"The body is the river of life. The psyche, like the body, is a living flow of energy, like the ebb and flow of the tide, the rise and fall of the breath." — Marion Woodman
​
We meet for 4 x 90-minute sessions and one 60-minute integration session to explore the Wands, Cups, Swords, Pentacles, and how they relate to the wisdom of Fire, Water, Air, and Earth.
This course is for anyone interested in understanding themselves and the world more deeply – using the ancient structure of the tarot as a map.

What is an archetype - An archetype is a pattern that lives beneath the surface of things — a shape or essence that we recognise not just with the mind but with the body, the soul. They show up in myths, in dreams, in tarot cards, and in our everyday lives, offering mirrors for the stories we carry. Archetypes aren’t fixed — they move, evolve, speak in symbols. They help us remember who we are beyond personality.
-
What is an initiation - An initiation is a threshold moment — a crossing. Often it looks like a challenge or a letting go, but underneath, it’s a becoming. You step into the unknown, something old falls away, and something deeper wakes up. True initiation can’t be faked or forced. It arrives in cycles, in subtle moments, in big life shifts — and when we meet it with awareness, it changes everything. The invitations of the tarot bring about these threshold moments, for example when we call upon the spirit of air she comes and helps us see where we are being called to move forward in her energy.
-
What are the Minor Secrets - The Minor Secrets (or Minor Arcana) are the elemental stories of the tarot. They hold the movements of emotion, thought, action and material life — the four elements dancing through us. These are the small turning points that shape big transformation. Cups, Swords, Wands and Pentacles — each one a doorway into nature + the deep magic we can access in the everyday. These secrets aren’t really hidden — they just ask us to pay attention, and paying attention is a skill we can learn.
