From Our Founder Daniel Giamario:

Our live in-person gatherings are at the very heart of the Turning of The Ages Mystery
School. Here we gather face-to-face and soul-to-soul as living, breathing human beings.
I love it when I can be there with you in-person, as I shall in April 2025.

Our school has a tradition of yearly All School Gatherings. Unlike more formal courses
and teaching events, these gatherings feature offerings and teachings from a variety of
members of the school as well as special guests.

Our time together also includes evenings under the night sky and around the fire. Musical
performances are planned. Most importantly, we provide an opportunity to share with
others in circle, ceremony and in learning. All levels of astrological background are welcome.

I hope to see you there!

Narrative

Plan to arrive in time to check in to your room, have dinner and be at the opening circle. Each day will have a similar flow. Evening activities will be largely based on weather conditions.
Since we are meeting during the week before the New Moon, we will be blessed by dark skies. All the visible planets are well placed for viewing: Mercury, Venus and Saturn in the morning sky, with Mars and Jupiter in the evening sky. Daniel and Gemini Brett will have the opportunity to share the wonders of the night sky.

Presenters and Presentations

Note: There will be advanced and beginner level presentations.

Daniel Giamario

The Turning of the Ages

A Great Turning of the Ages is from 1962-2034. This includes the convergences of many astrological, cosmological, and historical timelines. Daniel will share the latest research on this, plus the latest on the end of the Kali Yuga in 2025. Other features of this presentation include an update on the United States horoscope and the topic of the splitting of timelines. As always, navigation strategies for these times will be shared.

Daniel Giamario

The 4 Outer Planet Ingresses of 2025

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all enter new signs in 2025. Some say that this has not been seen to have happened before. Each of these ingresses will be explored. The history of each will be considered. Daniel will delve into the intent of these planetary initiations, and suggest navigation approaches in alignment with these tremendous opportunities, personally and collectively.

If you are in any cycles with these planets, for sure they will be addressed!

Daniel Giamario

TOTAMS’ Vision and its Spiritual and Philosophical Foundations

Daniel will share about the vision of our school in its trajectory since 1981 and even before. Originally formulated on the foundation of the brilliance of Dane Rudhyar, who blended Jungian, Theosophical and spiritual elements to create a revolutionary form of astrology, Daniel incorporated Shamanic and Earth-based elements into this astrological expression. Equally important was the emphasis on direct knowledge and experience of the night sky. In recent years the work of Rudolf Steiner and Sri Aurobindo have contributed to the Three Words Approach, and an emphasis on Involution.

Daniel will explain the “Seed Person” concept, as well as the main purposes of TOTAMS and the field of astrology itself, in these times.

Gemini Brett

Way of the Dragon – Your Prenatal Eclipse and Nodal Return Windows

Discover new light in the shadowy mysteries of eclipse astrology. You will find that your prenatal eclipse chart reveals hidden keys to your path and purpose and that your saros (eclipse family) activations open powerful nodal return windows which help you realign to your spiritual design. We will also explore shadow activations by eclipse transits and learn to read the Sun (19-year Metonic cycles) and Moon (18-year saros series) cards, which help us look back so we can better move forward. All aboard for a magical mystery tour of shadow and light.

Silvianne K. Delmars, Marianna Voulgaris and Lizzie Moon

Beginners Training

 Silvianne, Marianna and Lizzie are presenting and sharing foundational elements of the Shamanic Astrology Paradigm ™ for newcomers to our school. This is also a helpful refresher for long-time members.

Marianna Voulgaris

The Underworld Saga of Venus and Mars

 The energies of the planets are felt here on Earth as part of our experiences. How do we give over to it? We must undergo Shamanic death and rebirth, to consciously die and come back in this reality as One. The dance of Venus and Mars takes on a different story each saga and each time as the collective nature takes on a different perspective as collective humanity.

Here in the converging of the six timelines, 2025 is an unfolding to what it means to come into the intent of surrendering to the One reality. Venus and Mars will undergo the Underworld Saga in 2025 to assist in the final surrender of the old, the composting and digesting to create a new reality. Will we be able to hold this space for each of us? Can we feel safe to have the experiences necessary to fully open to Venus in the overstory of Pisces and except the nourishment and safety from Mars in Cancer? How will this shape the great turning?

Silvianne K. Delmars

Star Portal for the Turning of an Age:

The Guadalupe Event and the Venus Master Cycle

 In the December Solstice window of 1531, a celestial visitation in the form of a beautifuland compassionate young woman appeared to Juan Diego on the hill of Tepeyac, nearMexico City, requesting that this humble native man visit the Bishop and ask for a templeof healing to be built in Her name on the hill. Soon named as The Virgen of Guadalupe,

Her emergence at this dark time of destruction and hopelessness was nothing short of evolutionary.

Silvianne will share how Her miraculous visitation and enduring presence have deeperorigins, targeted specifically for all of us at this unprecedented time of the great Turning of The Ages.

Lizzie Moon

Let’s Talk About Men! 

What does it mean to “be a man” in this day & time? What versions of masculinity are taught, accepted, repressed, exalted or rejected across cultures? In her conversations on her podcast, Moments with MEN, these are some of the questions Lizzie asks men about their experiences, difficulties and triumphs in finding and expressing their true authenticity. In her presentation, Lizzie shares what she’s observed and learned in this exploration, how this information relates to women and all relationships, and how the TOTAMS approach offers a beautiful way for all versions of the “sacred masculine” to be understood, integrated and expressed.

Policy to apply to in- person events

In support of our commitment to locate and provide knowledge and nourishment to “Seed People,” the Turning of the Ages Mystery School shall strive to, whenever possible, maintain a tradition of gathering in-person to hold school events and trainings.During our in-person events or gatherings, it will be our goal to encourage personal connection, togetherness, and communication as natural, organic human beings. We will not require masking or social distancing, however, if local regulations unexpectedly change, we will re-examine the structure of the event in question.As TOTAMS resolutely stands for personal freedom and inclusion, we strive to support a model that does not contribute to the bifurcation and separation that is rampant in our society.  Should you become ill prior to or during any in-person event, certainly taking appropriate measures to care for yourself and others are encouraged, just as they have always been.In light of the sometimes physical and psychological discomfort that some experience when gathering in groups, please be aware that we do not require our participants to disclose their vaccination or health status. Should any of this be of concern, please take this knowledge into account before you choose to attend.When choosing to attend one of our in-person events, it is our expectation that each participant will take personal responsibility for their own health, and agree to not hold TOTAMS or any of the event organizers or facilitators liable should they become ill during or immediately following the event.Should this policy be unclear, please reach out to Daniel, Shiva or Lizzie, for clarification.
