March 11th – 25th, 2012

Following our successful Star-Gazing Journey through Morocco in March 2011, we will again be exploring mountains and desert, with an emphasis on naked-eye observation of the stars. This time we will be guided by Ian Bailey, who leads astronomy courses in various Bio-Dynamic Training Courses in U.K. and has a regular star column on the B.D.A.A. website.

We will trek together in the High Atlas, search for fossils in the Anti- Atlas and meander in the Sahara, meeting with Berber people and their culture. Every night we will explore the endless wonders of the dusk, the night sky and the glowing dawn. In particular, we will follow the paths of Jupiter and Venus on their journey to meet each other. Our nature-experiences will be enriched through colour-work and planet-eurythmy (an art of movement). We will take time to share our individual impressions and experiences, and
deepen these. This journey will provide a refreshing and widening outlook, which trustfully will give each of us a transformed and creative new approach to life. Experienced star-gazers and novices will find an equally rich tapestry to explore.

The Journey will be organised by Larry and Juliette Leighton. Juliette is a Eurythmy Therapist who was born in Morocco, growing up there till she was 14. Larry has developed a strong connection to Morocco and has a life-long love of travel, teaching, craftwork and Adult Learning.
