Faywood 2026: Night Sky Cosmology and Synodic Cycles Intensive
Night Sky Cosmology and Synodic Cycles Intensive
In-Person Facilitation for Course 04 Cosmology: Navigating the Night Sky
and Course 05 The Overstory: Cycles of Inner Planets
September 13-20, 2026
Faywood Hot Springs, New Mexico
Facilitated by Daniel Giamario and Gemini Brett
Faywood Hot Springs is the perfect location for a cosmology / night sky intensive. In 2026, this in-person event will offer the experiential in-person version of Course 04 Cosmology: Navigating the Night Sky and Course 05 The Overstory: Cycles of Inner Planets joined together. Taking the on-line Course 04 and 05, and this in-person course at Faywood, will satisfy the course requirements for level 2 full certification.
In the early 2000s, Daniel designed and had built a large stone circle on a hilltop with a magnificent 360-degree horizon view. See his article here!
We will be gathering just after the New Moon, and just before the Libra Equinox. As we are still in the almost peak Lunar Standstill season, a special activity later in the week will be aligning the final four stones in the circle that mark the Lunar Standstill stations, which were placed at Faywood in 2025.
Daniel has been a hot springs lover his whole life and considers Faywood to be the finest hot springs in America. Clothing optional, clothing required, and private pools are all available and included in the stay.
TOTAMS has the great pleasure of Gemini Brett co-facilitating this intensive with Daniel. A night sky wizard and great starry-teller, he and Daniel recently created the updated version of Course 04 in the TOTAMS Full Certification Program. Click here for details. An updated Course 05 will have been created in early 2026.
