Medicine and Astrology
with Cornelis Van Damen and Agostino Dominici (astrologer)
A fascinating look at the traditional use of astrology in medicine and what one can revive of it today. A practical workshop. To see the universe from its (spiritual) origins: from whence we came and thus return. ‘The more man is removed from Nature, the more problems are created’.
The four parts of the lecture:
1. Introducing Man as a cosmic being: macrocosm and microcosm. The origin of Admon Kadmon; man as an expression of the rhythm of the universe. Does the sun revolve around the earth and other anomalies? Ptolemy versus Copernicus and other incommodious thoughts.
2. The Role of the fixed and moving stars in life: embryology and incarnation –excarnation; the four ages of man (first four seven-year cycles influences: sun, moon, planets, constellations). How the stars live in the blood.
3. Practical Application of medical astrology for the holistic practitioner: organs, planets and plants; Paracelsus, Culpepper, Papus et al; salts and zodiac; solar, lunar, planetary & zodiacal influences in disease. Always first ask the question what influence has the weather, seasons, etc in the patient’s complaint or epidemic for it is astrology in action.
4. The Astrology Chart: the construction of the astrology chart and its interpretation of an individual’s life, disease and death; what this can reveal to the astrologically adept physician. The decumbiture chart is one cast at the time of the person taking ill or for diagnosis. [This section presented by the astrologer Agostino Dominici]

Four Constitutions & Temperaments
A Two Day Workshop With Salim Khan and Philip Weeks
Did you know there is a way to understand yourself and your patients that is more than 2,000 years old and yet little used today? If you are a health practitioner this workshop will give you a fascinating insight into the temperaments and characters of your patients. Whether your patient is predominantly sanguine, melancholic, phlegmatic or choleric can have a major influence on the causes, development and treatment of dis-ease. Understanding the patterns of physical, emotional and mental health of these 4 basic temperaments can help you to understand both your patients and yourself better.
The common heritage of Traditional Medicine is the understanding that a balance of the humours (black bile, yellow bile, phlegm and blood) results in good health. When the humours are out of balance then there is dis-ease.
Over the course of the weekend:
Learn about the 4 Humours and Temperaments.
Learn how to identify an individual constitution, which will form an important foundation to lifestyle andherbal prescriptions.
Learn how the 4 Humours are reflected in personality and emotions.
Understanding the constitution of an individual is the foundation of all classical traditions of medicine, whether it is Western Herbal Medicine from Greece and Europe or Ayurveda, Traditional Arabic Medicine (TIBB) and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
This day is especially useful for herbalists, homeopaths, naturopaths and nutritionists, although anyone is welcome to participate.Understanding the dynamics within yourself and your patients is the foundation of a successful practice.
The day is presented by two highly respected and experienced practitioners.
