Astrology 101 Workshop
with Leslie McGuirk

June 10-17, 2023

The more tumultuous the times, the greater the need to revert to ancient wisdoms like Astrology.

There is nothing we humans have invented to compare with the artwork of Nature and the Cosmos. One of the best ways to understand our place in the Universe is through the esoteric science of Astrology, and Leslie McGuirk is pleased to announce her next astrology workshop at Rancho La Puerta, June 2023.

The aim of this workshop is to pass on to the participants a deeper knowledge about the basics of astrology. A foundational knowledge of astrology is needed to take this class. If you don’t already have this, Leslie is willing to give her Astrology 101 online course to anyone interested in attending this speciality week at the Ranch. The online Astrology 101(valued at $600) is complimentary with your 7 night reservation in this program.

On completion you will be able to read your own natal chart and those of others. This is incredibly useful information to obtain, as you can will be able to better understand all the people in your life. Most of her students realize that there is no better way to bring peace into your life, as Astrology helps to explain why people are the way they are.

Here is a quote from a former student:

“Leslie is a creative and inspiring teacher who has developed a unique method to make this complicated subject accessible to enquiring and receptive minds that would prefer learning to be an enjoyable experience rather than an academic slog.”

Leslie teaches this once a year in person, so if you are interested this is the time to sign up.
We’d love to have you on board for this trip to the stars and back!

With best wishes,
Leslie McGuirk’s Astrology Wisdom Academy
