Spring! Getting out and about: classes and events

Hello! It is good to be sharing with you here. The picture above is an old favourite from my childhood. They are called Dutchman's Breeches and grow on the hill behind the Purple Door Books and Gifts on Old River Road just off the 1000 Island Parkway.

I will be teaching and reading at the Purple Door in April and May. Here are the details. Call Linda Scallion at the Purple Door to register or book your reading at 613-923-5320

 The Court Cards of Tarot with Marilyn Shannon April 14, 12 to 4 pm. Your investment $30

Personality Archetypes in the Tarot: Sounds a bit scary doesn’t it? It doesn’t have to be. The People cards or Court Cards of the Tarot introduce us to personality types. Once we understand each of these 16 cards as a personality at different stages of life they open up our understanding of people and the Tarot. I used to dread seeing Court Cards in a reading. Now they tell me all sorts of things. Join us and you will hear the message of the Courts as never before. No experience needed. Bring a Tarot deck and note book and pen.

Marilyn Shannon has been studying Tarot cards since she was 12. Now a few years later she loves to teach and share what Tarot can bring to our lives. She is the owner at Kingstonpsychic.com. You may have seen her show ‘Psychic Roundtable’ on Your TV Cogeco Kingston and Napanee.

Saturday May 12, 2018 10 to 4 pm. It must be Spring! Marilyn Shannon returns to the Purple Door Books and Gifts to read with her Tarot, Lenormand and Crystals for you. Spirit often whispers important messages into Marilyn’s right ear. Come and see what messages are waiting for you. Its Mother’s Day weekend. Treat yourself to a reading and shopping. Readings are $60 for a half hour; 45 minutes is $75 and an hour is $90. Marilyn looks forward to reading for you soon.

One slight change to note: We are taking an introductory Astrology course for six weeks on Tuesdays at the Purple Door. Please note that the Psychic Roundtable at Marilyn's will be held on Monday April 9 and Monday May 7 instead of our usual Tuesday evening get together. Call me for details at 613-549-2438

Where to find me?

Friday April 20th at the Portuguese Cultural Club at 959 Division St for their Third Annual Fundraiser for Girls Night Out. This event is usually sold out. Call Karen of Wooden It Be Charming at 613-583-1090 for more information. I will be doing mini-readings for $20.

2018 The Year of the Party!

Yes I do readings at parties. This year sure seems to be the year to party. Contact me about reading at your party, event, bachelorlorette or tea party. 

Why do I do readings? Because a reading often helps people find out where they are stuck and offers options on how to move forward in a healthy sensible loving way.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Marilyn

Miss Fearless Technology

Miss Fearless Technology has learned:
In early 2009 I had the great pleasure of finding out about business coaching and what a little (or a lot) of encouragement could do for my business. I was at the point of going home or stepping up a notch. For the last two years I have worked with Elizabeth Genco Purvis of The Marketing Goddess. She seemed to think that a newsletter would be good for keeping in touch with you. She seemed to think that spending an hour hand selecting names from my email address book was tedious at best. She introduced me to things like audioacrobat...record your meditations and post them she says. Use Aweber to automatically send very jazzy newsletters she said. But creating this newsletter required a site to host the photos, a camera to take them, and an understanding of how to make it all work together. I signed up but it took three months before I got brave enough to use any of these fancy tools. That was last year. Miss Fearless Technology rose to the occassion once again and helped me create a newsletter every week for almost a year! Sunday afternoons saw her getting on her SuperTechnoWoman ensemble and making it all work...or phoning and asking for help because she would not let me accept defeat!! It was not an option. Amazing what straightening up your shoulders and spine does for your confidence!!!!
This summer, Miss Fearless had her work cut out for her though. Answering the phone and creating this newsletter were no longer enough. Oh no! Elizabeth is encouraging Coach Marilyn to try out teleseminars! Coach Marilyn might like an electonic time scheduler...and throw in some paypal buttons too!!! Elizabeth could see what I could not. That being Fearless is required if we want to change. If we want to grow spiritually in our craft and life we have to find a way to rise above the things that scare the living daylights out of us. One day this past June, I sat at the dining room table with my head in my hands telling myself that I didn't need to do any of this. I could just walk away and forget all these new things and that it really didn't matter. Then Miss Fearless kicked my butt. I have walked away from many things in my life for no other reason than fear. And while sometimes its wise to retreat, more often than not it is just an excuse. Summoning up all my energy to move forward with each challenge has been both exhausting and exhilirating. Knowing that somewhere deep inside me I have the courage to do what feels like the next best thing for me has brought me rewards beyond my wildest dreams. Reaching out to you,and having you reach back is one of the sweetest blessings of being Miss Fearless Technology.
Miss Fearless has somehow found a side kick in Coach Marilyn...and as such I will very very soon be offering a three month program using every bit of technology that I have learned so far!!! But it is you, reaching out to me that has given me the desire to create this exciting opportunity to create a community for women. (Men, if you are interested let me know and we will create one for you too) Coach Marilyn will soon be introducing "Sink, Swim, Soar the Solo Woman's Flight Book to Loving Your Life Now". Who knew what Miss Fearless was creating for us!

What do you need help with these days? What fear would you like to overcome? As always, it is my pleasure and desire to help you Find Peace for Your Soul today.
Love the Future, (No more Fear),
Marilyn

Tarot Symposium Toronto March 20

Marilyn will be teaching at this symposium March 20 in Toronto. Please join me for a fun and interesting day of learning.

Please come to a one-day
TAROT SYMPOSIUM

30 Gloucester Street, events room (behind building), Toronto, ON

Saturday, March 20
10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Five cutting-edge tarot workshops with five of Southern Ontario's best teachers and practitioners of tarot. Also a panel Q & A time about tarot and prizes to be won! If you love tarot and want to stretch your skills, this day of tarot immersion is for YOU. Keep reading.

Topics Include:

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.
