Hi Everyone,
As usual, meeting last time was fun and it was great to hear the stories that grew from the cards.
As I mentioned in the meet, I am open to your suggestions for practice sessions.
Are there some topics that people would like to build practice sessions around? These are your sessions at the end of the day, so I really want to tailor them to what people want and need.
Hope you are having a great month and look forward to hearing from you!
Steve
Hey Steve and Will, thanks for the great “session”! I found it very uplifting and I love the novel insights I come away with each time.
I’m not sure if it could prove too personal a topic, but one thing I would love to explore with a group is the ways in which Tarot inform and inspire our spirituality. I have often thought “Tarot is my religion!”, but I would like to find ways to articulate what that means, and see if others would say that the cards are a defining element of their spirituality or metaphysical understandings, and in what way.
