In addition to consulting, writing, mentoring, and lecturing, Bear also teaches astrology. While his first formal course will be launching late in 2023 or early 2024, he's taught with the Portland School of Astrology, and is running his first small group class now.

While Bear is mostly behind the scenes this year, focused on writing for Myxticism, his book, and working on a special magazine edition, you can still find him here and there, facing publicly.

New events will be added as they're officially announced.


Practice with the Planets

8 Week Class Series

Practice with the Planets - Online Course

Space is limited in the in-person classes, and there's been interest far beyond the capacity and geographic reach of the Raven's Wing run of courses. So Bear is working on an online course!

Practice with the Planets

This class was such a treat! Sold out at max capacity, with lively conversation all around. A huge special thanks to everyone who attended.

This class was something of a full circle for Bear. Teaching a class at the place he got his very first astrology reading.

Sunday February 12th at 6pm

in-person at Raven's Wing Magical Co. Oakland, CA

In this 90 minute workshop you'll learn how to build a practice with the planets from award-winning intersectional astrologer Bear Ryver. From tuning in to the frequency of the planets through ritual, art, and the food we cook in the kitchen, the possibilities for connecting with the planets through a personal practice are truly endless.

Bear will facilitate an interactive conversation about the planets building on participant's personal charts and preferences. You'll walk away with concrete steps to take to begin working with the planets, plus a handful of auspicious days to choose from for beginning your relationship with the planets and the planetary days.
