About the event

Presented by: Rebecca Bloom, ATR-BC, LMHC (she/her)

Why is Tarot so popular right now? Are your clients coming in talking  about the card they pulled before the session, and you have no idea what that means? Have you used tarot for years for your own well-being  and would love to use it with mental health clients, but I’m not sure how?

Most clients come into therapy saying that they do not have access to  their intuition and are unsure how to trust the right choices they make  in their lives. Using a single card pulled from a tarot deck and  exploring the client’s meaning of the card, clients can begin to feel connected to their own sense of self; clients can find new ways to  safely explore difficult experiences and find ways to test out feeling grounded again.

Starting with the Jungian concepts of Archetypes, we will examine how  the collective sense of self represents these twelve being types.  Then, we will explore the history and uses of tarot. These seventy-eight cards have been used for hundreds of years. Using the Rider-Waite-Smith deck from 1909 as a starting place, we will look at many of the decks  available today and why people turn to them every day or when times get difficult.

We will explore intuition and how to trust our own sense of knowing.  In this hands-on workshop, you will make five of your own cards.  Exploring the major arcana and the suits of cups, pentacles, swords, and  wands, we will learn the journeys of each of these sets.

Workshop objectives:

  • Learn the archetypes of Jung and Tarot.
  • Learn why the creative process soothes the body and the mind.
  • Find materials you will be comfortable using with your clients.
  • Use art-making for your own self-care.
