Thank you for a great retreat!

The STAR staff would like to thank Demetra George and everyone who attended the 2012 South Texas Astrology Retreat.
It was both a relaxing and inspiring weekend with a wealth of information and astrological insight. Demetra did a wonderful job presenting the tradition in a practical and useable approach for modern astrologers.
Thank you also to Elizabeth Rojas for preparing such thoughtful and delicious meals for everyone. Lastly, thank you again to the Margaret Austin Center for having us.
For those of you who would like to stay in touch during the year, we have set up a new email discussion list for organizing and participating in quarterly group meet-ups. The meet-ups are open to past and future STAR participants in the area with an interest in Traditional Astrology. If you would like to be included in these communications, please subscribe here.
“The focus of this weekend will be not only a mastery of the methods, but more importantly the presentation of a view that moves traditional astrology beyond the perception of it as a limiting astral fatalism. If our intention as modern counselors is to empower the individual by healing the psyche, knowing how to clearly identify the planetary patterns that indicate the deep and pervasive suffering of the soul is the first step in spiritual guidance towards transforming pain into happiness. The teachings of this weekend will be placed within a contextual view that helps us to use this ancient wisdom system to maximize the potentialities of the human spirit.”
You asked for it, you got it!
In an effort to continue the study and practice of the methods presented annually at the STAR retreat, a small Austin, Texas based study group is reforming and meeting on monthly basis.
The STAR staff would like to thank Rob Hand and everyone who attended the 2011 South Texas Astrology Retreat.
