Classes and Workshops

This year, you – yes, YOU! – can
Learn to Read the Tarot!

It takes only a few hours to build the foundation for a lifetime of enjoyment and guidance!

The centuries-old wisdom of the Tarot is a fantastic, time-honored, amazingly accurate system for understanding the influences that affect our lives. And it is surprisingly easy to learn, especially in these fun, hands-on classes, with the guidance of Beth Owl’s Daughter, a lifelong practitioner of the Tarot.

There’s nothing like hands-on, personal guidance!

If you have been wanting to learn how to access your intuition using the beautiful, mysterious Tarot cards, this is the class for you! Whether you would like an introductory overview, or you’re trying to break away from relying on the books, or perhaps you’d like a hands-on refresher to reawaken an old interest, you can be confident you are developing superior skills that will bring you years of enjoyment.

In this workshop, you’ll learn:

• the real truth about the origins of the Tarot
• what Tarot is (and is not!)
• how to choose and care for your deck
• techniques for tapping into your intuition
• and the basic structure of the Tarot: Suits, Court cards, and the Major and Minor Arcana

Classes will be at Dancing Moon Books, 1840 Wake Forest Road, Raleigh.

This class is not a prerequisite for my 2nd class, which will be March 31. But it is recommended if you are just getting started with the Tarot.

The Wisdom Journey:
Developing Your Tarot Skills

Saturday, March 31, 2012
Dancing Moon Books, 1840 Wake Forest Road, Raleigh
(919) 833-8081
11am – 6:30pm $80 *

If you’re ready to learn how to really read the Tarot, this is the class for you! In this all-day Tarot intensive, you’ll move beyond the basics, working with the Tarot as a tool for accessing your deep wisdom. No prior experience is required, however, we will only briefly review fundamental basics (ex: what is the Tarot, definition of suits, understanding the concepts behind the Major and Minor Arcana, etc.).

By class’s end, you’ll be able to confidently discern vital information directly from the cards, without being dependent on the books and without lots of memorization. Specifically, you’ll be

• Seeing how to combine individual cards together to make a reading.
• Learning Your Tarot Soul and Personality Profile.
• Experiencing the Major Arcana cards in your own energy field.
• Developing your intuitive skills.
• Learning your Tarot reading style.
• Discovering how interpretation of a card is affected by the placement of the other cards nearby.
• Developing clear questions and simple, powerful spreads.
• Giving and receiving lots of fun, illuminating practice readings in pairs and teams, all under the expert guidance of an experienced professional reader and teacher.

Don’t miss this opportunity. This is probably the only time I will be offering these classes in 2012.

And these are the only classes of this caliber in our area, taught by a life-long, master-level, professional Tarot practitioner.
Make your reservation by calling Dancing Moon Books (open Tuesdays – Sundays) at (919) 833-8081.

Either or both of these two classes will meet the requirement for my advanced practitioner class, “Reading For Others,” which will be offered  April 14…

Reading for Others:
Intermediate Tarot Practice

Saturday, April 14, 2012
Dancing Moon Books and Gifts, Raleigh
1pm – 6pm     $65

Prerequisite: Planting the Seed and/or The Wisdom Journey.

As soon as your friends discover that you can read the Tarot, they will begin asking for readings. But as you already know, Tarot is not a toy, and its power can be startling.

This workshop focuses on the wise practice of Tarot with friends and family, as well as what to consider if you are thinking about making the transition to reading for paying clients. We’ll be doing lots of hands-on practice, discussing ways to responsibly conduct readings for friends and/or family, plus you’ll be given lots of time and flexibility to address the experiences you have had with the cards since you attended the prior classes.

This class includes:

• First do no harm: the ethical, compassionate use of the Tarot.
• Developing intentional, meaningful questions.
• Advanced work with the Major Arcana.
• Discussion of sacred space.
• Group readings — Lots of practice in teams and in pairs.
• Designing effective layouts and spreads.
• How to cultivate and use your psychic abilities wisely.
• Things to consider if you’re thinking of charging for your readings or building a professional practice.

I only offer this third part of my Tarot series every year or two, so don’t miss out!

If you’ve ever taken either (or both) of my prior classes and are hungry for lots more hands-on practice, you’ll love this workshop! Got questions? Email me!

All three classes are at Dancing Moon Books, 1840 Wake Forest Road, Raleigh.
