Interactive Learning

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.

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.
