Description
There are twelve workshops following the wheel of the year – one for each month. Each workshop comes as a live link and a downloadable PDF with an art project, tarot teachings and journaling prompts, some have videos.
1. ARCHETYPES
There are many ways to explore which cards relate to you in the tarot. You might automatically identify with certain cards because you share characteristics with them. The major arcana specifically identifies twenty two archetypes that include the mother, father, teacher, lover etc. In this workshop we will work with three aspects that are present within you, finding the cards that represent those qualities and give voice to the archetypes. January/ New Year
2. RELATIONSHIPS
Relationships are the questions most asked of tarot. In this workshop we will be looking at an important relationship in our lives, whether it is with a beloved, some-one we struggle with or even ourselves. I will offer a spread which will help to find clarity and insight and share an art project which will tap into a creative, intuitive way of processing these matters of the heart. February/Valentines
3. BALANCING MIND, BODY and SPIRIT
Using the swords, pentacles and wands in tarot, we will receive guidance on how to balanceour mind, body and spirit. We will create a visual journal piece that will bring together our wisdom and creativity in this soulful project. March/Equinox
4. THE FOOL’S JOURNEY – A treasure map
The Fool is both the beginning and the end of the archetypical journey of the soul through the major arcana. In this workshop we will be working with our own inner Fool – the one who is open and trusting and ready for the adventure. We will be making a treasure map using the cards we pull in the Fool’s spread. April Fool’s
5. CALLING DOWN THE MOON
The moon has a powerful effect on nature and on our emotions. In this workshop we will explore the Moon card in tarot and be doing a special spread calling down the moon. Creating art and writing about how we relate to the moon will give us insight on how we can harness the energy of the moon. May/Beltane
6. JOURNEY TO THE SUN
The Sun is one of the most positive, life affirming cards in the tarot. In this workshop we will be harnessing the energy of the Sun. On a journey to the Sun we will become our shining selves and discover how to radiate our light into this world. June/Solstice
10. MAKING PEACE WITH ENDINGS – The Death Card
This is one of the more troubling cards in the tarot deck, hardly anyone likes to see it in a spread. Yet, it is an important card, one that deserves attention. Some-times we need to be reminded that something has finished or needs to end. Often we hopelessly cling to things that no longer serve us. The Death card is here to help us with this transition. In this workshop we will discover how to make peace with endings and in the process we will experience transformation. October/Samhain
This tarot visual journaling exercise is a deep and soulful way to connect with our ancestors. Using tarot and the creative process you will have an opportunity to experience the essence of your beloved dead and respond to them. November/Day of the Dead
12. WHEEL OF THE YEAR
Using the eight spokes of the Equinoxes, Solstices and Cross Quarter Days we make a blueprint for the year. Each spoke has a window that opens to reveal the card for the six week period of time with a question to ponder. December/Solstice
