Tarot for Spiritual Growth (Live Online)
October 3rd, 6 pm to 8 pm Pacific
Location: Your House via Zoom!
Hello Tarot Enthusiasts!
Experience the Tarot For Spiritual Growth with Meditation, Visualization, Intentional Writing, and Mysticism.
Spiritual tools connect us to our deepest selves, and the Tarot offers a tool to meet these spiritual gems with a Beginner's Mind. Each time we pull a card, we have an opportunity to connect, to feel, to grow. We'll be working with the Tarot through:
Meditation: There are many ways to meditate from chanting, empty mind, to candle gazing. We'll be exploring various ways, and then experience meditation through the Tarot.
Visualization: A form of meditation, visualization with a Tarot card can open up deep places within us, give us beautiful motivating ideas, and take us farther along our spiritual path.
Intentional Writing: Taking our intentional thoughts and bringing them through our bodies, our arms, and hands and onto the page (not the computer!) has huge impact on stuck thoughts, spiritual ruts, and can create big "AHA" moments. Intentional Writing with Tarot is a spiritual experience that takes us beyond our limited and brief thoughts to our open hearts.
Mysticism: It is said that the purpose of mysticism is to create a direct connection with the Divine, the Universe, God/Goddess, or All-That-Is. One way to experience this is through contemplation with the Tarot, and we'll do this in a very hands-on way.
You will also be doing readings for yourself to ascertain how you can connect more deeply to the Divine.
Cost: $15

New 9-Week Tarot Course Begins
October 15th Live Online
In-Depth Tarot: A Spiritual Journey to Personal Growth
With Sally Dubats
In this live 9-week course you will learn to read the Tarot though your own intuition, and learn how to read the images as stories as you go deeply into the creative realm.
At the core of the In-Depth Tarot course, you will discover a new way of looking at the cards as a whole, learning vital relationships between the cards. This course is not about memorizing individual cards; the cards are a system. Once you learn the system, which is simple, you can read any card. In-Depth Tarot teaches you about the entire forest, not just one squirrel.
This method makes reading the Tarot accessible to everyone. The Tarot was created prior to the mass dissemination of literature, and people were more accustomed to seeing stories and symbols in the cards. Today you can learn from your ancestors, while removing the superstition, and use the archetypes and symbols to access the creative part of your brain - and that's the part that "reads" any and every card like a genius.
Each week you will study a facet of the Tarot that brings a new and deeper understanding to the cards. This course work is for beginners as well as students with a long background of study. This course is not about memorizing a single card, and those who have studied the cards for years have remarked that they finally understand the cards without the use of reference materials. The cards come to you.
You will begin each week with a short grounding meditation to help you focus and become present. You will then study a new aspect for reading and interpreting the cards which will alternately incorporate journaling, meditation, visualization, story boarding, or oracle work. You will also learn numerology, information about the Hero's Journey, and Jungian studies to incorporate into your readings. We'll even do a fun, sensual (non-sexual) exercise with roots in Tantric philosophies designed to help you tune in to your body's natural signals to hone your intuition.
Each week you will have reading practice, sometimes reading for yourself, and more frequently with other students to integrate each new technique.
And at the very core of this work is understanding the cards as Families, nine groups of cards based on numerology that tell a complete story of sisters, brothers, ancestors, and your Self, in the form of your Soul Card - a card unique to you based on your date of birth.
Homework is minimal, and simply consists of pulling a card a day for yourself using the newest weekly technique, building on previous weeks, and noticing your world through the eyes of the Tarot as you go about your days.
You will learn:
- Major and Minor Arcana
- The Elements
- The Court Cards
- Numerology
- Tarot Symbology
- The Hero's Journey
- Demystifying the "Shadow Cards"
- Intuition exercises
- Advanced Practices
You will have weekly interactive reading practice and move into advanced skills by the end of the course.
Many, not all, are able to confidently read professionally upon completion of this course; this is especially true if you have some prior love of or history with the cards.
