Healing Outdoor Retreat

Planned for Jefferson Valley

Cynthia Chase, a psycho-spiritual therapist in private practice in Westchester and the founder of Reiki Fusion, will offer a safe, outdoor in-person retreat on September 19 in Jefferson Valley. “Events will be held lakeside, around a cozy fire,” Chase says. “Each person will have the opportunity to receive a healing and be part of the healing circle inviting connection and transformation.” The rain date is September 26.

In her practice, which has spanned more than 30 years, Chase joins the principles and practices of East and West in the work of personal growth and enlightenment. She is an expert in the field of positive psychology, which focuses on a person’s strengths instead of weakness or pathology. As a Reiki master she has developed the Reiki Fusion process, drawing on the eastern principles of energy work and shamanism as well as her own experience.

Her workshops and retreats integrate a variety of approaches, including psychoanalytic psychotherapy, bioenergetics, dream analysis, Gestalt principles, psychodrama, meditation and energy medicine.

Cost: $95, lunch included (vegan and gluten-free options available). For more info, call 860.395.0284, email cynthiamchase@ gmail.com or visit CynthiaMChase.com.

September 2020

Astrology with Pamela Cucinell

Ready or Not

Listen with care on September 1; messages with love are available despite the noise. The September 2 Pisces full moon heightens the love vibration for those ready to do the work. Those not ready for reciprocity (to receive and give) fade away on September 3.Communications sharpen September 4, but fast decisions are not advised. Disagreements seem unavoidable on September 5, but the sidelines offer relief.

The Strategic Warrior

On September 6, be present: Touch with care, smell the flowers, savor every taste. Consider and deepen into difficult or delicious moments on September 7. Slow down! Rushing wastes time September 8. Resistance is futile with Mars retrograde on September 9; through mid-November we do well to accept and work with frustration and delays. Aggression, anger and insistence meet indifference or rejection. Rid mental cobwebs the morning of September 10 to clarify intent. If something feels off to you September 11, do not engage.

Slow Cooking

Jupiter direct on September 12 opens up possibilities best achieved when you take your time. Prioritize “fun” on September 13. Creative juice needs an outlet September 14: Invite the power of personal transformation. Unexpected distractions on September 15 increase the need to complete certain tasks. Evaluate your health and routine September 16. The Virgo new moon September 17 invites a fresh outlook for a new reality. Let the ideas simmer September 18, because this lunar cycle benefits from gradual adjustments.

Steady Pace

Continue to learn as you go September 19. By September 20, forms take shape and intentions crystallize. Embrace moments of meditation this International Day of Peace September 21. The September 22 autumn equinox emphasizes the need for dynamic justice through compromise. A morning of action on September 23 yields contemplative enterprise. Productivity increases for those open to innovation on September 24.

Down Under

Don’t assume everyone is on the same page September 25; tempers rise when the sun sets. Inspiration sails on September 26, but keep alert to undercurrents. Research benefits September 27. Massage the message to increase alliances September 28. With Saturn direct on September 29, the screws tighten and accountability matters. An efficient morning September 30 allows for a meditative evening.

Pamela Cucinell offers a spiritual astrological perspective for these quickly changing times, as well as guidance through private sessions and podcasts.
