About this Event
This season's series of Tarot Circles is an opportunity to learn and practice tarot in a collaborative setting, through shared interpretation and processing. Together, we’ll explore various ways to interpret and derive meaning from the images and stories within tarot. Our time together will flow between socializing, sharing, and exploring our decks and resources (in whatever way you feel comfortable), culminating in an intentional series of card pulls.
These gatherings are designed to offer insights and opportunities for self-reflection within a community context, promoting authentic openness in a safe and nurturing environment. Inspired by Jessica Dore’s approach in Tarot for Change, which blends tarot with modern therapeutic concepts, we will:
- Engage in a guided tarot meditation and various card spreads to set intentions, reflecting on how the mythic imagery of tarot supports modern concepts like mindfulness, acceptance, and compassion
- Learn techniques for interpreting the energies and messages from your tarot cards, drawing from psychological and spiritual insights to deepen self-understanding
- Explore practices for nurturing our intentions using tarot as a tool for personal growth
- Receive input on integrating mental health and self-care practices, drawing from expertise in Mental Health First Aid
- Create a space that fosters deep listening and non-judgmental practice within the collective
Before the circle, please have your tarot deck, a journal, and any other divination or mindfulness tools you prefer ready. If you don’t have a deck, let us know, and we’ll be happy to provide one for you during the event.
