One of the most wonderful things about Tarot is that it speaks both to the big picture experiences of life, as well as those of our day-to-day existence. Focusing on the realms of inspiration, creativity, and action; thoughts and plans; feelings, hopes, and dreams; and work, vocation, and skills--the four suits and 56 cards of the Minor Arcana are the ones that dive most deeply into our daily lives.
Please join us for the first of an upcoming series of four workshops that explore in-depth the Minor Arcana of the Tarot. Our first workshop will focus on the suit of Wands, which are associated with fire, creativity, inspiration, goals, action, and empowerment.
Topics explored include the significance of the four suits of the Minor Arcana and their associations; symbolic elements of the individual Minor Arcana cards of the same suit and the story progression between them; and the significance of court cards. The workshops are experiential, with plenty of activities to help deepen your comfort with Tarot and understanding of this journey through the Minor Arcana. While the workshops cover basic principles, comfort comes with practice. For this, optional resources and activities are also offered to help as you independently practice and refine your skills.
Folks newer to Tarot are very welcome, though prior exposure to the cards is helpful; at the end of the day, you only need a deck and desire to explore the interpretive possibilities of the Minor Arcana and their relevance for your daily life.
NOTE: You will need access to a Tarot deck for these workshops. Please feel free to bring a deck you have; if you need to acquire one, Inspired Living (Boyne City) and Poetess and Stranger (Petoskey) have a variety of great options.
Cancellations are non-refundable within 48 hours of this event.
