"Heal and Awaken" Workshop in Asheville
This Saturday New Love Offering Option!

Benjamin's "Heal and Awaken" workshop will be this Saturday, Oct. 15 at Crystal Visions, just south of Asheville, NC. The workshop will focus on simple, potent invocations for self-healing, spiritual awakening and channeling energy to others.
Participants may choose a half-day workshop from 10 am to 1 pm, or a full-day immersion from 10 am - 5 pm.
Regular tuition for the half-day option is $44. The full-day immersion is $77. (Half-day participants may purchase the second half for $33 extra during the lunch break, space permitting.) Satisfaction guaranteed: anyone who is not pleased with the workshop will be entitled to a full refund.
New Love Offering Payment Option!
We are also now offering a love offering payment option: show up and pay what you like! Love offering participants will be admitted on a space-available basis.
Large- and small-group processes will be included in the workshop. Individual work between Benjamin and selected volunteers will be energetically supported by the group; those paying full tuition will be given priority for individual healing work.
Group processes will include expanded light body awareness, conscious merging with the Higher Self, and the integration of the light body and physical body.
The guiding principle behind the "Heal and Awaken" work is that a person needs no special skills or training to call in divine healing and awakening. The only requirement is the ability to create a clear, simple invocation.

Celestial Forecast: Oct. 10-16 by Benjamin Bernstein
Whatever your sun sign, this forecast will help you choose how to best use the current astrological energies! Events are most powerful on the dates listed. However, their influence will be active for at least several days before and after. All dates and times are in the U.S. eastern time zone.
While everyone is affected by these global transits, you will be most powerfully impacted when moving planets activate natal planets and other sensitive points in your birth chart.
VOID-OF-COURSE MOONS. It's best to avoid starting important new projects or making major purchases during these times. "Business as usual" is the best strategy for these periods, which occur when the Moon has made its last major Ptolemaic aspect but has not yet moved into the next sign. Learn more here. 10/12, 8:09 pm - 9:37 pm (Taurus) 10/15, 6:52 am - 10:16 am (Gemini) 10/10 (Mon). With Venus quincunx Uranus, what positive paradigm shifts and adjustments can you bring to your relationships, creativity and finances? Be sure to honor any intuitive flashes firing in these areas!
10/11 (Tue). October's Full Moon illuminates the sky at 10:06 PM (18°24' Aries). Make adjustments if you're not completely "full-filled" with your assertiveness, sexuality, athletic regimen, and ability to get things started. This lunation also has a strong "reality check" flavor, with Saturn tightly opposing the Moon. If challenges are arising, take a realistic look at what's actually happening. From this objective perspective, you can more effectively take action to bring the situation into harmony. This Full Moon's Sabian Symbol is, "A magic carpet hovers over the depressing reality of everyday life in an industrial area." This striking juxtaposition of images reminds us how perspective colors perception. This bleak industrial scene could bum you out if your awareness is limited to the physical world. But from magic carpet level - a metaphor for a more awakened consciousness - things are simply seen and accepted as they are, with no negative emotions or thoughts. From which level are you viewing the world?
10/12 (Wed). Your mind can receive the flow of intuitive insight more easily with Mercury trine Neptune. And, with Mercury in Libra, your Muse may be singing to you loud and clear!
10/13 (Thu). This week's strong series of Venus aspects continues with a sextile to Pluto. Financial abundance could be at hand, since both Pluto and Scorpio, Venus' current sign, can represent great wealth! Powerful and harmonious transformation in the field of relationship and creativity are other possible manifestations of this aspect. Mercury is in Scorpio today through 11/2, helping your mind dig deep into whatever mysteries or occult subjects most fascinate you. If today's Sun-Saturn conjunction has you feeling funky, throwing yourself into a project may lift your spirits - this aspect is excellent for productivity! Alternatively, a feeling of depression may simply be trying to slow you down enough to receive an important message, and may be happy to move on once you've received it. Finally, a Mercury-Chiron trine makes this an excellent time to consult with a mentor, or give sagely advice to others!
10/14 (Fri). Tune into your intuitive flashes as Mercury quincunxes Uranus, even if they're calling for unexpected course adjustments. And, with Venus opposing Jupiter, observe your relationships carefully: whatever's going on, good or bad, will be highlighted. This can also be a time of increased financial luck, as well as abundant creative energy!
10/16 (Sun). Don't just obsess about sex with Scorpionic Mercury sextile Pluto: research, detective work, shared resources and mental transformation can also productively occupy your thoughts!
