TAROT is an ancient system of divination using a set of 78 cards.
Although, many view the tarot just for fortune telling, it’s rich
archetypical images serve as a symbolic map of consciousness, and a tool
for inner guidance and growth. Understanding the symbolic system that
underlies the tarot, by connecting it with several systems for
organizing experience, such as Visual Art, Polarity Therapy, Tantra,
Shamanism and Ayurveda, can turn the cards into a powerful tool for
healing and clarity. In this interactive workshop, we will look closely
at the imagery of the Tarot, how they relate to images found in art
history and the elemental energies.
