Discover Your Personal Daimon: A 6-Week Journey
CURRENTLY CLOSED – JOIN THE WAITLIST TO FIND OUT WHEN THE NEXT COURSE BEGINS!
Have you ever felt yourself being pulled towards something? A calling to paint, write, dance, sing, travel, teach…? Whatever you’ve felt, and whether you’ve followed that call or not, that is the work of your personal Daimon.
The Daimon goes by many names and guises. For some, it’s their Holy Guardian Angel. For others, it’s their calling. Others see it as trickster, or worse, a demon.
In this 6-week online program, we explore the cultural variations on the Daimon, its origins and why it’s been so sought after (intellectually, spiritually or otherwise) for thousands of years.
We’ll focus on the use of astrology to understand the personal Daimon, identify your own daimonic experiences, and discover the spirit of your personal Daimon. In addition, we will look at several other techniques and ancient methods to communicate with your Daimon.
If you’ve been aching to learn more about the guiding force in your life, and feel ready to dive deeper into this exploration of the self, spirit and beyond… then I’d love to invite you to this journey with me.
“If we are to find creative ways of living together and healing both culture and nature, the awakening of individual genius may be the deepest, most imaginative way to approach the seemingly impossible tasks that face us all.”
Michael Meade

"The daimon alone moves all, governs all, orders all our affairs. For it perfects the reason, moderates passions, inspires nature, maintains the body, provides the accidentals, fulfils the decrees of fate and bestows gifts from providence; and this one being is king of all that is in us and all that has to do with us, steering our whole life.”
