Three Day Immersive Program Details

DAY ONE (two 4-hour sessions on Zoom)

Challenging Client Situations

In this first day, we share wisdom and vulnerability by speaking about difficult client situations and sessions, exploring issues in an atmosphere of empathy and support. You will present the chart of a client you may have had struggles with and receive valuable perspective on possible solutions. It is surprisingly supportive to understand subtle dynamics through chart comparisons of the client and astrologer, and to discuss problems we usually attempt to handle independently. Consultation confidence, ethical awareness and performance is improved.

DAY TWO (two 4-hour sessions on Zoom)

Share Your Style of Chart Consultation
with Your Group

Each participant will analyze the chart of another participant and deliver a consultation. This is a perfect way to learn about different techniques and see how astrologers draw different themes from the same chart. In this format we trade places with our clients, learning about different analysis styles. The feedback is constructive and empathic; we learn a lot watching how other astrologers prepare and work with clients.

DAY THREE (two 4-hour sessions on Zoom)

Branding & Business Development: Your Vision
• Your Business Plan • Your Future

Put numbers to your dreams! We will create Business Plans and share key points within the group, looking at current websites and social media accounts for valuable feedback. You will create a practical plan to grow or stabilize your practice to be successful, fulfilling and enjoyable—for your unique goals. This is a time to discuss how to take things higher, or perhaps scale it down…whatever is in line for your astrology practice and for you to thrive! We nurture our professional development by exploring ways to be realistically successful.

Each group consists of 4 participants plus the group leader

The program is normally three full days in person or six half days via Zoom. Each leader will set their own preferred schedule. On Zoom most will offer 2 consecutive days each week over three weeks; Some groups are on weekends and others are during the week. Different time zones are accommodated by various group offerings.
