a celestial body // a natural, normal, or proper place.
Any of the concentric and eccentric revolving spherical transparent shells in which according to ancient astronomy stars, sun, planets, and moon are set an area of activity, interest, or expertise; a section of society or an aspect of life distinguished and unified by a particular characteristic. an area of activity for a planet; or by extension, an area of influence for a god, hero etc.
“Those who think only in straight lines cannot see around a curve.” – Romina Russell
Humankind has been looking to the planets and stars for millennia, living in close relation. Only in the last centuries have we removed ourselves and looked at it from a purely intellectual perspective.
SPHERE invites us to go beyond the intellectual understanding of astrology and connect with it on a deeper, somatic level. This is what Sisa calls AstroSomatics. Astrology and somatics both offer beautiful maps for explorations. By embodying the qualities of each zodiac sign and the corresponding systems, we gain a more profound understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.
What does it feel like to embody Cardinal Earth or Mutable Water? How does the essence of Virgo resonate within you, and how does it relate to the specific house it occupies in your birth chart? What insights can we glean about our lives through the physicality of the muscles governed by Aries? These are the kinds of questions we explore in SPHERE.
Each day of the module will be dedicated to exploring two zodiac signs through a variety of practices, including free movement, dance, somatic rest, yin yoga, asana, sounding, and more. These practices are designed to offer a lived and felt sense of your birth chart, allowing you to experience the qualities of each sign on a sensory level. By playfully discovering the influence of celestial bodies and their corresponding physical manifestations, we can re-establish and deepen our ancient relationship with the planetary sphere.
Through this immersive approach, SPHERE seeks to reconnect us with the cosmic rhythms and energies that have guided human experience throughout history. By delving into both our physical bodies and celestial archetypes, we unlock new pathways for self-discovery, gaining a holistic understanding of our astrological blueprint.
