The 2006 Astrological Association Conference
|
 |
With twenty-two highly experienced speakers from USA, Europe, the key UK astrology schools and organisations; the Association’s 38th Annual Conference offered a feast of astro-wisdom and a wonderful family sense of community. Delegates enjoyed the convenient and comfortable surroundings. The arrival of two reporters from The Independent newspaper a day after the exact Saturn/Neptune opposition auspiciously provided positive publicity in the Saturday press. |
Highly popular was Bernadette Brady receiving the Harvey Award for Exceptional Service to Astrology and her moving acceptance speech. The Award was presented by past-recipient Sue Tompkins.

Sue gave this year’s Carter Memorial Lecture - The Macrocosm-Microcosm Picture Show. She was as entertaining as ever; although a recent accident obliged her to work from a wheel chair.
The times seemed that challenging for Council Members (the courageous organisers of the event) and many of the other delegates present. That we all made it there and were totally glad we had speaks volumes for the positive and transformative capacity of working with astrological understanding.
Memorable Conference quotation "A Chihuahua is very small, but it is still a dog" ~ Gloria Star commenting on the I.A.U.’s Pluto vote.
