Free Reading for August
I am excited to share that I was welcomed to teach a course on Tarot through the Cinematic Hero’s Journey at the Northwest Tarot Symposium coming up in the first weekend of September.
If you’re able to get to Portland, I hope you’ll consider joining. There is a free vendors area in the Monarch Hotel that weekend that is also open to the public.
I love this topic I am teaching because it combines many of my passions: Movies and Tarot and Storytelling.
We each are living our own unique story, and one of my favorite things about my work is getting to hear all the individual journeys that querents are navigating.
Train Your Brain for the Long Game
I am proud to share that this month, I accomplished a goal of a tarot lesson that combines movie archetypes and tarot.
It took me over 30 hours to create in many sessions where I had to choose to sit down and write, then edit, then prep tech tools and lights, then film, find clips, then edit, then edit, then edit some more.
When we stay vigilant on a long-term, self-motivated goal, it can be very disconcerting and even physically uncomfortable at first.
Over time, our brain gets the “real dopamine” of meaningful accomplishments, and final completion gives us a deeply satisfying continual flow.
Movies as a Tool for Transformation
Cinema is my first true love.
I was that kid in class who always had a movie reference for any topic.
I even procured a film degree and worked in the industry in NYC for three years. I found it was not so easy to find a creative role, which tarot offers me in, well, spades (and cups and wands and pentacles).
Both tarot and movies shine a light on collective unconscious archetypes in similar ways, and we can use both as a tool for self-awareness and growth.
