This Live Webinar takes place on the Leo New Moon, the most powerful time to plant the seeds of our collective intentions for the the Great American Total Solar Eclipse (GATSE) on August 21.
On August 22, 1142 a Total Solar Eclipse swept through the northeastern U.S. and Canada, prompting the founding of the Iroquois Confederacy
Nearly 900 years later, the Great American Total Solar Eclipse on August 21, 2017 is an event of our lifetime presenting an opportunity to restore the Spiritual Blueprint of the U.S.A. to its Original Intent which was to be guided by core indigenous/human values of democracy, egalitarianism and Earth Care concerned for the next Seven Generations.
This will be the first time in nearly 100 years that a Total Solar Eclipse will sweep across North America (known as Turtle Island to many Native People) from east to West. It is arguably also the first time in 760 years that the path of Totality exclusively crosses the current U.S..A.
A Total Solar Eclipse is a “Super New Moon,” a time for planting seeds for our Collective Future.
The Blueprint of the U.S.A. founding was influenced by the Iroquois Confederacy’s democratic, egalitarian governing structur. What has NOT been adopted yet was always part of the original Blueprint was the important role of women, youth, and elders in decision making and Earth Care with concern for Future Generations.
This Leo Eclipse is also aligned with Royal Star Regulus, the Heart of the Lion, and one of the most significant stars connected to prophecy. Regulus can be seen as prompting us to live in a more wholehearted way, and Leo reminds us that any change within and without, in order to be generative, must be sourced in self love with a vital sense of play and fun.
It’s time to restore our Nation’s Spiritual DNA to this original Blueprint, and this Webinar will initiate that process.

Tami Brunk Visionary Shamanic Astrologer Tami Brunk is a Certified Shamanic Astrologer and Earth Protector. She helped to found the Marda Permaculture Farm in the West Bank of Palestine and Querencia Green in Albuqurque, New Mexico. Her life passion is to help people remember their sacred connection to Earth and Sky, and to remember what their indigenous souls already know so as to dream together a new-yet-ancient restorative Earth Culture.
Starhawk is one of the most respected voices in modern earth-based spirituality. She is the author or coauthor of twelve books, including The Spiral Dance: A Rebirth of the Ancient Religion of the Great Goddess, long considered the essential text for the Neo-Pagan movement, and the now-classic ecotopian novel The Fifth Sacred Thing, now in development for film and television.
As a certifiable StarryTeller, Gemini Brett devotes his now as a living vow to the Marriage of Heaven and Earth. He began his formal study with the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School, but has since synthesized his own terrestrially-tuned celestial stew by integrating ingredients from many ancient and modern paradigms. Brett’s principle intention is to retrieve the Star Songs heard in times before the written word. He transmits the mysteries he finds in sacred sites and living sky through a system of embodied exercise he calls Earthstrology and through the sacred sciences of the Quadrivium: Geometry, Musical Harmony, Astronomy, and Number in Nature. Gemini Brett is best known throughout cosmic circles as an astronomy-for-astrology expert and mystic mythologist, but the truth you’ll find when you get to know this fiery Scorpio is that his techniques are designed to water the heart through re-membering Signs of the Messenger’s Mind.
