On Zoom with Infinite Replay

In this 3-hour activation, we will explore the mythopoetics of the binary star Sirius, delving into how “man’s best friend” figures in inherited concepts of freedom, fidelity, death, afterlife, intuition, and poetic intensity.

Your registration grants you immediate complimentary access to Invisible College’s Gnostic Summer video collection, as well as the Inanna collection, over 34 hours of content– a $222 value.

This 3-hour experience is structured for alignment, attunement, and imaginal activation.  

Less about having a dog than being a dog.  Though having a dog doesn’t preclude being a dog, talking to a dog, being a talking dog, comprehending the Dogstar’s siblinglike or cousinlike affinities with our sun, or deeply comprehending the imagery in the tarot’s canonical Moon cards. 

The purpose of our study is to activate intuition.

Just who was civilization meant to be for and what do we understand civilization to mean these days? What do we give up when we agree to domestication? Why is the wolf (always?) hungry? What does it mean to shine while chained? What do we agree to conceal when we “sign” the social contract, and what kinds of performance do we consent to? What becomes of love– erotic love, committed partnership, filial piety– in the Uranus in Gemini frequency?  What does it mean to be wild in the twenty-first century, and what WILL wildness; wilderness come to mean?  

And so on…

Love, Ariana
