2010 Schedule updated February 8, 2010
Tarot Shadow Work 5-Week Intensive
Mondays, 7 to 9 pm. Starting Spring, 2010
Cost: $75 - $100 for the series (sliding scale). We meet at a private metro Denver location.
This in-depth workshop explores some of the most challenge aspects of the Self via Christine Jette’s excellent book Tarot Shadow Work.
Maybe you already have this book but would prefer having a formal framework — schedule, like-minded “support group”, facilitator — within which to explore the exercises, which focus on looking at one’s own issues around denial, anxiety, inferiority, anger, secrecy and self-loathing. Yikes!
This is intensely personal work, and we create a solid “structure” within which to do it: We establish safe and sacred space, use guided visualizations and clearly set intentions, and then all do our own work using the book’s exercises. Prior familiarity with the Tarot is very useful but not required.
According to one past participant: “This was more useful than 3 years of therapy!”
Worksheets, including the “Stars” from the book, are used with the author’s gracious permission — thank you, Christine Jette!
Required supplies:
Your Tarot deck of choice, one you’re familiar with and which sparks your imagination

— special ways to tap your intuition and memory to personalize the cards' meanings
— how to read the symbolism in the Tarot's art
— tips on effectively and ethically reading for others
— how to design and personalize your readings
— and more. We cover a lot of ground!
This is a 6-session course, with take-home assignments between meetings. Copious written materials and audio tapes/CDs of Tarot meditations are included.
As a guarantee on this class: If you’ve paid for the full series, you’re welcome to repeat the course whenever it’s offering at no additional charge (space allowing): To make up a missed class, review and revisit the material, or just get back in a room full of tarot-people.
Cost: $100 if prepaid in full, or $20 per session
