First-Year Astrology Certification Course: Ancient Astrology for the Modern Mystic

While the first-year certification course focuses on Hellenistic ancient astrology, I’m also conversant in a wide variety of different astrological schools of thought and frequently incorporate elements of modern archetypal and psychological astrology in my courses.

My study of yoga and astrology began in the depths of countless visionary experiences while studying ayahuasca shamanism over the course of more than 10 years and 100 ceremonies. I consider this my first and primary teacher of astrology.

In a more traditional sense, my most impactful astrology teachers and influences include Rebecca Gordon, Christopher King, Geoffrey Cornelius, John Frawley, Robert Schmidt, Chris Brennan, Liz Greene, Richard Tarnas, James Hillman, Demetra George, Deborah Houlding, James Holden, Steven Forrest, and too many others to name!

All of my courses are designed for students of all levels, including those brand new to astrology. Whether you feel called to study astrology as a form of personal enrichment, or you feel called to develop a professional or semi-professional reading practice, learning the language of ancient astrology will benefit you for the rest of your life.

Live classes will be held via zoom sessions, but each class is recorded, and students may also participate in the program remotely.

I hold two programs each year, one starting in the Fall and one in the Spring.

The next Fall program will meet on Saturdays from 12:00 to 2:30 pm EST, starting on November 13th, 2021. It is now open for enrollment.

The next Spring program will meet on Sundays from 12:00 to 2:30 pm EST starting in June 2022. The exact start date will be announced when enrollment opens in November.

Although our programs are big, we offer a variety of services to make sure that students are personally cared for throughout the program. Our classroom discussion forum is staffed with experienced tutors who are there to help answer questions you have about classroom material. I am available to answer questions by email throughout the year. In between modules, we also host breakout study sessions led by our staff who are there to answer questions that you might have. It is also quite common for students to independently form study groups outside of class through our discussion forum. Our motto is: "no question goes unanswered when you're in our classrooms."
