What our students said about Summer School 2024!

Summer School is my annual shot of spiritual espresso. It energizes my practice as a professional astrologer and gives me a jolt for the next phase of my personal growth

Summer School with the Faculty completely surpassed all my expectations. From the stunning college grounds to the fascinating lectures, it was all absolutely magical. Spending a full week with like-minded people who spoke my language, it was an absolute joy being fully immersed in my favourite subject and discussing astrology all day every day. I cannot recommend it enough - it's definitely the closest to Real-Life Magic School you can get. Highly recommended!!

Attending Summer School 2023 was a unique experience! Exeter College is a very atmospheric environment with all the historic background and so many hidden treasures to discover, like the Fellow’s Garden. The program was rich and diverse with many different topics. The speakers were professional, very supportive with deep knowledge of their subject, friendly and happy to share their wisdom! The other attendees, from so many different parts of the globe, were such a pleasure to meet, interconnect and have fun together. It was my first time here and I was deeply impressed by the symbiotic spirit that embraces everyone and everything! Grateful is what I feel after Summer School 2023!

FAS Summer School in Oxford became for me a defined milestone when I plan every year. It is amazing this gathering of souls that share a common passion and calling: high class astrology! I am so lucky to be able to attend since 2016, every year this wonderful event. Sharing information, new perspectives, meeting my tribe, learning new knowledge is really worthwhile and always a joy!

Luminita Ristea

I joined Module 6 in Summer School 2022. You get so much knowledge for a short time period, and of course the experience is very valuable. The time spent in Exeter Collage in Oxford was unforgettable and magical for me. It was like in a movie of "Harry Potter" - The college, the dining room, the chapel. I met many of my classmates of the previous Modules, my tutors in person, and so many new friends who are with same mindset. It's worth it!"

Zlatina Dimova

As always, it has been an extraordinary experience for me. Every time I am leaving Oxford for home I feel deeply happy and grateful for being a part of the astrological community

Tereza Bártová
