Technology Needs
If you need a computer, we ask that you bring alternate forms of displaying your slideshow. Publish as a PDF and email to yourself and PSA, and store on a flash drive. Consider web-based hosting such as Prezi, Google Slides, Dropbox to avoid a computer-to-projector glitch.

Date Preferences
Having an open schedule is great for PSA to schedule, but sometimes life isn't that way. Are there generally days of the week that are usually open for you? What are your suggestions for this class?

Please explain your personal views on the 12-Letter Alphabet and it's use.
Inclusion, Diversity and Intersectionality *
PSA has a goal to teach astrology through an anti-oppression framework. What inclusion education or experience have you had to best appeal your lecture to a wide number of people without excluding people?
(This certainly is not limited to sexual orientation, however a great place to start is with the Queer Astrology movement or a teleclass done by PSA's own Rhea Wolf as a resource http://portlandastrology.org/digital-downloads/rhea-wolf-gender-in-astrology-re-envisioning-our-language-for-a-gender-queer-future)
Thank you for sending us your submission to speak at PSA. Although we have received your application, we may not contact you. Submissions are reviewed in the middle of each quarter as we prepare to build classes for the upcoming term. Classes are selected by the programming panel and applicants will be notified whether or not we can host you.
Thank you again for your interest in the Portland School of Astrology.
