chimney Rock in Colorado, the ancients have honored and celebrated this remarkable event now happening in 2006 and 2007. This talk explores the implications of this powerful cosmological event for these times. The last lunar standstills were in 1968-1969 and 1987.

SATURDAY Seminar - Recent Developments in the Shamanic Astrology Paradigm

The Shamanic Astrology mystery school is an organic and evolving body of knowledge and experience. This workshop explores the new developments and insights that have emerged over the last ten years. Among the subjects covered will be: 1) the sacred marriage, the union of Venus, Mars and the descendent, viewed as a spiritual initiation; 2) an update on the Turning of the Ages, the end and beginning of the 26,000 precessional cycle; 3) practical applications of the lunar standstill effect; 4) new insights on addiction derived from the moon position; and 5) what it actually means for astrology to be Shamanic.

Getting to Know Daniel Giamario

Daniel Giamario is the Director of the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School and creator of the Shamanic Astrology paradigm. He joins together an academic background in Comparative Philosophy and Religion, with teaching meditation in two worldwide organizations, and extensive world travel. Daniel learned astrology in the late 1960's and was part of Dane Rudhyar's humanistic astrological movement in the 1970's. After a vision quest experience on Mount Shasta in 1981, his astrological vision and spiritual path became more earth centered and a shamanically oriented astrology was born. For many years, his specialty has been connecting astrology to the night sky at secluded locations and sacred sites to directly experience "As Above So Below". He has been a full time astrological consultant since 1984.

Shamanic Astrology has evolved as a rich blend of psychological, mythological, spiritual, and shamanistic elements, specifically designed to assist in the unfoldment of the individual's life purpose and in navigating this pivoltal point of the Turning of the Ages.

In the early 1990's Daniel Giamario, with the help of Cayelin Castell, began the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School, a land based, nomadic, and virtual curriculum for training counseling and therapeutic professionals in the use of the most important astrological tools and techniques. By the end of 2006, 36 persons will have graduated as certified Shamanic Astrologers.

Daniel's first book, The Shamanic Astrology Handbook, is available and a variety of other Shamanic Astrology books are in development. He has written numerous articles for the Mountain Astrologer and other publications. Throughout the 1980's and 1990's Daniel Giamario traveled extensively, teaching workshops all over the country in over thirty locations. He currently is traveling less, except for regularly scheduled events in the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School curriculum.

Daniel lives in Portland Oregon, with his partner Kate McKee. Together they have created the Mandala of Wholeness, a synthesis of Shamanic Astrology and Shamanic Breathwork, to powerfully and personally provide assistance to individuals in these rapidly accelerating times. Daniel is available for personal and phone consultations, lectures and workshops. Daniel Giamario is a lively and stimulating radio and television guest and hosts his own radio show on the Seventh Wave Network.

He can be reached at 11790 SW Lanewood Street, Portland Oregon, 97225, or by telephone at 503-430-1836 or 310-281-7651.
