Evolutionary Astrology- Planets
Sunday May 3rd, 2026 
9-11am

$80

Emma Vasseur will be back at The Healing Shack in Lime Springs, Iowa on Sunday, May 3rd for another Evolutionary Astrology workshop 

This time, we’ll be exploring the planets in the birth chart — their archetypal meanings and how they shape our inner world and lived experience. We’ll begin with a brief overview of the chart as a whole, then move into a guided journey through each planet to better understand the many parts of ourselves they represent.

This workshop is open to those who have been joining us in our previous Evolutionary Astrology workshops as well as anyone new who feels curious. Learning the language of the planets can deepen self-awareness, support compassion for others, and help us recognize aspects of ourselves that often live outside of conscious awareness.

Come as you are — whether you’re continuing your exploration or just getting started
