Joyce Retires from Tutoring

After 24 years, Joyce Hopewell is retiring from actively tutoring students. She will continue as APAs Principal Emeritus. Here are some words of appreciation for these many years of selfless service from past and current tutors: Richard Llewellyn writes: Joyce Hopewell Teacher extraordinaire! Whether in a workshop or working one to one with a student, Joyce has that wonderful quality of enthusiasm which, for me, is the most important quality of a teacher. OK, you need to know your subject which she does of course, but to motivate a student to learn you have to be able to excite him or her to want to learn, and Joyce has the ability to do just that. Ive never been a student of Joyces but I have worked many times with her in workshops and in groups and those occasions are some of the happiest of my memories of API. She can be wonderfully creative and can bring astrological psychology to life, whether vocally, graphically, musically or through movement and make it fun. And I can think of no better way to help students remember what she is teaching them. Kathy Rogers writes: I first met Joyce in 1997 when she and Richard Llewellyn led a workshop in Manchester. This was a time when I was exploring different approaches to astrology and the workshop was an introduction to the Huber method. During the day, Joyce taught with huge enthusiasm, passion and great clarity. I came away from that day with a much deeper understanding of many astrological concepts, a very beautiful chart that had been handled with respect during the sessions, and an appetite to know more. Over the next decade, I attended over 30 workshops

run by Joyce, many as part of Contact North West, which offered opportunities to meet other students and tutors as well as learning about different aspects of the Huber method. The day spent with Joyce and Richard in 1997 started me on a journey that was to see me become a Diploma holder and a tutor. At each step, Joyce has been there to teach, guide, mentor and support. For those of you who think in terms of astrological cycles, you may have noticed that my relationship with Joyce has, at 14 years, just reached the time of the first Saturn opposition. Rose Elliot suggests this gives us the chance to look back at what weve already achieved and to evaluate ourselves against the Saturnine aspects of life: authority figures and the disciplined structure of our lives. When I reflect on Joyces work as a tutor with the APA through this lens, she is first and foremost a superb teacher, whether through the correspondence courses, workshops or her writing both her blog and her books. She has been Principal of the APA, providing a steady hand to guide the APA through many years of change. She also helped to guide the APA through several transitions in its structure, encouraging many people to become involved in running the School when it was run through the School Council and, latterly, in the move to its current format as a Limited Company. I would like to use this opportunity to thank Joyce for all her work over the years as a tutor, as Principal, as a mother hen when I first became a tutor and as a friend and colleague who has always held aloft a torch for Huber astrology. Wishing Joyce a very happy retirement from tutoring. Trish Crawford writes: Your time and positive support as mother hen tutor was much appreciated as is of course your immense efforts and work for APA over the years.

Congratulations on another excellent issue of Conjunction. It is good to see more new authors. I was particularly interested in John D. Groves article with the synchronistic confirmation of the Huber Age Point and his dream... and the synchronicity was not just with the Crossing Points. His resistance to taking on a menial role and his dream was just at the change of sign from Leo to Virgo, and no matter how hard he tried, the menial sign of Virgo won out, confirming the Huber description of the signs as being consecutively developmental in life. It is good also to realise that other professions are combining the Huber Method with their own. Of course, we know that from the Astrolog articles, but I had not known of it in the Englishspeaking world. Catharine Collier, South Africa Response from John D. Grove: I feel the confirmation that others are introspective and taking their dreams into account is a tribute to Conjunctions readership. I would recommend those who further wish to explore their dreams to use: At A Journal Workshop (Writing to Access the Power of the Unconscious and Evoke Creative Ability) by Ira Progoff, Pd.D.
