Practices for this day retreat include:   Yoga + Pranayama Techniques to Cool + Soften Vedic Astrology with Special Guest Seth Cassidy Lassi Recipe for the Summer Heat Making your own Hydrosol Cooling Face Mist   Vedic Astrology: Vedic Astrology translates as the “science of light” and originates from the vedic traditions of India. Vedic astrology describes the planetary patterns at the time of our birth and can give valuable clues to understanding our life’s journey. Cosmic influences can forecast the changing trends in our lives and enable us to make empowered choices moving forward with our career, relationships, and personal growth. Astrology can reveal a lot about the nature of our life experiences as they unfold in time.  One method of examining what an individual can expect from a given period is to look at planetary transits relative to one’s natal horoscope.  While every transiting planet is important to consider, the transits of the planet Saturn are known to be an extremely important determinant in the timing of crucial, developmental chapters of an individual’s life.  In this workshop, Seth will discuss the meaning and importance of Saturn’s transits through the twelve houses of the astrological chart and help you to better understand where you are currently at within Saturn’s approximate 29.5-year cycle. Special Guest Seth Cassidy: A teacher by profession and a practicing astrologer for the past four years, Seth has given hundreds of readings to people from all walks of life and from all around the world.  Throughout 2017, Seth served as the organizer for the Portland Astrology Meetup, where he taught many lessons on chart interpretation fundamentals. Since then, Seth has been expanding his astrology practice by tutoring with professional astrologers, giving readings at festivals and retreats, and hosting workshops upon request. Seth combines insights gleaned from both the Western and Vedic systems
