An Introduction to the Tarot: Guidance and Wisdom for Our Spriritual Journey
A Workshop with Robert M. Place

Sunday | March 21
1 pm - 5 pm
$70 | $60 CAFAM Members
Robert M Place

 

Don't miss this rare opportunity to learn more about the deeper meaning of the Tarot with world renowned scholar and curator, Robert M. Place, and get answers to your questions. Much more than a deck of cards, the Tarot can be thought of as an allegory of life. When the philosophy and structure of the Tarot is understood, the cards can be used as a tool of divination and personal guidance. The workshop will begin with a tour of The Fool's Journey and a short lecture. Then participants will learn and practice reading themselves based on a three-card layout.

*Students will need to bring a Tarot deck created by Robert M. Place, the Waite-Smith Tarot, or one based on the Waite-Smith Tarot. It is also recommended to buy The Tarot: History, Symbolism, and Divination by Robert M. Place.

Only a few spaces remain for the workshop. To sign up, please call (323) 937-4230 x21 or email: workshops@cafam.org.
