The Aha Classwith Paldywan Kenobi 2024-25
A deep, high and wide-ranging series of talks
with Palden Jenkins at The Hive, Penzance, Cornwall TR18 4TP.
In the Aha Class I shared insights into many things you'll probably have thought about but never fully understood, or perhaps the way I articulated things might have given you some lightbulb moments.
Along the way we covered earth energies, world healing, death and rebirth, extraterrestrials, history, megaliths, meta-politics, life, the universe, how we got into this mess, how we might get out of it, and things like that.
I have a way of bringing such things to life, speaking from lived experience, and learnings and ruminations over the decades. Good for broadening and deepening your understanding of what's going on. Try listening to one or two recordings on the right to find out more.
What you missed in previous Aha Classes...
About the ancient sites of West Penwith. I show how Penwith is one big ancient site, a high-level magical-shamanic energy-generator. It's about the earth, people and cosmic energy that the ancients worked with in the megalithic era.
The deeper, wider stuff around activism, creativity, working for justice, changing society, planetary healing and nudging things along. About us, the helpers, and questions of risk, commitment, feelings, burn-out, and getting through.
Power Points and Waves in Time and History. As an astrologer, my speciality has been time-cycles - cycles of the Moon, Sun and planets and slower cycles of the outer planets. It's all a matter of time, and the times.
4. Star Nation People (20th November)
I had a close encounter at age 22 in Wales, and in the 1990s-2000s I was deeply involved in crop circle research. In 1992 I wrote The Only Planet of Choice for the Council of Nine. I share a fascinating overview of the ET situation, what Planet Earth is here for, and how none of us started our soul-journey here on Earth.
Why did ancient Penwithians bother to build so many quoits, stone circles and cairns? I go further into the sacred technology of ancient Penwithians and propose what might happen next in terms of researching Penwith's ancient sites.
We get born and then we get dead - and in between we get a life. I have a few useful insights for terminal patients and people involved with them - and for anyone likely to die (that means you, one day). This is about the experience of dying, what it's like, what we can do inwardly to prepare the way, and what happens afterwards.
7. Geopolitical Healing and Inner Aid (12th March)
Inner journeying, healing and resolution work with world crises and global issues. In the first half we go through considerations that are involved, how we choose and work with crises, as well as blessings, delusions, dangers and what it's all for. In the second half we do a process, inner-journeying to Sudan.

As an old veteran, now with cancer, I've had a full life and wish to pass on some trade secrets before I go. The monthly Aha Class will continue for as long as there is interest or as long as I can continue - whichever comes first!

- planned, though they didn't happen!
Cycles of History and how things change.
As an astrologer and historian, I've studied longterm cycles in history and periods of change, seeking to figure out how things do actually change. As one who is dedicated to bringing change to the world, I've had to learn a few things along the way: to everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. This talk is astrologically-based, concerning the motions of the slow-moving outer planets, but if you have little knowledge of astrology you won't get lost. It's for anyone interested in history (we go back to 600 BCE), and in trends and mechanisms of change. The first half is an overview of how it all works and the second half starts in 1890 and ends at 2100 - the times we live in.
Meeting Your Astrological Chart.
A lowdown on birth charts, and how they work as a window of insight into ourselves and our patterns and behaviours - after all, we humans are really weird specimens! In the second half we'll do an inner-journey process to visit parts of ourselves, to meet them clearly and befriend them. You'll need your astrological chart for this.
The Ancient Sites of West Penwith.
This follows on from previous talks (worth a listen - see below). It is about the difference between the Neolithic and the Bronze Ages, the way that the Megalithic era progressed and the evolving world-view of our ancient Cornish predecessors. This surprisingly advanced shamanic period of British history can give us some key clues for our current and future times.

So who is this guy?
I'm a Sixties veteran who’s still at it - a Virgo born in 1950 and officially a retired cancer patient. Originator of the UK camps movement, an astrologer, historian, geomancer, circle-worker, Palestine peacebuilder, author and webmaster. Over a half a century of this kind of thing, a stickler like me gets through a quite a lot of stuff! The same might apply to you.
Once quite central in the alternative community in Glastonbury, I now live on an organic farm near St Just in Penwith. I've been involved with psychedelics, Tibetan Lamas, inner work, ETs, ancient sites, crop formations, holistic education, peacemaking, string-pulling, social healing and word-weaving. Things like that. In some ways a mad and extreme path to take through life, yet in other ways very sane.
Bone marrow cancer, surfacing in 2019, changed everything, taking me to the edge and turning life into an uphill climb. Hampered by partial disability, I've been producing yardages of verbiage and podcasts instead.
Notes from the Far Beyond is my blog and Pods from the Far Beyond are my podcasts. Recent books include a cancer book, Blessings that Bones Bring and Shining Land, about Penwith's ancient sites. I still do remote humanitarian work (Palestine, Mali and Ghana) and I run a weekly online meditation.
When doing a talk I don't work to a script or repeat myself. Everyone receives something special for them. For something going a bit deeper, wider and further, along paths less travelled, do come.
It’s a chance to see things in new ways and gain a few clues about the next level. It's a passing on of something. It lights me up to do it. For a cancer patient, it's a kind of medicine. So thanks for that.
