Overview

This isn't just a course – it’s a space to reconnect with your intuition, learn the language of tarot, and build soulful community with like-minded humans. Across 4 spring evenings, you’ll learn the basics of tarot, meet the cards like characters in a story, and begin to read intuitively, all while sipping tea, sharing laughter, and blossoming into your own inner mystic.

What You’ll Walk Away With

• Confidence reading tarot for yourself (and friends)
• A grounded understanding of the cards, suits, and spreads
• A fresh connection to your intuition and inner guidance
• A journal of personal insights and spreads
• New friendships with fellow seekers

Use of ritual teas and herbs

For generations, plants have been trusted allies to seers and wise women – not only for their healing properties, but for the way they invite ritual, presence, and reverence. In this series, we’ll work with a different herbal tea each week to ground the body, open the heart, and quiet the noise of everyday life. Just as tarot helps us access intuition through symbol and story, herbs help us soften, settle, and listen more deeply. All herbs used are gentle, legal, and non-psychoactive – you won’t get high, just more connected.
