From time to time LSA runs residential courses on various aspects of astrology.

A variety of venues may be used for these courses but recently they have been held in Abbey Hall, Glastonbury. Built in the 1830's, Abbey House is now dedicated as a retreat house and overlooks the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey.

Its rooms have wonderful views over the ruins to the Quantock Hills beyond. The garden has its own direct access to the Abbey Grounds - outside the times when the ruins are open to the public. Accommodation is simple but comfortable. The 17 single rooms and 8 twin-bedded rooms are located on the first floor and all have wash basins. Participants will each have their own room. Bathrooms are nearby and plentiful (7 bathrooms and 3 showers). For those wishing to travel by car, there is ample car parking space available.

Vegetarian and special diets are catered for on advance request. Meals comprise: breakfast, which is continental style, a light lunch (soup, salad, fruit etc.), with dinner as the main meal in the evening. All meals, including morning and afternoon tea and coffee are included in the price. Facilities are also available for guests to make their own drinks as and when required.

Next Residential Course in Glastonbury:

There will be two Residential Schools in 2008 (Beginners: 16-19 March; Advanced: 14-18 April):

16-19 March 2008: Interpretation and Forecasting for Fledglings with Sue Tompkins: You will be guided through the major components of the birth chart and many horoscope examples will be presented. During the course we will go step-by-step through the various stages of chart interpretation and begin to include transits and life cycles into the equation. The course is suitable for those in their first or second years of study. It is also ideal for those with some experience who wish to brush up on their knowledge or fill in gaps.

14 to 18 April 2008: Astrology, You and the Wider World, a Masterclass with Sue Tompkins: Why do some people drive a Golf, others a Mini? Why might some Brits adore Iceland, whilst others prefer Greece or Australia? What makes someone love spiders, whilst another can't abide them? Can you know if it's going to rain whilst you are on your summer holiday? The answers to questions such as these can be found in the horoscope. This fun, information-packed course will focus on natal interpretation and forecasting, as well as introduce various techniques from mundane astrology and other areas to look at the individual in the context of the wider world.

To accommodate price increases made by the venue, we have had to increase the fee slightly for residential courses, but as always a discount is available to those who book before 31/12/07.
