Are you ready for an OPA Peer Group?

Are you on the path to certification as a professional astrologer?

Would you love to relax and connect in a spectacular and magical location?

Join us for a luxurious OPA Peer Group in the Anza-Borrego Desert, designed to allow a deep sense of bonding, community, and relaxation.

What is a Peer Group? This is OPA’s signature certification training for professional astrologers who have at least 6 months of paid experience. The button/link at the bottom of this page will take you to OPA’s website to learn more about Peer Group process. There are only 4 participants in a Peer Group.

Testimonials:

“…Kay is a leader who was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, loving, and supportive.” — CJ

“…I felt supported, encouraged and empowered by Kay and the other participants… It was a really rewarding experience and I feel more confident and capable as an astrologer and someone who is building an astrology business.” — JO

So often conferences and retreat trainings are a fast-paced marathon where we arrive, get up early to see the speakers, run from room to room, and then leave, barely noticing our surroundings. 

The Borrego Springs Peer Group is meant to be different — with 5 nights/6 days (for what is normally a 3-day intensive training). We will break the first day into 2 shorter days, to allow extra time for lounging, swimming, soaking, hiking, or sightseeing. There is plenty of free time and the casita offers a private, quiet space for us to enjoy a true break from our regular routines. The resort is fully equipped for fun and relaxation, offering a restaurant, yoga, workout facilities, a spa, and a lap pool…and other great restaurants in the area.

Within the La Casa del Zorro Resort, our Peer Group will stay and meet in a spacious 4-bedroom Agave Casita, with a private heated pool, hot tub, and patio area complete with cabana and chaise lounges. There are roomy living areas for our Peer Group meetings, and 4 bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms and expansive ceilings. The casita also has a wet bar, microwave, mini-fridge, and coffee maker. 

Participants have a choice of sharing a room with 2 Queen beds and an ensuite bathroom for a lower price, or a single King room with an ensuite bathroom, or a single Queen room with an ensuite bathroom. Sign up soon for your choice of room! This group is likely to sell out quickly; one space is already on hold.
