UPCOMING SEMINARS
Brenda Johnson (Ari-dis)
Brenda is a healing arts practitioner who has a history as an astrologer, educator, professional nurse, counsellor. Brenda has been a practicing astrologer, taught astrology (Calgary and Winnipeg), has had an astrology based radio show (These Changing Times, CKUW), and a podcast (Gimli Lite – the Land of the Gods and Goddesses). Astrological studies varied but primarily studied Shamanic Astrology (now called The Turning of the Ages Mystery School) with Daniel Giamario and Cayelin Castell. This also led to work with the medicine, ayahuasca. Therapeutically embracing a range of alternative healing practices and formally studying homoeopathy, she was the first student of homoeopathy in Manitoba. She created her own consulting business called Good Medicine, has had a professional practice in teaching (Red River Community College, Robertson, Wpg. Tech.) in FN communities, with the government of Manitoba (first Home Care Instructor), with immigrant women and internationally (China, Malaysia). Professionally practiced in cross cultural settings, setting up nursing stations (West Coast – Kitkatla, Dolphin Island, Hartley Bay, Kincolith,BC) and for the last 7 years has been working in mental health, with the Inuit on another island Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut (where the astrocartography Venus line runs through!).
A love for the beauty and rich meaning of the Heavens and the Symbolic Cycles has always guided her on her path, along with the wisdom of the feminine goddesses: Lillith, Sedna, Eris connected to her nodal path, the birth of Chariklo conjunct her Venus and Pallas Athene to her Pluto. “My greatest love and guide has always been astrology. It has helped me to understand myself and others, to be more compassionate and loving and to expand the human experience. It spoke the language that I understood in engaging the world. The language described the ‘energy’ that is around us. Now in retrospect, I realize that the Mystery of the Dark Night, was engagement with the Soul. And living in a culture where we neither learned of the Soul nor had a language for that inner dimension, astrology provided that language.”
