Personal
Eric's journey started out in psychology and science, then took a sharp turn towards the contemplative. He left mainstream academia to study Transpersonal Psychology, which immediately led to astrology. Eric is now most interested in complementing understanding with spiritual experience (meditation, ceremony, arts, nature, relationship). He has been fascinated by various nondual teachers, and sees so much room for his personal and professional growth by learning of, and integrating, this wisdom. Like you, he is on a path toward greater awakening.
Eric Meyers, M.A. is both a counseling astrologer and an author/philosopher, currently living in Asheville, NC. With a background in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology (Naropa University), his focus is on how astrology relates to the process of spiritual awakening. As a graduate of the Steven Forrest Apprenticeship program, Eric would be considered an "evolutionary astrologer" -- though his work seeks to add a transpersonal angle to this growing field. Learning to live in a non-attached way has been a central focus in recent years, and this non-judgmental perspective informs his counseling and writing. Eric's fourth book, Elements & Evolution: The Spiritual Landscape of Astrology, was released in July 2010. As a true breakthrough work, Eric is now attaining broader recognition as a unique and fresh voice in the field. Eric has lectured at several astrology conferences and groups, book stores,metaphysical fairs and other venues. He is available for speaking engagements, consultations and astrology tutoring. He runs Soul Vision Consulting with his partner, Sajit Greene. His deepest desire is to contribute to the renewal of astrology at this pivotal time in human history.
