you'll return home refreshed and renewed. 

AND THERE'S ASTROLOGY!!

Join a great group of intermediate/advanced astrologers

ready to relax, learn and share with their peers.

(sorry, no beginners)

Daily on-site lectures, discussions and workshops will get your astro gears greased and still leave plenty of time for r and r.

The Outer Banks

Several miles off the coast of North Carolina lies a narrow string of barrier islands.

The Outer Banks are almost 200 miles long but sparsley populated.

The population is spread over a series of small towns dotted like a string of beads north to south.

There are few oceanside entertainment or commercial districts. The beachfront is mainly residential, giving this isolated area a calm, peaceful atmosphere.

Astrologer Writing Natal Chart
Creating an Astrology Braintrust

This isn't your ordinary Beach Hang. It's a gathering of astrologers with the intention of sharing and learning together.

Remember, there are no beginners here.

We have all made interesting and unique observations and correlations. Some of us have had epiphanies, some the occasional brain explosion.

 

Let's gather all of that wisdom and study

 into an Astrology Braintrust!

 

Do you have a revelation to share?

A special way that you look at a natal chart? 

An astrological pet peeve you need validation for?

Don't keep it to yourself! We want to know what you know!

Please consider being a presenter or facilitator for one of the three dailly scheduled events.

Daily Astrology Braintrusts

Morning Lecture

These 30-60 minute lectures provide an opportunity for a thorough investigation. Q & A and discussion to follow.

Afternoon Chart Workshop

Gather round and study a specific chart as a group. The facilitator will get the first 10-15 minutes to showcase their deliniation techniques before the floor opens.

Evening Discussion

Ready for more casual discussion? Grab your favorite beverage and a comfy seat. We'll open with a 10-15 minute starter and open the floor from there.

As our treasured guest, savor your morning coffee watching the sun rise out of the Altantic from one of the home's many decks or the private dune deck. Perhaps you'd prefer a stroll along the shoreline, our private access puts you there easily,

The views are just the beginning of this exclusive property's amenities and you'll have time for them all. Enjoy floating on the lazy river in the private pool or soaking one of the three hot tubs.

Whether you are indoors or out, you'll find a wide array of both public and private areas. With a fire pit, game room, home theatre and more, this home combines the luxuries of a resort with the comfort and privacy of a residence.

About Kelly

Kelly McCardle is your enthusiastic hostess for this unique event.

She usually holds transformational women's retreats and is always on the lookout for great vacation homes on the Outer Banks that best meet her guests's needs.

Seeing this incredible home's prime location and great design,she immediately thought it would be a great place for a group of astrologers to hang out and talk astrology.

 

Kelly has studied astrology since 1990 and has often found it a lonely pursuit.

Making a connection or having a revelation isn't quite enough

until it's shared, debated and looked at from different angles

so she created an event to provide a space for astrologers to spend time together

that was more personal than a convention but large enough to get a variety of views.

Kelly lives on her family farm with her husband, daughter, two dogs and two cats.

Along with her interest in astrology, she teaches yoga, creates and hosts retreats, practices Ashtanga and Reiki, and generally tries to be a force for Good in the world.

LET KELLY AND HER SERVICE PARTNERS HANDLE ALL OF THE DETAILS
COME ALONG AND ENJOY AN ASTROLOGER'S VACATION!
