About this Event
Join Fern of Planted Nowhere for an insightful, interactive introduction to reading tarot. If you're curious about tarot, want a deeper tarot experience, or simply want help trusting your intuition, this is the perfect place to start. No previous tarot experience required.
During this interactive class, Fern will introduce the foundational structure of tarot, including the Major and Minor Arcana, the four suits, the elements, numbers, and court cards. (You don't need to memorize every tarot card before you can begin reading.)
You'll also explore how intuitive information can appear through feelings, images, physical sensations, inner knowing, and personal associations. Workshop includes a take-home PDF of all information covered.
There is no wrong way to read tarot, there is only your way. Tarot 101 is not about one rigid method. It's designed to give you a strong foundation, while helping you develop a personal, intuitive relationship with the cards.
Tarot 101 is part of the Sunday Sunshine series at Playground Art + Coffee. Banish the Monday blues with fun Sunday art and food experiences for grown-ups.
What to expect:
The class will begin with grounding and intention-setting before moving into the foundations of tarot. Fern will guide you through intuitive card-reading exercises, a live card pull, and beginner-friendly spreads that can be used after the class.
The experience will close with reflection and a journaling prompt to help you integrate what you've learned.
