Learning Tarot: Awakening the Magic of Your Own Inner Guidance

Enjoy a rising tide of empowerment as you end your daily guessing game about life and receive the guidance you seek when you say “Yes!” to learning the Beauty of Tarot.  

This workshop is an introductory level deep-dive into the powerful insights of tarot, how to cultivate them for yourself, and how to begin reading cards for others in your life. Initiate this ancient and fascinating daily practice into your life as the sacred land of Esalen welcomes you.  

Join renowned master teacher Brenda Rose in a playful and magical journey through the sacred stories of tarot. You’ll gain a meaningful connection with the cards and learn to give insightful readings. Information on how to read the stories of Tarot is shared and transmitted in a customized way that books or online information cannot convey. The Beauty of Tarot amplifies your spiritual transformation as you cultivate more unconditional love and intuitive guidance in your daily life.  

This is an immersive and interactive workshop. The magic of tarot comes alive as you practice giving and receiving readings with your classmates under the supportive guidance of Brenda Rose and her graduate students. We’ll learn vibrant tarot spreads together and discover how both the obvious and esoteric stories of Tarot’s stories are activated.

In this workshop, we will learn to…

• Meditate and work energy practices prior to every tarot reading
• Engage with each of the tarot cards through their stories and interpretations.
• Give readings while practicing inclusive, judgment-free, and projection-free language
• Receive readings with grace and openness while practicing inclusive, judgment-free, and projection-free language

Brenda will also provide you with instruction beyond tarot, so you can enhance your spiritual and energetic ‘hygiene’.  Repeated application of these mystic practices enables you to deliver valuable readings without being energetically drained and build your confidence and skill as a tarot reader.

 Tuition also includes Brenda’s original deck, The Beauty of Tarot, and a workbook chronicling each card. This provides continued support for when you return home and begin offering readings for your family and friends. 

 This immersion welcomes all levels of experience, from “I’ve always been curious” to “I’ve had a deck for years” to “I’ve been doing readings but want to deepen my understanding of the cards” and more.  As a result, every student will gain immense insight from this tarot class and Esalen community.
