Are You Going through a
Major Life Change?
An essential key for your life is to recognize how everyone changes at around 30, 40, 50 and 60 years old. These social and psychological markers are not just numbers, they are universal rites of passage with astrological correspondences and they all come with new opportunities… No, really they do! Life is an adventure if we understand the patterns. In this highly interactive and stimulating workshop with Laurence, you will learn about the main rites of passage of our adult lives; the crisis and opportunity presented with major life changes. At each rite of passage, we are challenged to stay open—and to open up to more. Laurence will focus in particular on the rites of passage that take place during the following periods: ☼☼29 to 31 years of age (Saturn return) ☼☼37 to 42 years of age (North Node return, Pluto square Pluto, Neptune square Neptune, Uranus opposite Uranus) ☼☼50 to 51 years of age (Chiron return) ☼☼58 to 63 years of age (Saturn second return, Chariklo return)
These challenging initiations are universal. A basic understanding of these times of major life change is invaluable for us all. This workshop will enable you to recognize the archetypical structure of our unfoldment and the challenges and potentials inherent within that structure. Overlying this template of human growth and ageing are personal chapters and changes unique to each of us, but to understand the underlying basic human pattern is an essential prerequisite for truly conscious living.
Workshop Details Astrology and Consciousness: Fate and Free Will 10am to 12.30pm (with one 10-minute tea break)
How much of our life is fate; how much free will? What do you think? How does astrology work and what can it tell us about our Life Purpose and potentials? Our individual astrological template is probably the most accurate map of our life. In conjunction with Laurence’s unique and highly acclaimed Enchantments of Life model, you will discover that the interpretation—and indeed the very outcome—of your natal chart is inextricably interconnected with your level of consciousness (your Enchantment). 12.30pm to 1.30 pm: Lunch (please bring a packed lunch or something to share)
Astrology and Consciousness: Universal Rites of Passage 1.30pm to 5pm (with one 15-minute tea break)
As well as our own individual chapters and flavours of life, there are a number of highly potent universal rites of passage that we each move through, but to take full advantage of the opportunity presented by each of these major life changes, we need to be as fully conscious as possible. This workshop with Laurence will give you a profound understanding of the underlying basic human pattern that is an essential prerequisite for truly conscious living.

Laurence James Lucas Laurence James Lucas, visionary mapmaker of human consciousness and its evolution, mystic and astrological consultant, has been giving talks and workshops since 1990, drawing upon his own lifetime of radical life change; a successful astrological consultancy; deep shamanic work; studies in the area of sociology, human psychology and consciousness; and a profound perception of the nature of reality. His major passion is the evolution of human consciousness and all that entails. Laurence’s 17 years of full-time experiential research into the evolution of global consciousness and related subjects has given birth to his groundbreaking model of the Enchantments of Life, which enables a sophisticated understanding of how new consciousness emerges in human society. His main work now is facilitating groups for the Enchantments Institute in Hong Kong, of which he is co-founder. The courses cover human evolution and its relevance to each participant’s life, particularly in regard to life changes. He lives between Hong Kong and the UK, and has a daily practice involving yoga, qi gong, meditation and vast amounts of research and writing. Laurence’s Enchantments of Life and Storyteller series of workshops, among others, have been highly acclaimed in both Hong Kong and the UK.

What Others Have Said
“I’ve watched and participated in the evolutionary work of Laurence James Lucas for over a decade and a half. Laurence has been to my life a wake-up call, a call to arms, a reminder of the magical vistas, the lenses and Enchantments through which we view the world we live in. We are the co-creators of our own existence and all that we experience. We are the dreamers and every day we strive to slowly awaken. I would highly recommend you spend the time to participate in the ideas of LjL. You have nothing to lose but the illusion of your own limitation.” Neil Kilburn, Senior Risk Analyst, City of London Telecom, UK “Laurence Lucas is a Promethean figure, his gift of foresight and his overview of the cosmos is breathtaking. He brings concepts and new ideas that are way ahead of his time—but we need figures like him to shake us out of our complacency and comfort zones; to wake up to the new future that awaits us. I sense a truth in his words, like a reawakening of an old memory that we have lost. This man is worth listening to!” Helen Sewell, Dip. Psychology Astrology CPA, Sussex, UK “Don’t miss the chance to participate in a Laurence James Lucas seminar—mind-expanding, fun and entertaining stuff. His workshops are also refreshing, thought-provoking and highly recommended.” Geoff Stray, International Lecturer and Author of Beyond 2012—Catastrophe or Ecstasy
