66. This Is What You Came For: Curriculum Magic with Jonathan Koe

<p>So thrilling to be getting into the real deal - the structure of what we will actually be doing in <a href="https://brittenlarue.com/astrology-as-praxis" target="_blank">Astrology as Praxis: Remembering Your Participation in the Cosmic Body</a>, my upcoming year-long astrology learning container. This is what you come for.&nbsp;</p> <p>How can we turn curriculum-building, something potentially boring and mundane, into a magical, mystical, creative practice? How do we build learning containers that are not only sturdy, but life-giving and nourishing? How can we create a course curriculum that works through our lives, our bodies, our spirits?&nbsp;</p> <p>In this conversation, <a href="https://www.nateqimusic.com/bio" target="_blank">Jonathan Koe</a> and I sat for a meaty, joyful conversation on the curriculum of our upcoming course, <a href="https://www.nateqimusic.com/astrology-as-praxis">Astrology as Praxis.</a> As lifelong students and teachers, we geeked out over our shared love for a juicy course curriculum. So we knew that when we began speaking to the spirit of Astrology as Praxis, we wanted to also craft a robust curriculum - one that will ensure that participants will feel held, cared for, and, simultaneously, challenged during the transformative experience of the course.</p> <p>We argue that it's once you're actually inside the experience that you learn what you came for. The visible curriculum is supported by so much invisible care, and we are transparent about our process here. I had so much fun talking about it all. &nbsp;</p> <p>We discussed how we weaved our mystical practices into the creation of this curriculum, how reflecting on the cardinal signs (Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn) volunteered to help us with creating structures for the container, and finally we revealed and discussed the powerful syllabus for Astrology as Praxis.</p> <p>In the final 25 minutes, I speak to some logical and practical concerns you may have: how to afford this experience, what times are the meetups, and so.
