A friend and I have been running workshops together for a few years – she is a shamanic practitioner and teacher who facilitates workshops on storytelling, journeying, and the Tarot. I’m a professional tarot reader and visionary artist, and use my own decks in readings (The Intuitive Tarot and the Devas of Creation). We began these workshops two or three years ago with a slightly challenging title – the Tarot and Transformation. One of  the exercises in the workshop was a movement sculpture, which proved to be phenomenal for all concerned.

We have now taken this idea one stage further, in recent workshops on The Major Arcana (in Harrow, London). After a guided visualisation on the Majors – designed to demonstrate how the Majors depict a profound journey of initialisation and self-development – and an audio-visual presentation on the history of the Tarot,  we suggested that  participants each embodied the qualities of one of the Major Arcana. Having taken on this powerful archetypal energy, others then joined in to illustrate other aspects of that image to which they felt drawn. It was a powerful exercise.

We also held a day’s workshop on the Minor Arcana, and will be running more of both in the New Year. We always look for creative ways to present the cards, and new ways in which to work with them, so if you would like to join us, let me know (http://www.theintuitivetarot.com/Intuitive_tarot_courses.htm, where you can find the flier and phone numbers).
