Living the Tarot
 
In this time of outer travel restrictions are you ready to embark on an inner journey instead?

With all of life's current challenges are you seeking a reassuring map to positive change?

If you didn’t catch my New Year’s newsletter, I have a brand new online “retreat” starting very soon, on January 22, that can turn the challenging winter ahead into a quest for understanding, rather than one of anxiety and worry. How, you may ask?

Well, did you know that the most universal story ever told is depicted in the first 22 cards of the Tarot (the Major Arcana) and is one that you (and each of us) are living every day? Our six-week quest will be to re-envision your life using this most fascinating, yet most misunderstood part of the Tarot, all the while learning the meaning behind its strange and evocative imagery.

Although it won't make you into an ace reader, you will be introduced to some of the "secrets" the Tarot offers for gaining insights and perspective on the experiences we all go through on a daily basis. To help facilitate that, you will be creating your own personally relevant set of symbols or other visual record of the Tarot's main themes as they relate to your own life. No artistic ability is necessary, just the willingness to explore!
 
If you have always been curious about these mysterious cards but nervous about how to start, have felt overwhelmed trying to understand their complex symbolism, or simply want to experience them in a new way, then consider joining me on this winter quest.
 
You will love this program if
you are intrigued by the Tarot and its strange symbolism
and have always wanted to learn more.
 
With a time investment of only 10 to 20 minutes a day (or however long you want!), the enriching and mindful activities the course provides will quietly gestate all winter and transform your understanding of both the Tarot and your life's journey.

Here are some of the benefits of taking this journey:
  • The program will give your week structure and rhythm while still allowing you to choose when to engage with the content and how you engage with it.
  • You have the option to journey completely on your own or have access to others who can support and encourage you along the way
  • At the end of the program you will have a tangible record and a physical touchstone (a set of symbols or "deck" that you create yourself) to carry forward with you.

So … what is the story of your life?

Are you ready for a new quest but one that is as old as time?

Are you ready to follow an age-old map in search of the transformation it potentially leads to?
