About Art Granoff 
I'm an archetypal astrologer and Grof Breathwork facilitator in training based in California, where I've lived for 30 years after growing up in New York. My journey to this work has been anything but conventional.

Early Awakening
My spiritual path began early and intensely. As a young Deadhead exploring consciousness through LSD, I traveled overland through Central Asia, celebrating my 19th birthday at the Taj Mahal. At 20, I committed to ashram life in Boulder, diving deep into contemplative practice.

Professional Journey
My career path has been eclectic, reflecting a curiosity about different ways of being in the world. I've worked as an executive chef, commissioned salesperson, radio programmer and on-air talent, cannabis farmer, and audio/video producer. For 15 years, I volunteered my production skills, recording benefit concerts for the Seva Foundation. See my chamber music work here:


Return to Inner Work
Twenty-five years ago, I returned to meditation practice, finding it essential for grounding. In 2006, Holotropic Breathwork (now Grof Breathwork) found me and I have completed over 60 sessions. There's something extraordinary about accessing deep states of consciousness without substances. This passion led me to recently complete an 18-month Grof Legacy Training program to become a facilitator.
That said, I’m revisiting psychedelics with personal appreciation for archetypal integration work.

Astrology Awakening
My path to astrology began with a single moment of revelation. At a retreat in Joshua Tree in 2011, I heard Stan Grof describe archetypal astrology as "the Rosetta Stone of the psyche" and demonstrate how the four basic perinatal matrices correlate with the four outer planets. Despite knowing nothing about astrology previously, I was completely captivated and committed to learning this symbolic language.

Training and Practice
In archetypal astrology, I've trained with Matthew Stelzner and later with Renn Butler, whose encouragement led me to formalize my practice and begin presenting online.
For the past six years, I've hosted "World Transits Today," at the Archetypal News Network. 
Monthly, the video podcast explores the planetary archetypes with their ongoing changing relationships.

Offering
I help people recognize universal patterns shaping both personal and collective experience, drawing on decades of inner exploration steeped in archetypal insight.
 We start with a birth chart reading - discovering archetypal patterns in one’s own life - then extend to personal transits - exploring  archetypal energies for specific dates.

Could reframing psychedelic experiences through archetypal thinking offer us the fresh view we’ve been looking for?
