Welcome, Tarot 102 is for those of you who have explored Tarot in the 101 class and are looking to go deeper. If you did not take the 101 class but feel that your Tarot knowledge is sufficient to jump in email st[email protected] and on a case by case basis we will make an exception for you to join us.
There are many approaches to Tarot. I see Tarot as a tool which we can use to tap into our personal intuition and move into a space of creativity. I believe that you already have the answers you are seeking, but readings help bring these answers to the surface. My approach is collaborative and relies on my background as an educator. I utilize visual inquiry and discussion to dive deeply into messages from the Tarot.
In this class we will collectively attend to the information each student is seeking to explore. Overarching themes such as slowing down, tuning in, and paying attention will be emphasized. Additionally we will review topics discussed in 101 such as the history of Tarot, the anatomy of the deck, commonly used spreads, and different ways we can use the Tarot. We will delve a bit further into the relationship between Tarot and related practices such as symbolism, Kabbalah, and Reiki. Finally we will learn a bit more about the Minor Arcana. We will spend time reflecting on how our practices have grown since our first session together and In the second half of class we will engage in a practical experience.

Virtual Class FAQ
What will be included in my Virtual Class package?
One ticket includes an access link to your live, online class. The class will be delivered via web conferencing software and feature a live, professional instructor who will walk you through a lesson as described above. You will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as participate from home.
How many people is my purchase good for?
Each ticket is good for one "device" (i.e. one computer, phone, tablet, etc. you'll be logging in from). This ensures we don't get more people in the class than the instructor can handle. Though we understand some people live together and will be working/learning together, the intent is that each class still allows for the same attention to attendees as if students purchased separately. Please be respectful of this!
Will I need anything from home to use in the class?
You will need a reliable Internet connection as well as a computer or device with which you can access your virtual class. We recommend you arrive to class 5-10 minutes early to ensure you're able to set up your device and connection. Additionally, if the class is more than just a lecture you will likely want any materials listed in the course description as "Materials Needed to Participate Fully", though you're welcome to purchase a seat and sit in and just watch.
Am I able to ask questions or interact with the class?
Yes, you'll both be able to ask questions using the chat function in the video hosting software as well as at certain intervals during the class via voice/audio. If the class winds up being on the smaller side, more spontaneous interaction/questions will be encouraged.
Do I have to show my video or speak during class?
While we recommend you do show your video and speak when encouraged to by the instructor, video and audio participation are never mandatory. We find classes have more fun experiences when people are engaging with one another, but understand not everyone will want to do so and that's ok!
