Last Bell for Chiron 101 Summer School!

Dear Radical Readers,

If you’ve been thinking about attending my upcoming Chiron 101 Summer School, don’t wait any longer! Admissions close at midnight Pacific Daylight time on July 9, 2011. We already have a attendees lined up from across the US, and from Europe and Australia. I am looking forward to playing Chiron in this e-mail format Mt. Pelion, the place the mythical centaur cranked out heroes in ancient Greece. This is a wonderful group of people, as told by the bios they’re sharing with the class. It’s not too late to join the party.

As a special incentive, here’s a $14-off coupon for anyone who already belongs to—or joins—my monthly new Moongram e-mail list.

I’m starting a new diet that involves eating a lot of fruit, so send me a virtual apple for the teacher. My favorite kind are Fuji. Instead of the 3 R’s (reading, ‘riting, and ‘rithmetic), when it comes to Chiron, we’ll be exploring SAM: sociology, astronomy/astrology and mythology.

If you have to sit out this class, I’ll likely repeat it sometime in 2012—and I’ll be sure, in-between, to share how this first experiment in learning goes. I am very excited about this adventure!

Running to get to class on time,

Joyce

Chiron 101 Summer School

Announcing an E-Course on Chiron

© 2011 by Joyce Mason

All Rights Reserved

My Q&A guest sessions in February on Donna Cunningham’s Sky Writer showed me how hungry people are for more information on Chiron.* In response, I’ll be teaching a six-week online class on Chiron conducted by group e-mail. I have taken writing classes this way and just love the format.

The idea: I e-mail a lesson on Mondays and Thursdays, sent to the class via the group e-mail list. There are always questions at the end for response and comment. We will use your own charts to illustrate examples and for overall learning, as part of the course.

Each individual responds to the questions and Replies All. We have ongoing dialogue—and, at the end of the six-week session, we have produced an e-mail reference “book” of our learning together on Chiron. (Just keep a folder for the class in your e-mail box.) Here are the particulars.

This class may be offered on a periodic basis, and/or a second-level class may follow, depending on volume of interest and my schedule. However, this is the only time it will be offered in 2011.

Here’s the short outline of what will be covered in the six weeks:

Week 1: Overview of Chiron, the “School,” and Chiron’s myth as a typical Greek drama

Week 2: Mythology Class – Most of what we know about Chiron is from the myth after which this first-discovered centaur planet was named

Week 3: Astronomy and Social Studies Classes – Astronomical factors and cultural changes that add to our interpretation of Chiron’s meaning

Week 4: Astrology Class – Chiron Signs and Houses

Week 5: Astrology Class – Chiron Aspects and Transits

Week 6: Astrology Class – Synthesis and Your Continuing Discovery of Chiron

Why summer? Why not? For those who sunburn easily or aren’t at the beach for any other reason, we’ll create a play date for learning.

I’m thrilled to offer this opportunity and look forward to getting to know many of you better as a result of it.

A Time-Sensitive Announcement

Dear Radical Readers,

As mentioned in my monthly New Moongram (subscribe at the top of the sidebar if you don’t already get it), I’m in the midst of two guest Q&A sessions about Chiron on Donna Cunningham’s remarkable blog, Sky Writer. The first session on February 5 focused primarily on natal Chiron. It was a lively exchange with excellent questions by a very engaged audience. These little centaur kids are my symbol for having the right playful spirit in learning. Bring yourself and your inner centaur-child to the festivities!

Chiron Transit Q&A. The next session on Saturday, February 12 begins at 1:30 pm PST and focuses on Chiron transits. Donna’s Chiron Alert announcement has all the details including a link to view the February 5ths Q&A. While it’s not necessary to be there in real time to read the next exchange (you can always visit Sky Writer later), to ask a question, you need to be on Sky Writer at the appointed hour, ready to pop your question into the comment box. I’ll only take 25 questions, so if you have one on Chiron transits that’s burning for you, get there early for a better chance to get your question into the queue.

Chiron 101 Summer School. And by the way, here’s something to start pondering. I’m planning to do a Chiron 101 Summer School for six weeks in July and August. It will be an online class conducted by group e-mail. I have taken writing classes this way and just love the format. The idea: I write a “lesson” on Mondays and Thursdays, sent to the class via the group e-mail list. There are always questions at the end for response and comment. Each individual Replies All, and we have ongoing dialogue—and, at the end, an e-mail “book” of our learning together. (Just keep a folder for the class in your e-mail box.) There will be a generous discount for early sign-up by mid-June. If you’re interested in this offering and want an e-mail when registration is open, please contact me (joyce at joycemason.com) with Chiron Class in the header.

Till the next offering on my Mobile Mt. Pelion,

Joyce
