Chirone Witsen
.
My background is in History of Art and Linguistics.
To me astrology is similar to linguistics in that it is the study of patterns, and it is very much a language of symbolism.
Astrology was my introduction to self-development and spirituality many years ago, when I realized that in order to heal I actually had to deal with my ‘stuff’, and that it wasn’t going to go away no matter how much I ignored it. T
he insights I gained from astrology fascinated me, particularly as they were so accurate. I work with both astrology and counselling, and find astrology invaluable in gaining deeper insight into the issues that my clients bring.
Exploring Our Inner Feminine

“So what did I learn and receive from my Being Woman experience? In the short space of 24 hours I had been through incredible lows and highs, I had gone through stages of feeling completely alone in my journey to being almost swamped in love and affection, and I had come through this festival with a newfound sense of self- respect for my own personal power.
Like many modern day women, I have learnt to become strong and independent and self-sufficient, and indeed that is part and parcel of the Soul’s journey, to learn to go direct to the Source of our own power, wisdom, love, and truth, etc. However, the journey is not really complete until we come back together again within the sacred circle.”
Devaanii (Debbie Greenwood)
I can’t say how excited I am to be part of the Being Woman experience in 2012. I can’t wait. I have been waiting for ‘this’ for some time now.
