EAS ~ History
The E.A.S. (Edmonton Astrological Society) was Founded in 1977, by Chris
McRae and her students at that time. The first meeting was held on December
10th 1977 at 1:58 p.m.
The EAS was conceived as a vehicle to enable
people with varied astrological acumen to meet and work together. The success of
this society is due to the common denominator of its' members as they developed a strong organizational nucleus which reflects their unique enthusiasm
and powerful desire to work towards building an enduring organization.
Edmonton Astrological Society
20 Year "Certificate of Merit"
was presented
in 1997 to the five members of the EAS that maintained their membership
continuously for 20 years.
They are: Chris McRae,
Inge Lohse, Liz Swoboda,
Bea Cox-Gould and Linda Sendziak.
The EAS provides it's
members with
the opportunity to do their own research and exploration in all areas of
astrology and then share that information with the rest of the group at
monthly
workshops.
In this way members become comfortable with publicly sharing their insights. The
E. A. S. has made a reputation for itself for the quality of speakers that it
generates.
Our most esteemed and best known international
lecturer is Chris
McRae, PMAFA.
Chris has always encouraged EAS members to spread their wings. As a
result many members
of the EAS , such as Liz
Swoboda AMAFA and Inge
Lohse AMAFA are sought as
speakers by other astrological organizations and conferences across North
America.
Although the emphasis
is on learning and sharing ideas and concepts, the membership
consists of people at all levels
of expertise in astrology, from those who are just beginning - to those who have
been teaching and lecturing for well over thirty years.
Beyond the monthly
meetings held the second Friday of the
month from September through May, the Society also hosts an annual Astrological
Weekend Retreat in June, for it's members and friends.
For ten years from 1987 to 1997, alternately
with the Calgary Astrological Association the EAS hosted the Alberta Astrological
Connection conference in Red Deer Alberta during the last weekend of Libra, each
year.
Many founding members remain
active in the society today. The original principles and values hold true today as
the society grows ever stronger by encouraging new and vigorous minds to share
and learn together.
