Working on new Astrology courses for late summer

Hello Friends,

I am excited to be working on new Astrology courses. I will teach one in person entitled: Astrology as Nervous System Map: The Elements. I think the course will start in mid to late August.

I am also working on a course for the Trauma Informed Astrology training. It will be the Level 3 course. Astrology as Nervous System Map: Intermediate Tools – The natal chart as a map of survival, adaptation, and the path toward wholeness. We should be finished recording this course by the end of the summer, I hope to have it edited by late fall or sooner.

I also want to offer an Astrology course online in late summer or early fall. Let me know if this might interest you. I will send more details as they emerge.

For the in-person topic, see the description below:

Astrology as Nervous System Map: The Elements

Personality, Soul, and Subtle Mind for Bodyworkers, Therapists & Astrologers

New to astrology? Welcome — this course is designed so you can follow along from day one, with no prior chart-reading experience required. We’ll build every concept from the ground up, pairing astrological ideas with embodied, felt-sense practices that don’t depend on memorizing symbols or jargon. If you’ve ever been curious about how the planets and your nervous system might be speaking the same language, this is your entry point.

Have you ever wondered why certain astrological signs seem to “run hot” in your body, while others leave you feeling spacious or scattered? This 6-session, 18-hour in-person course bridges Western astrology with the somatic and nervous-system frameworks increasingly central to trauma-informed care — offering bodyworkers, therapists, acupuncturists, and medical practitioners a new lens for understanding the patterns they already sense in their clients (and themselves), while giving astrology students of any level a richer, embodied framework for working with the chart. Each session opens with a guided somatic practice matched to that session’s theme, grounding abstract concepts in direct felt experience before we ever open a textbook.

Organized around the four elements — fire, earth, air, and water — the course moves through three layers of meaning for each: the familiar “personality” descriptions most people recognize, the deeper soul-level qualities each sign expresses, and a subtler, more spacious layer drawing loosely on Vajrayana Buddhist concepts of mind and energy. Rather than rushing to conclusions, we’ll practice resting in not-knowing as each layer builds toward a fuller gestalt — a way of holding complexity that mirrors how trauma-informed practitioners already work with clients. The final session brings it all together with an in-depth chart walkthrough (with a volunteer’s consent), showing how these layers live together in one person’s actual astrological blueprint. No prior astrology background required — just curiosity about the body, the psyche, and the patterns that shape both.
