Foundations of Tarot - Part 1
Foundations of Tarot - Release the Suspicion, Doubt & Fear
Cost: $65 per workshop
Move from fear to friendship in this first of four workshop classes built for you to feel more comfortable and take your Tarot knowledge to the next level.
Tarot reaches you to trust yourself. It's no more complex or scary than that: it provides your inner wisdom and a voice. The cards tell you a loving story through images of what you already know, deep in your heart. What to develop, what to love more, what to nourish, what to pay more attention to. The cards allow you to look at that old story, release the pain, and allow the new story in. Trust yourself, because you are whole and perfect as you are right now. You are the medicine and the magic.
Join Azahar and Tara as they take you through the foundations of the cards to become more familiar, comfortable, and stronger in reading the cards. This practice strengthens and complements any existing meditation, yoga asana, journaling, or listening/sharing exercises you're already doing.

The Fools Journey - Part 3
Cost: $65 per workshop
Our dreams at night speak a different language than our waking state. It’s the same with our intuition. We tend to cover and quiet our instincts away until we become unfamiliar with their language. How do you begin speaking and hearing those messages again? Most ways involve quieting the mind. Meditation, long walks, or journaling. But divination tools are a wonderful way to re-learn your inner language. Tarot, a divination tool, is another way you can listen to your guiding voice.
Because it’s you speaking through the cards. Translating inner voice to outer.
They will show you the way if you allow them to. Get quiet and adorn them with affection. An act of self-nourishment. Like anyone in your life, it blossoms when you give it time, space, and a platform to speak. Allow yourself to speak and feed your desire with the nourishing honey of advice you deep down know to be true. You are the medicine and the magic.

Elevate Your Reading for Yourself and Others - Part 4
Cost: $65 per workshop
Even if you know nothing about the cards, they can still speak to you. If you allow them to. If you make space to listen. Because we tend to care for others better than we care for ourselves. The cards remind you that you are worthy, too. When you forget to nourish, set boundaries, love, and protect yourself, the cards let you know.
Just like a good friend, they can give you tough love. Call you out. Read you to filth. They can also gas you up. Remind you of your power. Tell you how life will look if you allow it.
Will you allow it? Sometimes we make ourselves fail by pretend trying, and then act like it’s proof the inability, mistakes, and failure are true. The cards remind you that this is not true. You deserve your own kindness. You deserve to put in your all. You deserve to flourish and expand in ways you never dreamed possible.
