Cave Space
A 4-week experiential learning journey exploring Scorpio, Pluto, the 8th House, & underworld archetypes, hosted and curated by astro-mystical guide Britten LaRue
CAVE SPACE is my offering to help you feel your way in the dark and know you’re not alone.
What is a “cave space?”
A CAVE SPACE IS A RETREAT. A space to come home to yourself. To rest. To listen. To hear your inner guidance. The Hermit’s cave.
A CAVE SPACE IS AN EXPERIENCE. The underworld journey described since ancient times, when we die to some parts of our conscious self and ascend renewed and changed.
A CAVE SPACE IS A PRACTICE. An alchemical one. Of consciously allowing yourself in a regular way to listen in the dark, to the songs of the repressed, dreaming, traumatized, or otherwise unconscious self, and bring them home.
Why? To let yourself become strange unto yourself so that you might remember how wondrous you are. To resource yourself with life force that’s too long been hidden. To tap into the truth that we live to die and die to live. We can renew. We can rebirth. We can regenerate.
Many of us grew up in communities without resonant rituals, aesthetics, or libations for honoring death and rebirth initiations. We often feel alone, fucked up, despairing, and marginalized when we go through periods characterized by what astrology calls the cave space: the 8th House. And so I’ve created this offering to share wisdom, guidance, creative ideas, and mystical experiences for traveling to these parts of yourself. I will be a guide, and so will 12 of the folks I’ve gathered who I trust can help you explore the way.
I am inviting you into CAVE SPACE to initiate your own belonging to the underworld. Here you’ll find tools, nourishment, humor, and clever tips for finding your way there and back again.
I’m inviting you to know yourself where your skin peels back, revealing the shiny, slithering revitalized form of yourself that you both deeply fear and deeply desire to know.
Scorpio is the sign archetype of astrology that most resonates with the themes of the underworld. This is especially true if we loop in Scorpio’s polar sign Taurus. The Scorpio-Taurus axis – lit up in 2022 by the eclipses – teaches us about our pain-pleasure thresholds, about the intersections where our shame meets our longing and our fears meet our desires.
Wild aliveness pulses at the liminal interstices between who we have been and who is emerging in us. This is Emergence Astrology.
We have windows of life where we are plunged in deep, where there is no going back to who we were, when we are utterly changed to the cells and the bones. These aren’t just for Scorpio season either. It’s always Scorpio season in this way. We’re always dying to live.
The truth is we have underworld journeys constantly because every moment is a death. While this offering will be evocative and feel energetically resonant for those living in the northern hemisphere if you engage with it in Scorpio season, I’ve designed the CAVE SPACE to be evergreen. The exception are the 4 live meetups, which will become replays to enjoy for future participants ready for CAVE SPACE outside of this time of year.

Some Background Behind My Interest in Caves Spaces
Since before I found astrology, I have been fascinated by underworld stories, aesthetics, and experiences. In fact, my doctoral dissertation was going to be titled The Visualization of Atomic Science in Popular Culture, and I had a whole chapter written on the ways the U.S. government sold folks on the military’s building of missile silos under sparsely populated prairies and deserts all over the country. Our land is literally littered with underground weapon spaces! And I wondered what future humans would say about the ruins of these “cave spaces” when they found them.
In the process of of my research, I studied the underground as a context of myths, science fiction, and fantasy in the history of literature. I ended up writing a paper on Alice in Wonderland. Alice fell down a rabbit hole, which was a kind of below-the-surface silo for dreaming an alternate reality where the world becomes “curiouser and curiouser.” And for this project I learned a powerful term: katabasis, whose roots mean “going down.”
The katabatic journey describes a narrative structure that includes a threshold crossing, a descent, an inversion, and then a re-ascent. Any time we move through periods of change, of invitations to explore who we are in new ways, of transformation, we often feel like we’re undergoing katabasis.
Let’s look at Alice as an example, in the story the “threshold crossing” is Alice’s entrance into the rabbit hole, movement through the tunnel, and fall through the well. The threshold refers to the precipice or bridge from the normal to the liminal. Everything before the threshold is “ordinary life,” whatever has been set up by the author as the “per usual” for the character. Ordinary is how we might describe phases of life where we just go about our business and don’t feel like we’re “going through” anything in particular.
According to the katabatic structure, the “descent” refers to Alice’s meanderings after the actual fall: her efforts to get through the little door in the hallway to the garden outside, meeting the assorted characters throughout the journey, and experiencing various changes in size. In the descent, everything becomes strange. Alice has to unlearn the old rules. She meets frustrating challenges as she tries to apply Aboveworld etiquette and reasoning to the Underground. Things seem to break down, unravel, defy logic, and challenge her self-trust and sanity. She is routinely humbled, perplexed, confused, and misunderstood. She wants to be a polite, good girl the way she was taught, but the Underground seems to want something else from her.
The “inversion” in the story is the moment Alice rejects the false rationale of Wonderland during the trial scene at the end of her adventures. The Queen of Hearts tells Alice to hold her tongue, and Alice shouts, “I won’t! You’re nothing but a pack of cards! Who cares for you?” An inversion is a reversal. In Wonderland, people speak in syntactical reversals and it feels “curiouser” and “curiouser.” Alice spends most of the journey trying to get people to understand her, and in this moment, she stops trying. This is a climax in the katabatic journey because we get to witness the character taking their power back in some crucial way. She stops trying to negotiate, control, or force her way through like a child perfectly obeying the rules of her parents. The inversion can be any kind of aha moment, awakening, or healing experience that shifts and pivots the story.
The “re-ascent” follows immediately thereafter when Alice awakes on her sister’s lap and declares the whole thing a “curious dream.” The re-ascent is the return to whatever “home” is in the story, but now the character is changed. This is not the same Alice. It is often disorienting to “return” to the way things were after we experience a katabatic journey of some kind. Therapy is one of the ways in which we humans aim to contextualize and understand how to carry the ways we change and heal while still putting one foot in front of the other.
“Therapy” comes from the Greek therapeia meaning “attendance upon the gods.” This suggests that what we seek in therapeutic modalities are the right deities, archetypes, principles, or stories to bring in for integration and healing. This is part of why I love astrology and the tarot, and their related myths. You can call on the archetypes to “attend” to you: to help you awaken into your full self.
At the center of the mythology of Scorpio is the myth of Persephone and all of the related stories of journeys to the Underworld. In these CAVE SPACES we witness characters who inspire us with ways to reframe our struggles with magical language.
The spirit of CAVE SPACE is to cultivate the bravery, self-trust, and wise skills you want to have if you’re ready to call back the parts of you that fragmented off since childhood as you experienced lack of attunement from caregivers, shaming, trauma, narcissism, and other forms of overpowering, over-controlling, and overwhelm that conditioned you to hide and repress any parts of your beautiful self.
There is always an intelligence to hiding our power because that move was helping us survive and get what we needed. But in present time, perhaps you feel ready to bring that power back into your conscious self.
CAVE SPACE is a learning experience to help you access the parts of yourself that – on the one hand – you deeply desire to remember, to love, to bring into visibility, and – on the other hand – you feel a bit of terror about experiencing. Of course there’s fear! If you have been living a while without the capacity to know yourself more fully, then the unknown of it feels frightening. The unknown is like a CAVE SPACE because it’s what is under our conscious awareness. We go down and in and through.
CAVE SPACE is my offering to help you feel your way in the dark and know you’re not alone. If this is resonating, I hope to see you on the other side.
