My Latest Project: Nightlight Astrology 08/21/2010
 Five years ago I had a powerful spiritual awakening while drinking Ayahuasca (a visionary plant medicine) with traditional curanderos (healers) in the Amazon Junglesnear Iquitos, Peru. I recently published a book about my experiences called,"Fishers of Men: The Gospel of an Ayahuasca Vision Quest." Over the course of the past five years and eighty-plus ayahuasca ceremonies I was guided by ceremonial visions into a study of the planets and heavenly bodies. Having never studied astrology, and knowing only as much as my horoscope"sign" from popular magazines, I started receiving archetypal lessons during ayahuasca ceremonies, all of which regarded the various planets and heavenly movements of our solar system. Nightlight Astrology was born out of my increasingly deep respect for the science of spiritual evolution; as well as my deepest respect for the power of astrological counseling. The more I study these ancient arts and offer my developing guidance to others, the more humbled I am by the rich lessons of life and human history. I know now without a doubtthat I am an eternal student of the movements and patterns of the universe. I know this as much as I trust that life is eternal. Before I began to study astrology for myself, I had always heard of astrology in terms of its predictive ability. Astrologers, as I understood them, were fortune tellers. The premise of astrology was that our fate was pre-determined and somehow locked into the stars above our head. It turns out that's not what astrology is about at all. Like so many foreign traditions poorly transferred into popular culture, astrological horoscopes from magazines, and fortune tellers, are poor representations of the ancient art of astrology. The vision of Nightlight Astrology is to salvage the study and art of astrological counseling from the grips of misunderstandings and stereotypes. To provide readings, counseling,education, and training for absolutely anybody who is interested. Nobody gets priced out from either receiving astrology counseling or from training to be an astrological counselor. Whatever anybody has to offer will be accepted with 100% gratitude and all services and education ceaselessly given from the heart. By the year 2015 it is my goal to have created a community of astrologers and a four year Astrologer's Training School. The mastery of astrology counseling will not come by studying under select master astrologers, like a traditional apprenticeship, and certainly not by my personality. But rather, the mastery of our astrology practice will come through our commitment to personal and group study and transformation. In my opinion this democratic learning model has its roots inthe world's most ancient mystery schools and philosophical academies. Until 2015 Nightlight Astrology will run successive 1 year intensive trainings as preparation for the 4 year program that will begin in 2015. My hope is to staff the 4 year program in 2015 with graduates from the 1 year intensives. I am not looking to make an extraordinary profit from Nightlight Astrology. I believe that now, more than ever, all of us need to live within our means and escape from a debt-based model of economics. I want to grow closer to the divine, and I want others to grow closer to the divine. My business goal is the simplest: I am building a company that is devoted to giving the wisdom of astrology to others as freely as possible. Nightlight Astrologers will be committed to offering their services, throughout their lives, on a donation basis. Training to be a Nightlight Astrologer in these formative years will be based entirely on donation as well. If anybody wants to study astrology intensely and learn to counsel and educate others with astrology, then they should not feel priced out of training, either. The desire to be educated and to learn about the human spirit is a rare inspiration that should not be afforded to only those who are very wealthy. Starting this October, I am eager to deepen my own studies with a group of like minded astrology students in the first one year intensive training (check out the website for more information). In the meantime, I am beyond eager to work with absolutely anybody who is interested in studying their birth chart. Please visit "Donation Based Astrology" at Having a vision is an amazing thing. It feels like fate when you have a vision. It feels like you can see the future. But having the courage to follow your dreams and the heart-power to do what you must is bigger than any vision. It's bigger than your fate. Making decisions in life is about spiritual discipleship and evolution. It's about knowing and facing yourself on the deepest levels. It's about servanthood and teaching what you've learned. Along this path of courage the sun and the stars and the moon are like lampposts. It's important that we understand them because they can help guide us. When we enter into an intimate realtionship with the cosmos, the heavens can illuminate the path in front of us and the world within us, until moment by moment we reach our goals, we touch divinity, and we begin life again for the first time.
