$500 / doors will close December 5 2025 or when 30 person cap is reached

This 7 week training will deepen your capacity to hold space for humans in the consultation room and during group talks. Whether you are an astrologer, a tarot reader, an animal communicator or something else, there are tools to help. If you are just beginning to learn your divination method, it is not too early to start learning the people side of things. When we give the individuals who seek our skills a secure container, we can sit with them through more kinds of ups and downs. No matter what they’re going through.

There is a power dynamic that exists naturally between the Diviner and client. As I’ve built rapport and trust with return clients, I’ve also heard some horror stories about things other astrologers have said; callous prediction can be as devastating as missing a problem entirely. But in healing roles that don’t have structural guidelines, how do we personally draw our lines of ethical behavior?

Through a series of one on one debriefs and practice sessions, we will name our personal tensions and aptitudes and meet the tools that are there to assists us.

In its most general definition, “advocating” for someone doesn’t mean telling them what to do. It does imply that one person may be more familiar with the systems that the other one is vulnerable to, and also less personally involved. Advocacy, as a support model, acknowledges the vulnerability of people in crisis or transition and places the Advocate like a buffer in between the person and a big powerful system.

Like Advocates, Diviners are places as an intermediary between clients and the massively powerful systems of fate and co-creation.

This goal here is to uplift and affirm the agency of the people we sit with. But let me be clear. Empowerment is also about encouraging accountability. I’m sure we’ve all encountered someone who might need to hear that the power they’re wielding over others is bigger than they think it is, and they have some accountability coming. It’s empowering to take responsibility. I’m not talking about dimming the potency of your reads. But when we’re affirming their agency, they can actually hear the message.

What tools do you need as a diviner to do more good than harm? Would you use a trauma awareness checklist? How do one on one spaces function differently than groups? How do you deliver accurate reflections to many different people at once? How can we hold space for our clients and friends during real moments of collapse? What do we do when we can’t “fix it” or see an uplifting conclusion for our client. How does this differ when the person who needs support is a friend?

We are living in a period of time where care is routinely denied or undermined.

What if all of your clients could walk away from their reading with you feeling respected and met with care IN SPITE OF THE WAY THINGS ARE? That’s when we nurture the good things that can grow here. And we all need that.

I am not trying to reproduce the systems that I learned these skills inside of. This is my personal distillation of what I’ve kept with me, alongside many resources and citations. I want to bring you what stays useful. No matter what direction the society around us trends.

We will learn advocacy skills together. This includes reflective listening and using powerful questions. We’ll practice skills and learn when each one is appropriate to reach for. We’ll have role play practice around different scenarios with peers.

And through it all, you’ll define your own ideal container. What can you hold? And how can you reduce the harm that often happens when we tread too heavy with our powerful oracle boots? What kind of support is fulfilling to give? When we can stay present with unintended impact, we get more clear about the impacts we do want to have.

• Flexible drop-in hours for debriefing real current and ongoing cases
• Facilitated Peer Support groups are available every other Sunday starting December 7 (1pm EST/10am PT) and every other Thursday beginning December 18 (4pm EST/1pm PT)
• Skill Share Classes will be recorded live every Friday (12pm EST/9am PST) starting December 12 and will each contain a lesson and an assortment of practice exercises. Examples of some included topics, not all of them:
  • The Empowerment Model in practice
  • Using Divination for Reflective Listening
  • Trust Building – How we give to get & more..
  • Resolving ambivalence – a best use case for Motivational Interviewing
  • Trauma Awareness

When we talk about expertise in this class, we will talk about your lived experience just as much as any professional experience that you may have.

I have taught parts of this material on and off since 2022, but this is my first complete course all about holding space as a diviner. You do not need to be seeing clients in a professional capacity to benefit from this course. You are also not too professional already to benefit from this course.

Those of us with a client practice have generally put a unique reading style together for ourselves, some seeking training through other professions like counseling, psychology, somatics or coaching. With or without those frameworks, we still tend to work at the margins of our fields, and our praxis is uniquely personal.

I encountered the space holding techniques that I like best in 2020. I started giving astrology readings in 2016 and never stopped, but 2020 was the year I applied and trained to be a Family Advocate for a small Children’s Advocacy Center. I spent the next few years sitting one on one with many different caregivers and children, always trying my best to offer authentic support. I spent hundreds of continuing education hours learning and practicing trauma awareness. I made mistakes. I became more comfortable in the discomfort of my own activation and vicarious trauma responses and became a person who friends, fellow advocates, social workers, law enforcement officers, and school councilors would call on the phone for debriefs and feedback about how to reduce re-traumatization of the children and parents they were in contact with.

It was a relief for me to work with an empowerment model for one on one support. But the system I worked within did not operate with that same model. Now, in addition to helping people navigate through systems of corporate and state violence directly, I help individuals navigate in the face of another even more powerful system: fate and circumstance.

My synthesis of these two worlds, divination and advocacy, is unique. I’ve put together a syllabus that will be immediately useful to regular people who don’t have “how to hold space for people” kinds of backgrounds. I want to share it with you! Even the most basic advocacy skills can benefit us as diviners.
