The Old Ways Must Go: Tarot for Transformation (Online)

How dare we hope for futures we cannot yet imagine? Learn how using old tools in new ways can offer a scaffolding for moving past fear and grief, and into the possibility of new paradigms. The tarot – or the use of image-heavy cards to elicit intuitions about a hidden present or future reality – began its life as simple playing cards. These simple cards were “hacked” by the practice of divination: their historical and cultural context was completely reimagined, and they were made to perform in new and unexpected ways. Join us as we “hack” the tarot again, and find solutions and deep collaboration with shared imagery. Bring your own tarot or other art-centric deck of cards (or simply a set of meaningful images) and join with others in structured play. Discover solutions to problems through honoring what must pass, and by and weaving together ideas for what's next.

Registration includes an e-book version of The Old Ways Must Go, published by Galileo Games. No prior knowledge of tarot is required for this course. E-book will be delivered via email in the week before this program. Encourage a friend to register and have them join you in your Zoom square, or play with a fellow classmate in a breakout room!
