Three Day Immersive Program Details

PART 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.
PART 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.
PART 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.

NOTE

Online Peer Groups are held as a meeting/classroom format rather than an anonymous webinar. We ask that you have decent speed internet so you can be on video to participate in class (unless screen fatigue requires that you turn off your camera some of the time). You must have at least six months of paid client experience, and there needs to be 8-10 months between each Peer Group Process to allow you time to integrate what you’ve learned.
