Scholarships

We at Heaven and Earth Workshops offer work scholarships primarily because we find that having an infusion of younger students greatly enhances the learning experience for everybody. Their generational perspective is vital to every workshop we run. We also find their technological abilities, energy, enthusiasm, organisational skills and help in running the workshops essential.

We are offering scholarship places to astrologers going through, or pre their 1st Saturn Return, which of course in earthbound terms refers to those 30 years old or under!

We ask that only those with a solid desire, commitment, energy level and the ability to make it happen apply. Scholarship places will only be confirmed with proof of purchase of an airline ticket

We are offering 3 scholarship places for each of the 2010 and 2011 Bali workshops.

For the Bali workshops in 2010/11, recipients will receive full tuition, accommodation, 2 meals a day and ground transportation in Bali. Ground transportation will be provided but not paid for if you arrive or depart more than 3 days before or after the workshop dates. Scholarship recipients will be responsible for their own air-fares, dinners and recreational expenses.

For the March workshop in Mexico, we offer 2 tuition only places, all other expenses will be assumed by the recipients.

For the June 2010 workshop "Conversations with Astrology" we are offering 4 scholarships. These are tuition only, and will not include transportation or accommodations. We will require that at least one recipient have a valid UK driver's license.

Unlike with the Bali workshops, the requirements for the UK and Mexico scholarships may include kitchen work and physical clean up duties in the hall itself.

For both of these workshops, extremely affordable accommodations are available and we will happily assist with these arrangements.

The "work" part of the scholarships will generally entail assisting the facilitator and speakers in keeping everything running smoothly during the programme. Duties will run from setting up and breaking down the hall, taping the talks and maintaining the technical aspects of the program, running errands, helping out the speakers... and general gofer-type work. We feel confident that can we can guarantee at least 80% attendance of the workshop to those participating in this scholarship program, and the students in our previous programs were able to attend almost 100% of the sessions.

For the standard scholarships in Bali, dependent on how full the workshop is, the largest room at Melati Cottages will be used dorm-style by this group. It is lovely, with plenty of room for a mixed gender group to have adequate privacy. Should an over-flow occur at the hotel you will be housed just adjacent to Melati. And rest assured... there is NO such thing as an unpleasant accommodation in this area!

Kindly write to Evelyn (email address at the foot of this page) stating your interest, and provide us with your level of astrological knowledge, birth data, plus a 500 word or less original essay on any astrological theme.

Please clearly state which workshop you are applying for, and please only apply for one at the offset.

We receive many letters asking us to consider other age groups for scholarship places. Out of fairness to everyone making such great efforts to attend and all the younger students who are applying, we will not, under any circumstances, be making exceptions to this policy. Please only apply for a scholarship if you are 30 or younger.

We have tailored our prices for this project to succeed, so beyond our scholarships, special rates for "young astrologers", early bird specials, and the 20% "tuition only" discount for groups of over 12, we are unable to offer any other price reductions. We thank you for understanding.

Scholarship Student Testimonial

The workshop carved some of the most beautiful memories
in my heart, and brain too, which I will cherish, and use, for the rest of my life. I felt honored to be provided with a volunteership opportunity by which I could meet astrologers from around the world which not only brought me in close
proximity with some very talented and knowledgeable people but also helped me to perceive astrology with an altogether different perspective.

There could not have been a better place in the whole world than Bali for discussing such a subject. And above all I just hope that your purpose of calling me was fulfilled. That I proved myself worthy of that award and was able to assist you well in every aspect.**

**Arnav... you were a Gift and a Joy, and like all the helpers a completely invaluable part of this adventure.

We Thank You All
