Jessica has a robust clinical background in both Western & Eastern Medicine. In 2005, she graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a Bachelor of Science degree in Women’s Health & Psychology. In 2009, Jessica returned to the University of Massachusetts Amherst for a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree graduating at the top of her class. Currently, she is a practicing Registered Nurse working in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Post-Operative Care (recovering surgical patients) in a hospital in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Northern California.
Her experience in the medical field fostered a deep passion for preventative medicine. As result, she went back to graduate school at Chamberlain University and became a Family Nurse Practitioner. She is now also working in the primary care setting, happily offering preventative care to her patients .
Over time, Jessica came to realize that holistic care is required for people to sustain optimal health throughout life. This understanding is what led her to explore Āyurveda. She began an independent study of this comprehensive Indian medical system in 2011. Jessica was granted scholarship from 'Organic India' and completed a ten-month Āyurvedic Herbal Apprenticeship program. Her schooling continued on and entails the California College of Āyurveda, ĀYU Academy, and lastly, the Samudra Āyurvedic Physician program with Vaidya Kashyapa Fisher.
It is through Āyurveda that Jessica discovered Vedic Astrology. Her studies began in 2017 with Freedom Cole’s Science of Light Program and she has continued to deepen her studies within the tradition ever since. Her specialty is in Medical Astrology or Āyurjyotiṣa. Within the birthchart, the strengths & weaknesses of the body are revealed. The birthchart also serves as a guide to upcoming periods of good & bad health an individual may encounter. Jessica’s remedies are based on the unique astrological findings in a person’s chart.
Jessica offers consultations in health and well-being through the lens of Jyotiṣa, Āyurveda and Allopathic medicine.

Mrinmoyee is in a long term love affair with Mother India, the land of her spiritual birth. She has lived primarily in India for the last 2 decades, and while she appreciates most all aspects of the culture, Vedic Astrology, Meditation, and Devotional practices have been her primary focus.
Having grown up in the US, she deeply sees the need for the Vedic sciences in the modern western life. She lived for 10 years in an Indian Buddhist spiritual community in North India where meditation and seva (service) were the foundations of her practice. Here she experienced the traditional teachings passed down through a lineage that is customary in India. As her interest in Vedic Astrology grew it took her to different regions and teachers of India and the US. She has studied Vedic Astrology for the last 10 years, and has given hundreds of readings to people all over the world in the last 5 years.
She offers introductory workshops on Vedic Astrology, and retreats in India. But the main focus of her work is personalized birth chart consultations. She has studied with both traditional and modern teachers, and gives a traditional analysis of the chart combined with a modern, applicable interpretation. While Vedic Astrology is Hindu in its origins, a person need not be following that path to benefit from her readings. Advice on career, relationships, finances, ideal living locations, and spirituality are just some of the areas of life that can be covered in a session. Learn more at mrinmoyeeastrology.com

6 Week Spanish Course
& Spanish SOL 1
Gabriel desde pequeño sintió atracción por el cielo, las estrellas, y por los secretos escondidos en la inmensidad del universo. Ha estado vinculado con la filosofía, prácticas y rituales védicos desde hace más de quince años, tiempo en el que ha podido conocer y compartir con grandes maestros y maestras a lo largo de toda la India.
Después de una exhaustiva búsqueda de una escuela tradicional donde aprender Astrología védica, en el año 2016 después de escuchar hablar acerca de Pandit Sanjay Rath (fundador del Devaguru Bṛhaspati Center en India), entró en contacto con la tradición de Śrī Achyutānanda Dāsa, a través de la guía y enseñanzas directas del renombrado astrólogo Visti Larsen de quien continuó aprendiendo por cuatro años.
Desde el año 2020 a la fecha continúa sus estudios junto a su maestro Freedom Cole, de quien ha recibido invaluables conocimientos de las ciencias esotéricas de oriente y occidente junto con un entendimiento holístico del ser, las emociones y la mente; esto lo ha llevado a practicar la Astrología védica tradicional como una herramienta terapéutica y de autoconocimiento aplicada al mundo moderno.
Desde 2017 Gabriel se dedica profesionalmente a la práctica de la Astrología védica tradicional, impartiendo clases y seminarios en diferentes países, y ayudando a cientos de personas a lo largo de todo el mundo a entenderse y desarrollarse a través de la Astrología. Su naturaleza serena, confiable y honesta le brinda un carácter singular al desempeño de su labor como astrólogo, donde cada lectura o sesión se ve marcada por una clara y empática interpretación de las posiciones planetarias, ayudando a las personas a entender ciertas tendencias, patrones de condicionamiento, a ser conscientes de su naturaleza y tener herramientas para su desarrollo y plenitud.
Desde el 2013 Gabriel reside en India, encontrándose actualmente en la ciudad de Mysore, lugar desde donde ofrece lecturas online para todo el globo y continúa con sus estudios de gramática y literatura sánscrita junto al Dr. Guha Viśvanātha en el prestigioso Maharāja Sanskrit College, recitación de mantras védicos junto a M.S. Shreedara de los Challakere brothers, y filosofía, rituales védicos y tántricos con el Dr. Shalvapille Iyengar, experto académico, Doctor en arqueología y practicante de la filosofía Viśiṣṭādvaita Vedānta.

6 Week Spanish Course
& Spanish SOL 1
Eleonora es una dedicada astróloga védica, instructora de yoga y facilitadora de técnicas de meditación y respiración, comprometida con el crecimiento personal y el bienestar integral. Originaria de Udine, Italia, se mudó a México, donde inicialmente se dedicó a la enseñanza y la traducción, pero en 2010 decidió seguir sus verdaderas pasiones: el yoga, la respiración, la meditación y la astrología védica.
Después de completar diversas certificaciones de yoga en Europa, México e India, Eleonora comenzó a compartir sus conocimientos con la idea de que esta disciplina va más allá de las posturas en el tapete, siendo un camino hacia el autoconocimiento y la evolución personal.
Un punto crucial en su vida fue un grave accidente en 2013 que la llevó a descubrir el poder transformador de la respiración circular consciente (breathwork) y la meditación, durante su recuperación. Tras formarse en Italia, comenzó a ofrecer sesiones individuales y grupales de breathwork, mientras profundizaba en diversas técnicas de meditación, participando activamente en la organización de retiros Vipassana y organizando cursos de meditación en línea con reconocidos maestros de la India. Actualmente, su práctica personal se centra en la meditación con mantras, vinculada a sus estudios védicos.
En pandemia Eleonora decidió profundizar su conocimiento en astrología védica a través de las enseñanzas de Freedom Cole, alumno de Sanjay Rath (linaje Śrī Achyutānanda Dāsa). Se sintió atraída por su extenso conocimiento de las ciencias védicas, su forma de explicar conceptos complejos de manera sencilla, su gran capacidad de síntesis y su oratoria inspiradora. Al mismo tiempo, Eleonora colaboró en la traducción al español de los textos de Freedom, motivada por el deseo de compartir su magnífico trabajo y de poner la sabiduría milenaria de los Vedas al alcance de quienes no conocen el inglés o no pueden viajar a la India.
Integrando estas enseñanzas en su trabajo previo de acompañamiento, Eleonora ofrece lecturas personalizadas, brindando a sus clientes no solo comprensión y orientación en varios aspectos de la vida, si no también herramientas eficaces para vivir en manera más armoniosa.
Hoy, continúa su formación en Jyotiṣa con el Parāśara Jyotiṣa Course, sigue colaborando en la traducción de textos de Freedom Cole y comparte su conocimiento a través de lecturas y cursos.

Julie graduated with honors from UNC- Chapel Hill with a degree in English and Science education and from Duke University with a Master’s in Theology. She is an interfaith minister, Reiki Master teacher, Ayurvedic Councilor, Astrologer, wife, and mother.
In her own words: As long as I can remember, I have had a wide range of interests and curiosities about a variety of subjects. In reflection now, this is mostly because I have a genuine interest in people and their stories. Sitting and listening to my Uncle Hoyle as a child talk about building a bicycle that could fly turned into eating with the homeless alongside a major highway in graduate school. I feel really grateful that others have shared their experiences and wisdom with me without reservation throughout my life.
My calling into ministry looked a little different than I or others imagined, but my path had hidden gems such as Ayurveda, Reiki, Yoga, and Jyotish. Growing up in a small rural town, I thought I had a new idea when I discovered these. I can say I truly became self-aware when I became a mother. I wanted to create a space for my daughter to bond with herself and the natural world. Needless to say, I had no idea how to do so. But I had the desire and I believed one step at a time, I would be guided. I can say, the divine has never failed me. I have found answers, healing, redirection, and resolution in all of my life’s trials and triumphs. I love watching my husband garden and make tinctures, I like sewing, and watching both of my daughters' create music and dance, and listening to the life stories of those willing to share. I think my purpose is simple but not without daily effort: Enjoy life and give to it. When the sun sets, and I can say that I have helped someone truly feel seen and able to take their next steps, then that is a really good work day for me: Julie Caroline

Namaste 
, I'm Divyam Sharma.
My quest has been to discover what lies beyond our visible senses. An appeal to the enigmatic. This led me to study the Tantric philosophy as elucidated by Abhinavagupta where I was exposed to teachings that met exactly what I was looking for. Then, as the topic of Karma came up in my studies, I became fascinated with it. All of a sudden a hope that life might not be entirely random dawned upon me. This eventually brought up the topic of jyotiṣa–an ancient Vedic discipline that illuminates the path forward, offering insights into the intricate dance of time, space, and human destiny.– and when it grew interesting enough for me to offer my intellectual flame in the Vedic fire (Jyotiṣa is a Vedanga, or limb of the Veda, related with the eyes), I was blessed with direction to study this. Through grace, I've had the privilege of exploring the Science of Light (L1 & L2) and Pursuing PJC (Year 3). I'm also delving into the profound teachings of Shiva Mahapuran and the mystical realm of Mantra Sastra. As I walk this path, I'm humbled by the wisdom and grateful for the guidance of the tradition Explore more at: https://divyam.life
"I just finished the 6 week intro course with Divyam and would love to share some feedback on my experience. First, Divyam is so knowledgeable! I loved how he brought such rich layers to our intro topics and he clearly answered all of my questions each session. His teaching style is authentic and an excellent balance between focused and fun! I really enjoyed his ability to different knowledge levels and also that he shifted gears smoothly between basic and more complex answers depending on the audience. I really enjoyed this course - Thank you so much for creating such great introductory content and providing a dynamic teacher!" -Amy
