Our annual Open House and Fundraiser will feature four brief talks from local students and community members on how they are using Astrology in their own field of work or study. We will also have silent auction items, a live auction in-between talks and food for guests! Any donation and auction proceeds to go to support PSA for the 2014-2015 school year!

ZEDTalk 2014 Topics
ZEDTalk no. 1:
Kent Bye on Virtual Reality and Astrology
The world of VR presents astrologers with a number of new ways to experience astrological signatures, and to explore the dynamics of a natal chart and how it changes over time. VR will help astrologers to recover the third dimension of the night sky that has been lost to the convenience of compressing a 3D world onto a 2D plane. For the first time ever, we will be able to finely control the input to our perceptual system and this has huge implications for what type of experiences we will be able to create and share with each other.
ZEDTalk no. 2:
Shelley Stearns on Wings, Stings and Arrows: The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993
With Sagittarius rising and a stellium in Scorpio, the natal chart for the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA) tells a story about the role of religion, spirituality and secular life in the United States and asks what we collectively aspire for these to be. An engaging combination of astrology with history and politics meant to spark real conversations about religious freedom, the role we believe our government should play in protecting and/or promoting it and what this means for individuals and the institutions we create.
ZEDTalk no. 3:
Casey Cardoso on AstroKinesiology
The use of a natal chart to examine how Saturn and Mars may effect individuals chronic pain issues or acute issues due to a transit. An examination of the astral body vibration and energy that follow dermatomes with the use of a tapping technique that is yielding incredible success of chronic cases and shorter recovery in acute cases.
ZEDTalk no. 4:
Ezra Sandzer-Bell on AstroMusik
ASTROMUSIK is designed as an art-piece and represents a mutation of multiple coinciding influences. The philosophical basis of the book draws from an Ancient Greek lineage of thought called the Harmony of the Spheres. Ezra speculates about the influence of Western Astrology, Alchemy, and Kabbalah upon the development of techniques common to Western music and tonal harmony. Based on a book written by Erza Sandzer-Bell titled AstroMusik.
