Track: Live from Lecture Hall

This class will introduce the concept of Tarot Decans, their history and origins, and why they are useful tools in your tarot reading toolkit. You will also learn how to use the knowledge you acquire.

The physical realm presents us with vast opportunities for spiritual growth. The traditional imagery found in the Smith Waite system of Tarot offers us countless opportunities to ponder physical concepts such as standing in our authority, moving stuck energy, breaking free from limiting situations, and the need to protect and defend ourselves (physically, mentally, and spiritually). Drawing upon principles and techniques found in Martial Arts, we will compare physical concepts with the spiritual lessons of Tarot, allowing you to see the cards through a new lens. For example, in Martial Arts, we learn a “right” way to fall to protect our head and bones from damage. Rest assured, you will not be asked actually to fall in this class, but understanding the physical mechanics behind this technique can bring a fresh sense of empowerment to the daunting energy of the Tower card. In this class, we will liberate the sense of discomfort associated with some of the most difficult cards in Tarot by applying Martial Arts techniques used in real-world situations and engaging in active physical learning suitable for all abilities.

Expect a lively mix of metaphorical discussion, demonstrations with props, and active student participation in this class. You will also leave with a few newfound self-defense skills under your belt. This physical journey through the Tarot will empower your Tarot practice for you and your clients!

*ALL are invited! This class incorporates a few active yet straightforward movements that can be executed from a standing position, accommodating all fitness levels. Participants are encouraged to try the physical movements, but those who prefer to sit and observe are equally welcome!

Join Mitchell and explore a unique way of creating a brand-new spread from an existing concept, structure, or saying. He will share several spreads he has created. We will create one together as a group and one individually.

Join us as we discuss the meaning and importance of the twelfth house in the natal chart.  Covering the influences of the signs and planets associated with the twelfth house in your chart and how to lean into the positive influences and mitigate the negative.  Please have a copy of your natal chart available so you can get the most out of this workshop.  Free charts are available at astro.com.

Come learn a fun and intuitive method of journaling. When we stimulate our intellect and intuition with images our responses can be filled with self knowledge. Any tarot or oracle can be used for this process. Along the way you will also learn more about the deck you choose.

Bring a notebook, pen and a deck or two of any kind. Additional decks will be available to use during the presentation. 

Join your host, Christine Leiser, in the Bardic Circle. (Bring a drink from the bar if you like). Bring a story, poem, skit, game, song, or dance to share with the group. Don’t forget to bring your clapping hands, stomping feet, and singing voices. Come, be entertained, and entertain each other in reverence and mirth. Share your energy, and have a great time in the circle.

Part 1: The Magician- Discovery

In the first part of the workshop we’ll explore how to embrace your own signature style of reading tarot from what location(s) you feel best and most intuitive reading, setting up your space, opening your intuitive channel, pace of readings, niche (love readings? finding your purpose?) signature spreads and more.

Once you have found your signature style and voice, it’s much easier to launch your own brand and tarot business.

Part 2: The Emperor: Setting up your Empire

We’ll dive into:

• Defining the audience that will most resonate with your style and who will most benefit from the way you read
• Infusing your Tarot Style into your brand name and logo
• Social media, newsletters, podcasts
• Connecting with collaborators, brands, venues

Do you struggle to wrap your brain around how to read tarot more organically? Does your analytical brain get in the way of tapping into your inner voice? Does the word “psychic” make you feel uneasy? Do you ever feel like you’re just not “that type” of tarot reader? You’re not alone. I spent years trying to reconcile my deep desire to intellectualize how tarot works with the often unexplainable experiences I had working with the cards. Eventually, I realized intuition exists in the liminal space between what is logical or explainable and what defies explanation.

In this workshop, we’ll explore this liminal space together while I encourage you to explore what happens when you spend less time overthinking and more time trusting your instincts. I’ll also share my favorite technique for dipping your toes into intuitive tarot reading in a way that appeases your more analytical side. I designed this method to be simple, accessible, and repeatable so that you can focus on improving your ability to read intuitively in a practical way. If that sounds good to you, I hope you’ll join me. See you there!

So you want to make your own deck. Should you shop it out to the publishing houses? Should you do a Kickstarter? How much money might it cost you? What if you can’t draw? How will you avoid counterfeit copies? There are so many questions and it’s all so terrifying…. right? Join indie publisher Stacey Williams-Ng, founder of La Panthère Studio, for an “ask me anything” session to get ready for the scariest parts of publishing a deck.
