TAROT is my passion and an enchanting world of symbols for me to endlessly explore and reach-out through! At a deeper level, I am a spiritual facilitator and thus ‘teach’ the tarot both as a tool for practical guidance and as a storehouse of spiritual wisdom- to fit in with whatever your spiritual path may be. In this synthesis does the tarot truly work as a tool of divination- knowing thyself and thus what you are creating as a future! I first came to the cards (or the cards to me) in the summer of 2000 and since then it has been an ongoing learning! Deeply meditative input, in-depth reading, professional readings and teaching the tarot has all added to my understanding of the cards. I have also done a summer course in the united states with world famous Tarot Hierophants: Rachel Pollack (a tremendous impact on my tarot psyche and a must read for true tarot lovers) and Mary Greer in the summer of 2006, and every such input becomes one more mosaic in an endlessly beautiful larger picture of tarot!

TAROT1- IN-DEPTH BEGINNERS COURSE - JANUARY 2019
Due to my personal philosophy and way of using the cards, I take you through an in-depth understanding of each card in this course; thus even though it is a beginner’s batch it is not a quick fix very basic class, if that is what you are looking for! However at the end of the classes you come out understanding the cards deeply and are thus enabled to read the cards in enhanced ways in the longer term. This course equips you to read for self, and through practice to read for others, without needing to do another course unless the love of tarot draws you! It is usually an eclectic group of all ages, mostly beginners with a sprinkling of matured tarot students and even professional tarot readers and who have come for more insights.
In-depth exploration of the meanings, symbols and spiritual secrets contained within the cards enables you use the tarot in many ways. Discover how they can be a spiritual journey, a counseling tool to 'know thyself’, a best friend giving you upfront guidance or a compass pointing to probabilities ahead! Read them for self or others in empowering ways. We begin the class with two power point
presentations, the
first touches upon the many frequently asked questions about how and why tarot
works; the second explores the deeper spiritual meaning of tarot; this is
followed by introducing you the cards, and any questions you may have!
The next few weeks we go through
each card in detail- its symbols and meanings and how to use it for practical
or deeper readings because
my personal philosophy is that it is this foundation that helps
us read the cards better in the longer run. Rather than learn few key
words per card and get stuck when they do not 'fit' the myriad questions that
life brings to the cards. We thus understand each card as a person....and just
as you 'know' how those whom you understand deeply respond in
different situations, likewise you will 'know' how the cards fit any question
posed to them!
All of this is interspersed with
examples from case histories and personal experiences over the years.
Thus at every card we run through a
gamut of examples from day-to-day life- which not only brings the cards
alive…but also out of text book understanding into how to actually use them!
I further introduce you
on how to use the cards for magic or manifestation (how to harness the positive
energy in the signs and symbols all around you) and how birth
details can be incorporated to enhance readings or understand self or
your clients better.
All this leads up to the classes
on spreads - we cover a
range of spreads suitable for different kinds of readings- and then
to actual practice…tarot sessions… with each other! The
course prepares you to read the cards for others (and self) in
ways which empower them rather then encourage them into being
passive observers in their life events! We explore how
'prediction' is all about determining probabilities and guiding the client
(or self) on how to facilitate the positive ones and improve/ deal with
the not so good ones! But more importantly, and an aspect that is
highly emphasized through the weeks, the course helps you use the
cards as an invaluable self help tool! It helps you access your
subconscious mind and view how you are creating your life events and how
to enhance life. Tarot helps you know thyself...whether it is for an
optimal emotion quotient (enhanced day to day life) or a deeper spiritual
journey. And if you choose... it is that vital trigger
to make contact with your inner guides – guidance…intuition or psychic
skills.
While the class is formulated with
the complete beginner in mind & geared to give them a deep
foundation and love for the world of tarot we often have
a eclectic mix of beginners, more experienced tarot students
and even readers who come to explore the cards deeper and
deeper-and thus all are welcome!
Many ask for a shorter quicker course-and
while i could teach you the cards in a few days...or even hours... i would
not do true justice to the world of tarot and thus your tarot journey! So yes, while it might seem a
long duration to some, the strong foundation and deep exploration of the
cards serves you well in the long run, rather than a quickie! Do read
student feedback on this - more than 20 Tarot workshops and perhaps over 200 deeply fulfilled students!
My workshop includestwo bound and printed booklets.) One has in-depth meanings for to use! The other has detailed notes on symbols, exercises for practice and spreads- indeed on each topic we pursue- so that you can ‘listen’ in peace rather than focus on taking down notes! The hall is air conditioned and we have a small biscuit break! You need to buy the Rider Waite cards ( available in any book shop- price varies with the dollar rate- or I can buy them for you-) As sitting space only allows a certain maximum- confirmation is only on full payment at time of registration.

TAROT PLAY AND KNOW THYSELF- MAY 2019 - the paradox here is that this is lighter then the beginner’s course!
One you have grasped the essence through the beginner’s classes, and got
that firm grounding almost all other levels are only to enhance and
explore the cards further!
As the name suggests, a lovely light and refreshing playing with the
cards to know them and self better! Just like spending more time with
your friends helps you understand them better, it is by taking off the
intellectual blackboard into play that helps us truly inculcate any
wisdom! KNOW THYSELF is an aspect where we explore the cards primarily
to know self better; through this we end up understanding the cards in
very personal ways!
Tarot Symbols help us harness the positive energies around us in wondrous ways!Tarot can be many things and many people to you- a best friend
lovingly guiding you, a tough counselor enabling you, a mirror reflecting your subconscious thoughts & feelings, rich symbols to
tap into, a spiritual text fitting in with any religion, a compass pointing you
in the right direction…and yes sometimes even a crystal ball to peek into what
you are creating!
