Practical Tarot for Absolute Beginners
Tuesday 25th November
14:30 - 17:45 o'clock
Create a solid foundation for your tarot practice with this in-depth workshop.
This workshop is for you if:
You've always wanted to learn tarot but don't know where to start
You already own a deck (or a few!) but you've given up getting to know the cards
You've heard that you have to be given your first tarot deck and you're hoping someone will hand you one so you can start learning
You want to support your intuition with information, research, and practical tips
This is an intensive three-hour workshop taught by a professional tarot reader. You'll learn the language of tarot as laid down by Pamela Colman Smith in the traditional Rider Waite Smith deck, which the majority of modern decks are based upon. These essential basics are the foundation for your personal practice to develop.
Once that’s covered, we'll look at some simple spreads and how they modify the meanings of the cards. By the end of this workshop, you should have gained a basic understanding of tarot reading and feel confident in your ability to practice it for yourself and with others.
This workshop is limited to four people as it delivers a lot of information in just three hours. The cost is 125 euro per person.
This includes:
- A mini RWS tarot deck for you to keep
- A workbook with keywords and spreads created for this workshop
- Tea and snacks (there will be a comfort break halfway through)
- Follow-up consultation with the teacher
125 euro per person
