Tarot Reading & Mindfulness

Have you ever tried (or thought) to start reading tarot cards? Perfect for quiet, mindful self reflection. You read the little white guidebook, clear the table, light some incense, try to formulate a question, close your eyes… and immediately you feel overwhelmed. All those layers of symbolism, meanings you think you should have memorised, the spreads, the suits. And that is before you even turn over a single card. So much for being mindful…

Mindfulness invites you to slow down, to arrive in the present moment without striving for the right answer or a particular outcome. That quality of attention is exactly what tarot reading asks for. When the mind settles, intuition becomes clearer. You start to see more. In that state, the cards speak more directly, simply, and honestly.

The tarot does come with an imposing amount of mysticism, history, traditions, and meanings. But what a tarot deck really is, is a book of images. And all you need to do to understand its stories is learn how to relate to what you see. By releasing preconceived meanings and slowing down your looking, each card reveals what is alive for you in that moment. This is how the cards become a tool for clarity and peace of mind.

This no-nonsense reading method is called open reading, and anyone can do it, whether you are familiar with the tarot or not.

In this workshop we will explore self reflection through simple tarot reading exercises, in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. We will do individual and shared readings, with clear instruction and gentle guidance from an experienced fortuneteller.

To support this open and intuitive way of reading, we will begin with a mindfulness meditation, helping you to slow down, let go of expectations, and tune into your inner listening. To integrate the insights and messages from the cards, we will end with a deep lying-down meditation accompanied by singing bowls.

You will go home with a practical and grounded approach to tarot reading, one that you can trust and make your own. And, very likely, with a few honest and useful insights offered by the cards.
