About this series

Embodied Astrology is an intuitive and empowering approach to astrology that begins in the body.

In this in-depth experiential practitioners’ program, you’ll learn to read, interpret and translate astrology’s symbolism through multisensory awareness; access and cultivate your embodied intuition; and communicate with those whose charts you read in ways that are meaningful, direct and relevant to their lived experiences.

Enrollment is limited so sufficient time and attention can be given to all topics, and intimacy can be cultivated both within the cohort, and between Renee and each participant.

Who this series is for

This course is specifically designed for bodyworkers and healers, therapists, physical performers/dancers/actors, and others who are interested in the intersections of astrology and somatics, and astrology’s application to other modalities. 

Intermediate and advanced astrologers will gain somatic techniques and perspectives that will help deepen and integrate their practices, while beginning astrologers will appreciate an approach that leaves a majority of the math and complicated delineation rules behind and gives access to astrology through the immediate wisdom of the sensing body.

In this series, you will:

  • Craft an ethical, aligned, authentic, and intuitive practice with astrology

  • Learn to identify, interpret, and synthesize the main components of an astrology chart: signs, planets, houses, and aspects.

  • Learn how to read natal and electional charts

  • Learn how to read and forecast timing with transits, secondary progressions and annual profections through your felt-sense and somatic intuition

  • Learn how to read and support relational dynamics between two or more individuals using synastry and composite charts

  • Cultivate and practice using your embodied intuition (clairsentience)

  • Learn how to engage with curiosity, open your perception, and communicate around experiences you are personally unfamiliar with

  • Hone your awareness of nonverbal forms of communication

  • Practice nonverbal communication and transmission of energetic states of awareness with others

  • Play with “unseen helpers” and cultivate relationships with ancestors, guides and elemental energies

  • Gain skills and practices in meditation, visualization and experiential anatomy

  • Gain deeper self awareness and insight into your natal chart and learn how astrological timing affects your personal placements

  • Practice giving chart readings to others in a non-stressful, supportive environment where you can receive feedback and assistance

Testimonials

  • "I’ve loved how Renee connects astrology to movement. The results are typically quite profound because the entirety of the information covered enters my mind, heart and body spaces. The thoughts I have while listening and moving stay with me and allow me to open up to myself in ways that I find deeply impactful."

    Anonymous

  • "I've often struggled to integrate astrology and other esoteric and mystical practices into my life beyond my mind, but Renee provides profound support around integrating astrology into my embodied consciousness and the way I move through the world."

    - ES

  • "No doubt Renee is gifted with the art of teaching and helping to embody astrology, which can be such a heady subject. There can be many teachers who hold much knowledge and also teach with a bigger ego, and Renee is not one of these. She taught in a way that offered me to use my body and life around me as my sacred guide."
