WORKSHOP SEMINARS

What are Workshop Seminars?

Workshop Seminars serve two useful purposes. The first is essentially practical whilst the second is more personal in that it gives an opportunity for students to meet tutors and other students, and avoid the sense of isolation that can sometimes exist when undertaking any home study course.

Using the birth chart as an aid in counselling can be an important application of astrology but, although there are many good books on the subject of counselling, it is a skill which cannot be learned solely from the written word and requires practice in a workshop environment.

Workshops are an integral part of the syllabus of the Diploma Course in Astrological Counselling. If Counselling course students choose not to attend the workshops they are not, in any way, discouraged from completing their course but they will not be eligible for the API (UK) Diploma in Astrological Consultancy or the Swiss API Diploma.

There is no obligation for students studying for the Diploma in Astrology to attend workshops. However, all students of the School, regardless of which course they are studying, are encouraged to attend these for their own benefit.

The workshop commitment for Counselling Course students will be a total of two weeks. These are offered as four separate three-day workshop components, and students are required to attend all four. Normally, students would attend two consecutive workshops during each of the two years they would be likely to be studying.

Counselling Course workshops are normally held twice a year in the UK. They cover in-depth practical experience in astrology, psychology and counselling. Other optional seminars or workshops on specific topics are held periodically and are open to any student of astrology. The cost of workshops, and participation in the seminar offering Diploma Assessment by the Hubers is not included in the Course fee, but we endeavour to keep costs as low as possible. Details of the workshop programme are announced each year. Our aim is to make workshop participation as practical a proposition as possible, particularly for overseas students, and with this in mind arrangements are kept under constant review.
