This is not a passive lecture series. Each class is interactive and experiential: live discussion, real chart practice from day one, small-group exercises, and spiritual integration (mantra, meditation, ritual). You’ll be engaged, not just watching—so the wisdom becomes lived and usable.

All classes are recorded and available on our private learning platform. Recordings are secure and not downloadable, to protect confidentiality during interactive sessions. You’ll also have access to community discussion groups and optional “office hours” for questions.
Private & Confidential Space
We learn with real charts and real life. To protect your privacy, all sessions are hosted on a secure platform; recordings are view-only and not downloadable. What’s shared in class stays in our learning container.
Learning with a Cohort
Be kind. Be curious. Keep confidentiality. Ask before discussing someone else’s chart. Share from your experience; avoid absolute claims.
