Celebrating the Magical Connection of Earth and Sky
Dear First name / TOTAMS Friend,
Thank you to all who continue to express interest in my 2025 in-person Apprenticeship Programs.
As iterated in previous emails, increasing interest in these experiences has prompted me to expand the vision for 2025. I feel that itās important to be able to share in an intimate way the sacred places that have so inspired my journey and formed the philosophical, spiritual and experiential foundation of our school. In 2024 I was able to share the exact location of where my 1981 Mount Shasta Vision Quest experience happened with a group of TOTAMS astrologers. In 2025 I am now planning to share with small groups of no more than 10 participants at least three of the other locations that mean so much to me.
Beyond requesting donations for my gas and lodging expenses, these adventures will not have a cost.
The Joshua Tree excursion in April went so well that I am intending to offer another chance later in the year. Also note that I HAVE ONCE AGAIN RECONSIDERED DATES to make it easier for folks attending our live events and in consideration of having dark skies.
Fishlake Valley Petroglyph Site
September 14-17
Located in Central Nevada, next to the White Mountains, this is a master hierophany petroglyph site that I found. Many years ago the school facilitated camping retreats here. It has also been first choice for my solo retreats.
Sunday, September 14
Arrive to Tonopah, Nevada, as a staging ground. We will be in motels, unless you have a van. The site is about a 45-minute drive from Tonopah and quite hard to find. Therefore we will caravan down together the next morning. I plan to arrive the night of September 14 and check it outā¦..If you know how to get there, arrive on Sunday night and camp.
Monday, September 15
Camping: we will camp that night. This will be wilderness camping, there are no facilities.
Tuesday, September 16
Camping: same as above
Wednesday, September 17
Break camp and depart.
WATCH THIS!
Faywood Hot Springs
September 21-28/29
I am also offering in-person apprenticeship during the Faywood Hot Springs Cosmology Intensive in September, but it is limited to 3-4 persons and two have already requested this.
September 29 has been added for the apprenticeship group to embark on a field trip to two utterly unique and amazing petroglyph sites in the area.
Joshua Tree, Wonderland of Rocks: The Return
October 7-10
This is where the specific instructions to develop the school and our most unique astrological paradigm have been transmitted. There are many campgrounds in and outside the park near Joshua Tree town, but the Wonderland of Rocks itself is not a campsite. It's about a 90-minute flat hike to this location.
Wednesday, October 7
Arrive to your motel or camp ground.
Thursday, October 8
Exploring the Wonderland of Rocks. Possibly your own Astrological Vision Quest.
Friday, October 9
Same as Thursday
Saturday, October 10
Depart
The in-person Oracle TOTAMS All School Gathering has been rescheduled for October 12-17. More news on that coming soon!
