Alexandra Merrill has been working in the realm of womens' group work, archetypal and mythic patterns and international education since the 1970s. Her transnational feminist experience and her process theory enrich the astrological content in this program. Her expertise lies in teaching about archetypal processes in group life, comparative mythologies and cross-cultural themes which are always embedded in group life. She works with the visible and invisible differences, the unconscious processes and the legacies of oppression which are both empowering and inhibiting the growth of the life force in the collective. As a feminist she always seeks to focus the group work on the processes which oppress the human spirit in men and women and then collaborate with the group in lifting the oppressive energy of the system.

Alexandra is currently involved in an action-research project with several women' s groups in Maine about how the Lunation cycle impacts women's moods,sense of personal agency and leadership practices. Also working on a book, The Embodiment and Practice of Female Authority about her learnings about relational processes between women in womens' groups and communities, she works at home.
