My astrological seminars and conference lectures over several years have taken me to a dozen different countries including the US, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, several European countries, and aboard luxury liners as an enrichment lecturer.
RUSSIA…..My trip to Russia in September, 2006
was monumental. I was there as guest lecturer of the School of
Classical Astrology. I delivered 2 conference lectures as well
as a pre-conference seminar workshop.
Here I am doing a full day seminar on Geodetics with the Geodetic World map in background. I wrote a book called Geodetic World Map
With Nick Strachuk, Dir of Classical School of Astrology (recently deceased, in Red Square in Moscow.
Astrology in Russia is very popular with at least four main schools that accumulatively teach several hundred students. They are serious, quizzical and very eager to absorb material presented to them. They are gracious, kind and receptive.
My interpreter, Kamala Melic-Akhnazarova on my right. She was wonderful to work with and did not loose a beat between sentences.
I currently Vice-President of ISAR (Intn’l Society of Astrological Research) and as such have also been Chair of several committees that developed a global certification program over a period of about 6 years. The entire program is presently being translated and adopted in Russia as well as several other countries. I am very gratified to be part of this futuristic thrust of astrology into the 21st Century.
BELGRADE…
March found me in Belgrade as a guest lecturer at the 7th Balkan International
Astrology Conference called East meets West. The conference coordinator
is a very gifted and talented astrologer named Aleksandar Imsiragic and
his wife Lea. They are also Directors and teachers at the Kepler
Institute for Astrological Research and Education.
From the West were speakers from Argentina, the USA, and myself from
Canada. From the East speakers were from Russia, Slovenia, and Serbia.
It was a wonderful sharing of information and appreciation of each other's
knowledge and skills. I gave 2 conference lectures as well as a pre-conference
seminar. This Institute is also preparing students for the ISAR Certification
Program which is being translated into the Serbian Language.
