ADVANCED TAROT
Eight three hour classes or four days. Suitable
for those with some confidence and familiarity with a Tarot deck.
* Develop and deepen your relationship with
your chosen Tarot deck throughout the course, until you understand
the relationships of the cards to each other, the part each one plays
in the overall story of your deck and the depths, biases and focus
of your deck. Learn to relate to other Tarot decks, both in reference
to your own and also on their own merits. Experiment with reading
from different decks and combinations of decks.
* Develop techniques of accessing and communicating
from your intuitive self, using the cards as inspiration.
Practice deepening your trust and understanding of this part of yourself,
with continual feedback as you develop. Learn techniques to overcome
hesitations and blocks around intuition and become familiar and comfortable
with your own style of receiving and communicating intuitively.
* Broaden your Tarot reading skills through
specific instruction and techniques. Learn and practise different
spreads and learn how to devise your own spread, for a specific purpose.
Move more deeply into understanding the Tarot as a series of suit
and number patterns and the significance of Major cards, both in their
content and placement. Learn a variety of approaches to reading any
given layout.
*Further your understanding of the Tarot;
both as a philosophy and in the particular embodiment of your own
deck, using research, cross-referencing with other decks and meditation/contemplation
of the cards as well as observing the meanings and interplay of various
cards as they appear and reappear in different readings. Work specifically
with cards or suits that you feel weakest in understanding, learning
to see their place within the whole. Experiment with referencing Tarot
to other divinatory, cultural and artistic arrangements.
* Be challenged and supported to develop
your individual style of reading, whether that be predictive,
contemplative, oriented to problem solving or primarily for creative
and inspirational purposes. Work individually, in pairs and a larger
group to play and experiment with your abilities in understanding
and reading the cards. Receive assistance and constructive help for
specific areas of difficulty.
