Astrology looks at how the energetic patterns of the stars and planets that were in the sky when we were born impact our personality and life events. Personality Type (based on the work of psychologist Carl Jung and accessed through the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator™) looks at personality based on biological differences in how we are wired to interact with the world and how our personality develops over time. Both systems offer enlightening frameworks for understanding self and others and making meaning of life’s gifts and challenges. Over time the two of us have found an added richness from combining and integrating these two lenses. We invite you to learn how to apply them, separately and together, to your own life.

This 5-day workshop includes:

• Detailed birth charts and reports for each person
• Teaching about astrological signs, houses, planets, and nodes, and their influence in each person’s birth  chart
• Exploration of each person’s personality Type through Jungian psychology
• How personality Type manifests during stress  and how to use stress to access the unconscious for growth and enhanced well-being
• How birth chart and personality Type interact and influence each other
• Using astrology and Type theory to understand others
• Insight into personal gifts, challenges, and self-development over time
• Using astrology and personality Type to navigate one’s life path

Affirmation from a 2022 Workshop Participant   “I wanted to say a special thank you for your leadership of the Astrology and Typology workshop at Hope Springs Institute. I feel that it was a seminal moment in my life in which the stars of so many dimensions came together to give clarity to my life. The time was filled with positive and enlightening moments. The most important part for me was clarity out of the confusion of the past year. Not only did the topics of the workshop bring meaning to my life, but the beautiful land spoke to me so clearly about my birth in Appalachia to the ability to come there as a student of the ancient ways. Each element was important - the classes, the laughter, the play, the labyrinth, the GF/DF food, the birding, and especially the Spirit House. In creating a total experience and listening so deeply, you so delicately yet clearly helped me sort through my confusion and bring clarity to the information and my life. For this and so much more, especially creating a setting which was truly safe and in which I could speak and be heard, I am grateful."
