Trauma Informed Astrology site is now updated

Hello Dear Ones!

I am excited about T.I. Astrology! We have nearly completed the first course: Nervous System Foundations and we are offering a Pre-Launch Sale (limited number of seats, so check it out and purchase soon to grab your huge discount) for only $325. That is a savings of $350 from the full price.

We have updated www.traumainformedastrology.com to reflect these changes. It is happening! We have been working very diligently (while also maintaining other full-time jobs) for the past eight months. I am very proud of what we have created and the direction that these classes will be going. I had some kind of idea of how I wanted the classes to look, and then the wisdom beings showed me little tweaks that needed to happen. I am very excited about how the next classes will evolve!

People are signing up for the first course (on Teachable here: traumainformedastrology.teachable.com/p/ns-foundations-sales)

The first course should be completely done by April 20th, but you can sign up now and start watching videos immediately! We only have a few videos to finish editing and uploading. The class is 98% done! The Pre-Launch Sale ends April 19th, so sign up before you miss out on this huge discount!

Once we complete the first class, we will start on the next two classes: Western Astrology and the Polyvagal System and Preliminary Astrological Tools.

We hope to see you in class!

Trauma Informed Astrology’s first course, Nervous System Foundations (is now out)

Hello Dear Ones,

The first course in the Trauma Informed Astrology Essentials Level Certification process, Nervous System Foundations, is just about ready (we are now offering the Pre-Launch Sale, and the course will be completely ready by April 20th).

Here is a brief description of this first course:

In Trauma Informed Astrology, we are combining three large, significant topics – Somatics / Embodiment Tools; Nervous System Repair & Polyvagal Theory; & looking at how trauma can manifest in the Western Astrology horoscope. Because this is such an ambitious endeavor, the first course will be more about blending Embodiment Tools & Nervous System Repair / Theory to help practitioners (whether astrologers, yoga teachers, bodyworkers, psychotherapists, life coaches, etc) come down out of their heads and into their bodies, and to develop a better understanding of what it means to be Trauma Informed. In other words, the first course does not actually have much astrology in it (novices and neophytes will be fine to take this course).

Nervous System Foundations is the beginning of the Trauma Informed Astrology journey. In this course, we are starting to flesh out – “What is trauma?”, “What is resilience?”, “What are the Trauma Informed principles and how do we apply them?”, etc. We are also getting into the Autonomic Nervous System – the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches, and even covering a little bit about the Vagus Nerve. There are about 10 Somatic Tools which help to settle the nervous system and lead toward greater embodiment. We will discuss the Functional Range (our range of resilience) and how this applies to working with clients and students. Plus, there are two demonstration sessions included, along with discussions about those sessions and how you can use some of those tools in your own practice. On top of all this, we also discuss more about what embodiment means.

In this course, we have over 30 videos (some shorter, some longer lectures) which add up to more than 14 hours of content! With each of T.I. Astrology’s main courses (Nervous System Foundations included) come four Discussion Groups. We will be starting these groups in May of 2023 – they will be one-hour, live, online groups where we meet to discuss the material from this first course.

Therefore, the course is more than 14 hours of pre-recorded material that you can go through at your own pace. And then it includes 4 hours of Discussion Group time where you can deepen your learning and get your questions answered regarding the vital nervous system material and more.

At the moment, we are offering a Pre-Launch Sales discount. Pay $325 for the entire course – after April 20th, the price will go up to a sliding scale of $675 – $375.

Trauma Informed Astrology Essentials Level Certification process

Hello Dear Ones,

Several of you have asked what this process will look like, so this is a post specifically about the first level certification process (Essentials Level).

There are three main courses required: Nervous System Foundations, Astrology & the Polyvagal System, and Navigating the Healing Journey. On top of this, there will be an affordable Preliminary Astrological Tools class and another supplemental course which is highly recommend: Inviting More Space into the Nervous System. The Preliminary Astrology course is recommended for any non-astrologers. In other words, if you don’t competently know your way around a Western Astrology Horoscope, then you should take this course.

The pricing on the 3 main courses is $675 – $375 per class (sliding scale rates), so you can basically get those out of the way with $1,100. That will be close to 60 hours of material!

Then there are other requirements to get certified. These include attending a minimum of 10 discussion groups over a two-year period, attending a number of Supervision Groups, participating in Group and Individual Case Consults, and getting some Personal sessions – doing your own personal development work. We will be offering a few scholarships for people to be able to afford these extra requirements (preference will be given to black, indigenous, and people of color but do let us know if you have legitimate financial need). If you do not end up getting a scholarship, these extra requirements will cost $1,500 total – which includes another 30 hours of Supervision, Discussion Groups, personal sessions, etc.

I will say more about each individual class soon.

Thank you for your interest!

Trauma Informed Astrology videos are done, just a few tiny steps remaining!

Hello Dear Ones,

I am excited (and have been excited) about this process of birthing myself over the past year. Coming into acknowledgement of my intuition, wisdom, and skillful teaching abilities. I am going to let this big information sit for a second…

Being a teacher and someone who practices solid self-care all the time, is a transition – you mean I need to walk my talk all the time if I am going to be leading this ambitious project? Yes!

So, that is what I have been doing the past few months. Allowing this hatching process to complete itself. Wow – it has been an insightful journey to be sure!

And again, giving myself some time to take in this profound internal paradigm shift…

My old tendency was to readily go on to the next thing, a little voice inside was always asking, “What’s next? What’s next? What’s next?!”

Time to slow down and honor what I know, to honor who I am.

With that said…

We are now finished with the T.I. Astrology videos! Yay! Finally! And yet there remain about 8 – 10 hours of editing and other little steps before announcing and promoting the Nervous System Foundations course… We are SO close! I am making a push this upcoming week to get everything done. Once the course is uploaded and looking very crisp and professional, I will put it out there.

And being realistic, I am continuing to see clients for bodywork, healing facilitation, and nervous system repair in my office in Charlottesville, Virginia. This gives me good experiential knowledge and tools for when I go to teach nervous system repair in these courses… but it also means I rarely have a huge chunk of time to focus on this awesome ambitious Astrology project…

Therefore, I am hoping to have everything complete by the middle of April. It would be so great to have 15 – 20 (or more) people signed up by the end of April and to be starting the discussion groups then or in early May. Stay tuned! (fingers crossed!)

I have lots of great ideas for the Preliminary Astrology course that we will start recording once the first main course is out there. And Level Two – Astrology and the Polyvagal System needs to get going as well! There are have been requests to lead a Developmental Psychology & Astrology course – we will see when that manifests – probably in late fall or early 2024, basically after we complete Level Three – Navigating the Healing Journey.

Wish us luck!

T. I. Astrology getting very close!

Hello Dear Ones,

The birth process of Trauma Informed Astrology is nearly complete – at least the first course (process). We just have one more video to complete, and then there are about 12 – 15 hours of edits and little loose ends to wrap up. It is very exciting!

I am continuing to see clients in my (nervous system repair) bodywork office and as well as seeing clients online for distance sessions. (Have to pay the bills!) This is a part of why it has taken more time than expected to complete Level One.

Soon I will be announcing when and where you can sign up for the Nervous System Foundations course! We should have everything done and ready to go by the middle of April. I know, there have been a lot of delays. This process has been amazing and humbling – every time we finish one phase, another little step reveals itself.

The course includes more than 14 hours of valuable content! Plus notes and other great resources. The material is awesome, the demos are great, and the feedback so far is excellent!

I am really looking forward to getting this new chapter of my life started!

Meditation benefits (for seniors)

Hello Dear Ones,

I recently came across a good resource discussing the basics of meditation. It is geared toward how meditation can benefit seniors, however, there is good information for a broad population that is presented. Take a peek.

Here is the link: https://www.retireguide.com/retirement-life-leisure/healthy-aging/mental-wellness/meditation/

I must add, that if someone has certain issues – high anxiety, panic disorders, paranoia, or other mental health issues, then seated, static (unmoving) meditation is not a good place to start. What would be better is some form of movement meditation – whether yoga, Tai Chi, Qi gong, walking meditation, etc. Also, finding a good meditation teacher you resonate with is important.

May we all find happiness and its causes,

Kirby Moore

Trauma Informed Astrology course almost there!

Hello Dear Readers,

I have been busy so far in 2023 – lots of bodywork / nervous system repair clients in January. Now I am / we are getting more videos done for the Nervous System Foundations course. It looks like we have about six – seven hours left to complete. So the end is in sight! Yay!

The Trauma Informed Astrology certification process will include 3 main courses – and this is the first of those. Nervous System Foundations (1), Astrology and the Polyvagal System (2), and Navigating the Healing Journey (3). In addition, there will be other requirements (to get certified) as well – attending 10 discussion groups, completing assignments and attending practice groups, getting some personal sessions (somatic processing), and attending case consults.

We have postponed the launch of this first course a couple times now (Feb 15th was the second target we were aiming for). But thankfully, we should be finished with the videos in about three weeks. Then we want to send them away in a copyright application, then we will announce everything and go public in a big way. (And then we plan to get started on the second course!)

Life is busy and dynamic – I love the work I do. I love that people seem interested in the Trauma Informed Astrology idea. And I am completing trainings in Integral Somatic Psychology this month – Raja Selvam’s potent work on how to fully embody challenging emotions – which will enhance what I offer even further.

It is an interesting balancing act though – maintaining a private practice offering bodywork & nervous system repair work in-person and online four days a week. And attempting to get this course completed and out there! Wow! Just know I am working hard when I can – and still having some time for me. We are getting there though!

Hope your late winter / spring is going well!

Aquarius New Moon Discussion

Hello Dear Ones,

I did a New Moon presentation last night and it went well. Honestly though, I have been focused on getting the first Trauma Informed Astrology course – Nervous System Foundations – videos going again. I didn’t put the presentation announcement out on FB or IG. Hence it is just me and one participant. She asked some great questions though! And at the end of the video we do some Central Channel Breathing (so watch or fast forward toward the end for that!)

In the video, we discuss the Aquarius New Moon, the transition from Capricorn to Aquarius (and the maturation process involved as we shift from a personal perspective to transpersonal), and even get into Mars coming out of Retrograde.

Enjoy!

It is interesting how we took a two-month break from Trauma Informed Astrology videos (not on purpose), and that timing correlated precisely with Mars being in Retrograde. Life happened though – a great vacation to Hawaii (my birthplace), then getting sick with Covid, and then the holidays, and January starting with a blistering pace of clients! I am not complaining about abundance. Just looking back at the Timing aspects.

I am very appreciative to be back on track now with the videos. We are aiming for a February 20th completion date for the first course, which will be available on Teachable. Plus, there will be live, online discussion groups and practice sessions available!

Thank you for visiting!
