This is a 4 class intensive for a maximum of FOUR students. If you have a basic knowledge of Tarot but want to develop your practical reading skills, then this class is for you.

Designed for the ‘advanced’ beginner, you will have a a general idea of the broader meaning of each card, but lack the know-how or confidence to put together a complete reading.

An in-depth knowledge of the cards isn’t required as I will be also teaching you intuitive reading techniques which require NO knowledge of the cards but you do need to have some degree of familiarity.

We will meet one night per week during which I will guide you through the process of doing an actual reading with a Client so you will learn:

- how to structure a reading
- how to take and keep control of the reading
- how to put your Client, and yourself, at ease
- how to help your Client focus on their specific questions and issues
- what to do when you get confused or uncertain
- how to tap into your intuition
- and much more.

Classes will be held at Newtown, Sydney 6.30-9pm on Wednesday 18 Jan, 25 Jan, 1 Feb and 8 Feb.

There are two ways to participate

1. Sign up for the BootCamp as a student at a cost of $80 (covers 10 hours tuition and any materials)

2. Sign up to be a Client at a cost of $20. You will need to allow about an hour and a half for your reading.  If you’re a member of the official Meetup.com group Tarotcraft - Tarot Meetup (Sydney area) there is no charge to be a client.

If interested in being a reader or client, please send an email to tarot_info@yahoo.com.au with Tarot BootCamp in the subject line and let me know your preference.

Bookings will be confirmed on receipt of payment, which is to be paid in full two weeks prior to start of first class. Due to limited numbers, fees are transferable but not refundable.

This is not a first in, first served basis. I will be selecting students who have a similar level of experience to work together. If I don’t select you for this class, you’ll be first on the waiting list for the next one.I plan to run these regularly through 2012 if there is enough demand.

You can also join us on our Facebook page to receive regular updates and reminders re classes,

Those of us who work in this field find ourselves challenged, rewarded and deeply satisfied.  The flipside is that we often suffer from overwhelm at best and burnout at worst.  It’s important that we spend time reflecting on our feelings, thoughts, behaviour and our general approach to our clients. 

What does the work require from us and what do we bring to it? 

The well must be full before others can drink from it.  It serves no one to let ourselves get ‘empty’ to the point where we are superficial and can only give ‘canned’ answers at best.  It is very helpful to consult with those who do similar work. During these sessions there will be opportunities to explore the difficult and celebratory moments that arise in client sessions, relationship issues with clients and themes that are problematic such as boundary issues, self-value and ‘getting stuck’, as well as the practicalities of building and marketing a business.

With 15 years experience as a spiritual practitioner and a Graduate Diploma of Counselling,  I offer mentoring sessions to help spiritual and wholistic practitioners take care of themselves while improving the value of the service they provide to their own clients.   Please call me on 0425 206 489 to discuss how this could help you and your business.

I was hoping you could give me a Tarot Reading. I feel as though my whole Life has fallen apart and everything I have planned has turned upside down.  I recently broke up with My Fiance, the man who I thought I would spend the rest of my life with and made future plans together, and they are are now shattered and I am left feeling lost.  I am not happy in my current work situation and have finished a Diploma but can’t get any work in the industry.  Do you see anything in store for me? Samantha

Hi Samantha,

It does sound like you are going through a rough time in your life at that moment.  With regard to your Fiance, if he was the one for you, nothing would have stopped it from happening. Your Higher Self knew it wasn’t the right situation for you and that there was someone out there better for you.  The cards coming up for you are the 7 of Pentacles and The Empress - relating to worries around your security and future children in regard to relationships.  I can assure you that the right man is on the way and I see him as a taller man with dark hair and I see two children with you both, a boy and a girl.

The King of Swords and The Sun come up in relation to your career question and it is clear that you WILL find fulfilling work in your desired area.  It may take a few more months but I feel you will have this issue settled by the end of the year.  The King of Swords can also relate to teaching, education and training so perhaps your career will be in a related field or you will do some further study yourself.  I am sensing that you have some talent in this area.

I pulled one further card for you and we got The High Priestess.  You have come into this life with a very specific spiritual purpose. Anything that does not pan out means it was not for your highest good and would take you away from your purpose. Helping others is a strong part of your purpose, as well as becoming stronger within ourself. The High Priestess is also a teacher so I wonder if this is a further hint for you in this area.

Bright blessings to you!

Allison.

Tarot enthusiasts getting together to practice, discuss and learn. Based in Sydney’s inner west.

Find us on Facebook: Tarot Meetup (Sydney Area)

Join us for monthly meetups, study groups and workshops. This is a social gathering for informal discussion, sharing ideas and comparing decks. Those new to Tarot won’t learn to read the cards by coming along, but they will be able to observe others doing readings for each other and pick up some pointers. We’d love to meet you and introduce you to Tarot so please don’t be shy!

Next meetup: Sunday October 18, 2-4pm.

Topic: The ‘Death’ card. Do you tell people if you see bad news in their cards? Do you want to know if someone sees bad news in yours?

Fairtrade Cafe, 33 Glebe Point Road, Glebe, NSW (near Sydney University and Broadway Shopping Centre)

Develop a deeper understanding of the symbolism, how to interpret it and how to understand the elements/suits within yourself.  If you have a deck, bring it along.

Was wandering if there would be another chapter in life between me And a male named victor?

Hi Marina,

The Fool and the Ace of Wands indicate that there is certainly potential for this relationship but the appearance of the 5 of Wands indicates that it may be difficult to get off the ground and move forward.  There’s plenty of physical attraction but I don’t know if that will be enough to propel it to an emotional connection.  Good luck!

I am wanting to know some info about where my life is heading and this guy james (ex lover) i kind of regret ending it very conected to him but he became distant and it was to hard he lives interstate.  I’m wanting to know if I will ever see him again?

Hi Kirsten,

Thanks for the questions!  In relation to your life direction, the cards I drew are the 9 of Wands, Ace of Swords and The Fool.  The 9 of Wands suggests you have a great deal of energy that you need to put into something so you are probably feeling very hampered and hemmed in by your current circumstances.  The Ace of Swords relates to beginning something new that relates to the mind, so I suggest beginning a new course of study (I’m especially picking up something relating to health or medicine) and finally The Fool shows us that you are ready to embark on a new journey in your life, even though it may be a little risky or the outcome uncertain.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained.  Make a decision, stick with it and the world will by your oyster.

Regarding James, I don’t see the connection between the two of you disappearing, but there is someone else coming into your life as a potential life partner and this man will be very reliable and dependable.  I think you will meet him through work or study but not until Spring 2010.

I was wondering if you could give me a free reading. What do you see in the future in my career and love life? I am hoping for changes in both areas - Marcelle.

1. Career - You seem to be bored and unhappy in your work, feeling as though you are going nowhere.  Your efforts seem to be wasted and you aren’t seeing real outcomes.  A job offer is possible around March which will take you in a direction that will ultimately be more fulfilling .  The first job may not seem like it, but it will lead to another one that will be more to your liking.  The action you need to take is to connect or network with people you know - the job offer is most likely to come through someone you know. You seem reluctant to do this but do your best.  Also, your Guides are telling me that you really need to get a number of projects or uncompleted tasks finished up in order to free up your energy at work and also that you have the opportunity to off load or delegate some of your responsibilities, but you feel it’s not worth the trouble.

2.  Your love life - there is a dark haired man coming back into your life in February.  THis is someone you had a chance with in the past but due to ‘youth and inexperience’ and a good dose of paranoia, it never went anywhere.  I don’t think this will be a long lasting relationship but I think it will leave you feeling better about relationships more confident about the future.  Presently you seem to be looking for comfort and love where there is none to be had.
