T. I. Astrology Classes
How do Nervous System challenges manifest in the Birth Chart? How can we repair them? Offering tools for nurturing resilience and greater compassion.
Trauma-Informed Astrology Certification Classes:
T.I. Astrology Essentials Certification:
The first tier of T.I. Astrology Certification is the T.I.A. Essentials Level. Here are some of the requirements to complete this certification process:
To get the first level (Essentials) certification, you will need to go through Three Teachable courses online:
Nervous System Foundations
Western Astrology & the Polyvagal System
Navigating the Healing Journey
These are the three main courses required for Certification. However, we highly recommend that you also take the Western Astrology Foundations Course to prepare for Western Astrology & the Polyvagal System.
In addition, there are other requirements including attending monthly discussion groups, case consults, and demo sessions. All totaled, the Essentials Certification process will provide participants with more than 60 hours of material: videos, demos, discussion groups, etc. See the video below explaining more of these details.
We are planning to offer a package where you can get a discount on most of these requirements when you purchase the bundle. Nervous System Foundations is now available on Teachable. You can purchase the class here: T.I. Astrology Teachable Sales Page.
Nervous System Foundations
Info
This class is for anyone interested in becoming trauma informed. For this first level, you don’t need to know much about astrology.
It is designed for Therapists, Nurses, Yoga Teachers, Coaches, and Astrologers. In this first course, you don’t need to know much about Somatic Process work or therapeutic practices. It is for beginners, and yet we delve deeply into the topics offered. You will get a lot out of taking this course!
We will cover nervous system basics - autonomic nervous system, functional range, resourcing the nervous system, “what is trauma?”, and introduce the nervous system repair process.
In addition, this class includes introductory theory and gentle somatic techniques from embodiment lineages. A safe, gentle class for those who want to grow and stretch themselves in a container based on mutual well-wishing and collaboration. It is best to go in order with these classes (taking this one first).
Schedule
This is an online class. The videos are now available on Teachable. Please go at your own pace. There are class notes and other materials to supplement this vital material.
The fee for this class includes four Discussion Groups. These discussion groups will be held weekly starting in the fall of 2023. In these live, online groups, you can get your questions answered and we will unpack the material further.
Western Astrology & the Polyvagal System
A brief video discussing the benefits of taking the T.I. Astrology Nervous System Foundations course
Info
In this class, we will dive into the Western Astrology chart. It is highly recommended that you know your way around the horoscope - at least know the meanings of the planets, the zodiac signs, the elements and qualities, and the astrological houses. Knowing a bit about the aspects and the angles will be important as well.
If you are newer to astrology, or if you just want some good quality review, we recommend you take the Western Astrology Foundations Course before taking this level.
In this course (Astrology & the Polyvagal System), we will look at how we can start to see potential for overwhelming stress in the birth chart. And we will discuss what to do with that information. We will unpack the Astrological Hemispheres and the Nervous System, start to get into the Developmental (Psychological) Meanings of the Planets, the deeper meanings of the Outer Planets (including Saturn) and more!
You must take the Nervous System Foundations course first as we will use that material as we start to weave together astrological wisdom and nervous system repair techniques. If you already have a solid background in Nervous System Repair techniques, we can discuss giving you an exemption to this rule (from completing some SE training, Hakomi, NARM, or another trauma resolution system, please contact us to discuss bypassing the first level).
This class will be available online on Teachable. There will be a manual to go along with the videos.
The fee for this class includes Four Discussion Groups. In these live, online groups, we will discuss and further refine the material.
Schedule
This class will be available by December of 2023.
Navigating the Healing Journey
To take this class, you must complete the first two classes (above). You will need to have a good base of astrological knowledge to easily traverse this material.
In this class, we further deepen our tools for being with overwhelming stress. We will continue learning Nervous System Repair theory and techniques. And we will blend it all with Astrological techniques!
We will look at sympathetic & parasympathetic dominant systems (and charts) and discuss ways to work with both. We will continue to cultivate greater embodiment with easy somatic exercises. We will look at how different astrological aspects can affect our resilience and the functional range. We will discuss the threat response ladder and more!
This class will be available on Teachable. In addition to the videos, there will be notes and other supplemental materials.
The fee for this class includes four Discussion Groups. In these live, online groups, we will discuss and unpack all the material required for the Essentials Certification level.
This class will be ready sometime in the spring of 2024.

Stress, Over-coupling & Astrology

Timing Aspects
In this course, we will get into Transits, Secondary Progressions and Solar Arc Directions. These prognostication techniques are very insightful both for ourselves and our clients.
