What is a Studyshop?
Studyshops are
designed to place you in the front row of the workshop and provide you with
an image-rich, textually vibrant environment in which to learn. They lend
themselves to self-study, as well as forming your own group to listen to the
Studyshop and learn together. Studyshops are classic audio
workshops from great astrologers.
Studyshops are like a "website on a CD", except
it is a "website" containing four to five hours of audio files which
are the full-day workshop. These audio files are opened by clicking a link
on the Studyshop's main page. Try out a sound file by clicking
here. The whole Studyshop runs from your computer's CD or
DVD player. You do not need to be on-line and better still, it is yours to
own and play as often as you like, so you can revisit a workshop over many
years.
Studyshops consist of audio files, graphics and text all
linked together via pages which act and look like normal web pages, but you
are not on-line, you are running the Studyshop from your
own computer. The Studyshop will open automatically when
you place it in your computer's CD or DVD drive and it will use your browser
(the software you are using now to look at this web page) to show you the
pages.

The core of each Studyshops
is always an audio workshop. This is then supported by textual material which
either expands the ideas put forward in the workshop or enhances and extends
those ideas with background or historical information, as well as images,
photographs and paintings which contain or symbolise those ideas.
Each Studyshop contains many hours of lectures, with accompanying
pages, articles and background information.
Each Studyshop is designed to open automatically in your
PC (Windows 98 or later) MAC or Unix platforms.
When you insert the Studyshop into your computer’s
CD or DVD drive, the Studyshop opens on the title page. To
open the main page click on the name of the workshop, in the same way as you
surf the web. You will see all the audio files listed by order down the centre,
along with descriptions of the workshop sessions. By clicking Part 1 or Part
2, and so on, you will automatically open your computer's sound system which
will play the audio file. As you move your mouse across the different links
on the page, you will find Bonus gateways or portals into other articles,
images and background information which you can open while you are listening
to the audio files. You can also open your word processor and take notes as
you listen, as the audio files will run in the background. You can even listen to the Studyshop lecture while you work in Solar Fire. For instance you can listen to Howard Sasportas talk about the Progressed Moon or Sun while you check on your own progressions or your friends' and family members' !
