Do you have clients who struggle to access their intuition and are unsure of the choices they make? Are your clients coming in talking about a tarot card they pulled before the session, and you have no idea what that means? Have you used tarot for years for your own personal growth and would love to use it with mental health clients, but don’t know where to begin?

Using tarot as a framework to explore intuition in therapeutic settings can help clients learn to trust their own sense of knowing. The practice of pulling a single tarot card and exploring the meaning together can help clients begin to feel connected to their own sense of self and can find new ways to safely explore difficult experiences and discover pathways for grounding themselves.

Join expressive arts therapist and tarot practitioner, Rebecca Bloom for this unique, experiential workshop exploring how to work with tarot in therapeutic settings. Rebecca shares both the history of tarot and the different ways to work with the cards. Whether you’re new to tarot, or have done it for years, Rebecca helps participants gain confidence working effectively with tarot in clinical settings.

Dive into the meaning of the 78-card set from the major arcana to the suits of cups, pentacles, swords, and wands. Explore the Jungian concept of Archetypes and how they show up in the cards. Learn about the many decks available and how to choose the right one for you and your clients.

In this hands-on workshop, Rebecca invites you to deepen your process of working with the tarot by making five of your own cards. By exploring the major arcana and the suits of cups, pentacles, swords, and wands, participants experience the learning journey of each of these suits.

Whether you are exploring for yourself or for your work with others, join us for this all-day workshop and access the tools to bring tarot into your healing container.

We recommend having a tarot deck for this workshop. Rebecca has a deck with her illustrations, Therapists Who Tarot Deck, which you can learn more about on Etsy.

Teachings are appropriate for healthcare professionals as well as the general public. Healthcare professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients.
