Whether you are an astrologer or involved in another healing profession, this workshop will provide you with take-away knowledge that will give you a greater understanding of your clients’ wellness needs as well as lifestyle recommendations that you can offer them. Through a mixture of lecture, dialogue, and experiential learning, you’ll learn jewels of natural healing to promote both your clients’ well-being as well as your own.
