three of pentacles school of applied tarot studies
A 10 MONTH TAROT COURSE FOR THE CHARIOT YEAR + A POST PLUTO RETURN WORLD
A ten month tarot school with focuses on using theoretical and practical frameworks for developing your own perspectives on the cards to bring forth your own creative and intuitive gifts as a reader.
Each month students will get two 90 minute classes- one presentation/lecture and one discussion & study session to strengthen both their perspective on tarot from a radical, liberatory and intersectional framework, along with guest teachings from other groundbreaking tarot practitioners. They will also be paired with a small group of other students to work on the themes of the month outside of class, and support one another in developing their tarot reading practice.
Classes will be held on Thursdays at 4pm PST unless otherwise specified - attendance is highly encouraged, especially for the discussion and practicum- but recordings will be available for those who cannot attend.
1st week of the month: Collaborative Lecture & Presentation- instuctors will give a lecture on the topic of the month, with little room for questions or discussions
2nd week of the month: Discussion & Practicum - instructors will open up the group to discussion and answer questions based on presentation, and will prepare an activity for students to apply the material from first class to their tarot practice
The second two weeks the students will be assigned to groups to plan for a private meet up for the homework/practice activities
Who is this course for: Tarot Readers and enthusiasts who want to feel confident in their ability to read for others, witches who want to find community and work together to strengthen their divination practice, anyone who is interested in tarot and wants to commit to a ten month practice of learning and growing their skills
