Astrology & Fascial Fitness Workshop

Fascia is a web-like membrane of connective tissue that completely invests our bodies from the surface of the skin to deep within the bone. It holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber, and muscle in place. It is also our largest sensory organ making it is as sensitive as skin. When fascia becomes injured, it becomes tangled and disorderly, leading to stiffness, aches, and minimized movement within the body. Research is beginning to show that fascia also stores emotional energy and memory.

 

In astrology, the asteroid Chiron, The Wounded Healer, tells the story in each of our natal charts of the wound we hold as a result of ancestral and past life emotional pain. It is the wound our soul chose to heal in this life. Chiron manifests early in our lives, and perhaps, continues into our later years as a place of pain and "stuckness" within us. Until the wound is fully understood, it remains a barrier to our becoming our truest, most authentic selves. As the wound is healed, we become The Wounded Healer in our own way.

 

In this workshop, we presuppose that we all hold this wound within our own fascia. The more the Chiron wound is denied or dismissed, the greater the fascial entanglement becomes. Through emotional work and joyful embodied movement our wound and our injured fascia can be released and healed.

 

This workshop will begin with an overview of Chiron in the natal chart. Participants will be guided through a lesson about Chiron, and we will interpret how the wound is likely to manifest in each participant's life, according to the astrological sign of Chiron in their natal chart and the qualities of the element (fire, earth, air, water) each sign is associated with. We'll also talk about which body parts are ruled by which signs.

 

Our overall health affects the health of our fascia and good fascial hygiene contributes to our overall health. At the root of health is balanced homeostatic regulation. In the second half of the workshop there will be a brief overview about fascia which will connect the four Fascial Fitness training principles to the four astrological elements. This will be followed by a sequence integrating the four training principles to release and nourish the fascial system to promote physical and emotional well-being. Participants may experience additional insights that help release and integrate their Chironic wounding. 

 

We will end the workshop with group conversation about the morning's experiences.
