The Shamanic Astrology Program is an educational retreat designed by Daniel Giamario and Cayelin Castell, co-founders of the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School. Shamanic Astrology utilizes the astrological wisdom of the ages as a tool in one’s path toward self-realization. Unlike many types of astrology, Shamanic Astrology is not deterministic. It is an extremely evolved approach that maps the blueprint of one’s design in a sacred context that recognizes each person’s potential for growth and transformation.
By recognizing that the macrocosm is in essence a reflection of the microcosm and vice versa, we see the profound wisdom inherent in the astrological platform. It provides a snapshot into the inner workings of one’s nature that can be extremely transformative and helpful in the resolution of life purpose. By maximizing our potential as individual expressions of the divine, we are able to become potent catalysts in the flowering of consciousness on a planetary level and beyond.
This program is the most recent addition to the Essene Priesthood Program, but is also open to anyone interested in learning about these ancient teachings. Set in the beautiful oasis of Patagonia, The Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center provides a magical setting for this dynamic journey.
GABRIEL COUSENS, M.D. DESCRIBES THE PROGRAM
“According to ancient Torah and oral tradition teachings, astrology originated in pre-Adamic times. Oral tradition says that it was re-activated by Enosh, the grandson of Adam (the third generation from Adam). In association with this astrological activation, came an energy of idol worship in which the sun, moon, and planets were seen as gods. This, of course, is not the Kabbalistic teaching - which is that the planets, like the planet Earth, and the stars have their own living energy as the spark of the Divine within them. The science of angelology explains this as each heavenly body is ruled by a particular angel that acts as the soul guide of that planet - an expression of the Divine in the cosmos.
These teachings were passed from Noach to Shem (Melchizedek) and Eber, highlighted by Avrahim Avinu, Yitzach, Ya’akov, and the twelve tribes. They reflect a deep awareness of living in a holy time. Holy time helps people link into the flow of the divine - as experienced in the movement of the stars, constellations, planets, sun, and moon. This is the essence of Essene Shamanic Astrology. Its focus is on understanding and aligning with the energetic influx of these heavenly bodies, set in motion by the Divine, which create certain energetic influences on the planet Earth. All of the Essene/Kabbalistic/Jewish holidays are based on the influxes of spiritual energy from the movement of the heavenly bodies. Understanding this gives you great insight into the flow of the cycles of each year and month and how to optimally live your life in relationship to the flow of these energies. The energy of the new moon creates a spiritual evolutionary cycle for the Essene practitioner throughout the cycle of the year. The modern Essene teaching is to be able to see these waves of energy coming and flow with them in the cycle of your everyday life.
The Modern Essenes have returned to the moon cycle and have integrated this sacred measure of the seasons into the, significantly separate, Gregorian time cycle (matrix time) which is designed to keep us slightly disconnected from Holy time. Moving from machine (matrix time) to Mah (Holy time) is an important step in the liberation process in which we ultimately go beyond time in the consciousness of the nothing/liberation of B’limah.”
“I feel that Daniel Giamario and Cayelin Castell are the two top shamanic astrologers in America and it is a special privilege to have them develop this program with us.”

I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in gaining compassion and understanding for themselves and for those around them.

BEFORE YOU ARRIVE:
Please review our Welcome Guide and Important Policies before you arrive at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center. Inside you will find details on how to prepare for your stay, what to bring, and what to expect.
ACCOMMODATIONS:
The Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center spreads across 180 acres of land, nestled within the pristine natural setting of the Mountain Empire of Patagonia. Our on-site lodging is intentionally simple to inspire a profound inward journey.
The Casitas, one of our on-site housing options, are ecologically constructed. We have ten bright and clean rooms surrounding a Spanish-style courtyard. Four outdoor shared bathrooms with showers are only a few steps from each room. Two of the Casitas are private rooms with private bathrooms, available for an extra fee (please contact us for details). The Casitas are located a short walk from our Café and a 15 min walk to the Oasis, which is the administrative building that includes the front desk, wellness spa, medical center, Culture of Life Shoppe, and natural pharmacy.
Only a few steps from the Oasis is the Orchard House. It is the closest housing option to all our rejuvenation & spa treatments. There we offer 4 guest rooms in a house setting, complete with laundry room, living room, kitchen (no stove), 2 full baths, and a wooden front porch with a view of the majestic Red Mountain.
Our water is well water that is pumped through solar energy. The drinking water is filtered through a Reverse Osmosis (RO) water purification system. All the guest rooms are cleaned daily with all-natural, chemical-free products.
The all-inclusive daily base-rate is $199, including lodging, meals and juices, daily activities and free amenity use.
- Lodging*; rooms in 8 of the Casitas and the Orchard House are small, each equipped with two twin size natural latex beds and a shared wardrobe and dresser. Bathrooms are shared with other guests. The two private Casitas each have one double bed and a private bathroom (additional charges apply).
- Healing Live-Food Cuisine is served buffet-style at the Tree of Life Café. All meals are 100% organic, locally-grown, plant-source-only, high-mineral, low-glycemic, and prepared with love.
- Daily Activities include Kali Ray TriYoga®, spiritual nutrition education classes, healthy living Q&A with physician, food prep classes, meditations and spiritual evening programs.
- Amenities; 24/7 wheat grass and tea stations, non-chlorinated pool and open-air hot tubs, sundecks, Mikvah (purification bath), labyrinth, medicine wheel, teepee, far-infrared saunas, nature trails, wireless internet at the Oasis and the Cafe and on-site shuttle service available upon request. Please note that shuttle is only available at certain hours of the day, and the center requires a lot of walking regardless. Walking also encourages the healing process.
- NO: in-room phones, TV, internet, or stereo. This is intentional to facilitate a feeling of complete retreat. There is high-speed wireless internet available at the Tree of Life Cafe and at the Oasis (administrative building), although it is strongly recommended that guests break from using internet and cell phones as much as possible during their stay.
Guests may also stay off-site, if they have been approved to do so by the medical staff, at one of the local B&Bs or guest houses. Patagonia is a small mountain town with only one main street and no traffic lights. Partner locations are only few minutes driving distance away from the Tree of Life campus.

PLEASE NOTE: We are not wheelchair accessible! The Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center celebrates living close to the earth and deliberately provides this experience for our guests. In support of aiding our guests in cultivating a relationship with surrounding nature, our paths and roads are rugged and often rocky, with minimal artificial lighting. Any guest who has difficulties maintaining stability while walking, and especially our diabetic guests struggling with neuropathy, should use care while traversing our grounds. Though we typically encourage our guests to walk around our Center for exercise and to support inner peace, those dealing with any conditions that promote imbalance would be wise to use a car to get around our premises and to choose those walking paths offering smoother, more level surfaces and ample lighting. Guests should use their own discretion while at our Center. The Tree of Life is not liable for any injuries incurred in our natural setting.
