TAROT ETHICS: A Framework for Fluid Beliefs and Boundaries (with Monica Bodirsky)

This philosophical discussion will navigate through sensitive and sometimes controversial areas by examining different tarot methodologies. How do these varying components produce a successful reading experience? This talk will offer a better understanding of how divergent interpretations and values of individuals can come together to form an empowered community of both tarot readers and clients. Topics will include free will vs. destiny, intuitive versus ‘standard’ readings, reversals, spreads, questions concerning those not present at readings, and, drafting or adopting a client bill of rights or code of ethics.


BRIDGING THE GAP (with Bev Haskins)
We like think of ourselves as mindful, aware and compassionate people. One of Christina Baldwin's "Seven Whispers" (from her book of the same title) for a spiritual. life is "love the folks in front of you." And we do; until we don't think we can because the one in front of us is being/doing something that we are having difficulty with. How can the Tarot help us to return to an understanding and compassionate response to that person? And how can it help us be mindful of our highest and best aspirations on a daily basis? This session explores these questions through two different Tarot activities.

HIDDEN KNOWLEDGE: Working with the Unseen to Bring the Light to Your Readings (with Andrew McGregor)
Some older spreads place cards that are never turned! Why? What is their importance? We’ll work with cards that are only for the reader or the client. These hidden cards provide ways to deepen the reading process, help those learning how to read and build a better connection with your intuition.

BE PRESENTED AT COURT: or Tarot Court Cards Request Your Company (with Marilyn Shannon)
The tarot court cards are often the most difficult cards in a reading. Come and meet them personally as you are presented at court. Discover their foibles and stengths as they manifest in yourself, the querent and others not even in the room. Create your own Tarot Court Card and experience the unique feeling when others read it for you.

WIDENING THE CIRCLE: Tarot Beyond Ourselves (with James Wells)
What questions beat in the heart of a wolf? What's on the mind of the Milky Way? What implications for us might questions like these carry? Our personal well-being and the well-being of all that exists are delicately woven together. By using the tarot to engage in dialogue with this interbeing, we can gain insights that contribute to a life-affirming presence on our planet.
