Description
This optional additional offering invites those interested in astrological archetypes to explore how hidden dynamics show up in natal charts and transits. We will engage astrology as a relational practice of listening to what is beneath the surface, leaving behind the idea of astrology as a tool for prediction. Participants will learn to sense what stories are living in the chart, what is nudging us toward consciousness, and how to meet what is emerging with care and curiosity.
Here is a note from Carol Ferris, the Facilitator of the Jungian Astrology portion of our workshop:
In the field of the natal horoscope – an origin story of arrival and adaptation – there are places in the field where an astrologer looks for secrets.
We can look for secrets as the Unconscious, in the horoscope, the 12th House, the place in the field of arrival where something or someone in our story remains “Unborn”, or located in the Collective Unconscious; where something in us remains connected to the Infinity of Being, rather than arriving in the Finite world. We can also look to the 12th House for all issues of privacy, and privacy invaded: where in our life is nobody’s business but ours, and our relationship to the Divine, and what happens when that place is invaded, or interrupted, or receives no respect in a culture or family where only the material world has reality?
We can look for secrets as illusion (dreaming, imagining) and delusion (rejection of evidence), the presence and relationships of the archetypal energy embodied in the planet/mythological figure of Neptune, the God of the Oceans. Where do we want to let go of ourselves, of our separateness, and what are the consequences to us and to Other when we dissolve into something bigger than we are, and who are we when we “come back”? Whether it’s a personal relationship, a family member, a movie, a book – what is the bigger “fantasy” that absorbs us and may or may not intersect with the phenomenal world?
We can look – for family secrets/contracts especially – at the root of the chart, the Immum Coeli (IC or Inner Heaven) of the chart, and the dynamics of the 3rd and 4th Houses of Clan and Family that are tied to that root: what historical, familial contracts tie us to their past, for good and for ill? And how does the root grow itself out into our relationships in the public world – the MC (Media Coeli, where we are visible and successful on the world’s terms), and into our partnerships and communities?
Sarah and astrologer Carol Ferris will work with individual horoscopes and stories to illuminate our processes of clarity around secrets through a study of the birth chart in this class.
Where?
The course will meet via zoom. We welcome participants from all time zones who wish to learn asynchronously for some or all of the sessions. Recordings and visuals will be made available to those who are registered for the live program (typically available within 72 hours of the live session).
When?
The schedule will be as follows:
Friday, June 26, 2026: 9am-12pm, 1pm-3pm
Saturday, June 27, 2026: 9am-12pm, 1pm-3pm

What To Expect
Each day we alternate between short lectures on neuroscience and constellation concepts with mini-constellations to explore and practice the concepts, and then we do large group constellations. If you’re a visual learner you can imagine small islands of didactic learning, surrounded by slightly larger islands of small-group learning, and then interspersed with large, full-group constellations. Small group work will be done in small groups or dyads via breakout groups on zoom.
Constellations facilitated by Sarah will alternate with Constellations facilitated by Masterclass participants, interspersed with large and small group learning. Both being a facilitator and being a seeker happen by lottery. Only participants who have attended other master series sessions with Sarah will be eligible to be facilitators. Not all participants will have a chance to be a seeker or a facilitator.
What You'll Learn
Over this 3-day workshop series, participants will:
- Develop sensitivity to the energy of secrets in the field
- Learn ways to work with shame, silence, and protection in a constellation setting
- Explore how to meet secrecy with warmth, clarity, and respect
- Strengthen their ability to follow subtle movements in the system
Who is This Course For?
These sessions are intended for people who are interested in learning about constellation facilitation and how constellation work transforms and heals. Both experienced and new facilitators are welcome. Student facilitators will have opportunities for supervision and support from Sarah Peyton. Sometimes, personal growth and transformation happen coincidentally, but personal work for participants isn’t the main focus of the offerings in the masterclass series.
