Self Care is Community Care
Even in this individualistic Western culture, many of us were taught to put others ahead of ourselves.
At first, this switch felt selfish to me.
Then, I witnessed my loving friends drain their vivacity in over-giving.
I saw how people came to rely on them and slowed their own self-reliance.
I saw the givers become resentful and sometimes shut off the support completely.
The tarot has a lot of cards about balance, and this is an area that often is skewed for many of us.
It’s essential that you show up for others, yes. It’s also imperative that you offer what feels sustainable so there’s energy left over for your own growth.
April’s Magical Opportunities & Free Tarot Reading
Free Reading Inside!
This month has lots of fun opportunities to learn!
My friend and colleague Sasa is running a free online retreat that starts this Monday. I will be speaking at it about the truths and misunderstandings around being psychic and how we are all psychic.
On April 13th, psychic medium Anna Alexander will lead a lesson online and in-person on How to Communicate with Your Spirit Guides.
After a long hiatus, I am leading my online class in the Art of Tarot Reading on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6pm to 7:30pm PST starting on April 29th through May 15th. This will likely not be running again for a long time! Hope you can join for this round!
Unseen Community Connects Us All
I appreciate the family across the street who welcomed home a baby daughter the same week I moved in. As she grew up, I knew that was how long I had lived in my house. We’re not close, but I know we watch out for each other.
Sometimes it’s important to think about the people outside our first circle who do care about us. They may not be our best friends or our blood relatives, but they are our community.
Then there are those we form a sense of family with, even if each person is not a part of our core support.
This weekend I’m going to the coast with my costume troupe. The regular members know my ups and downs, my worst and best parts. They are my chosen family of weirdos who dress up in odd outfits together. (See photo) The new guest artists get to see me in that authentic self, even if they don’t know me yet.
Then there’s this unseen community that I have learned about through being a tarot reader.
At the start of every reading, I call in our guardians, guides, angels, and ancestors…
Free Reading for March: Power Up During Venus Retrograde
This month’s reading is intense, but ends well with the Chariot.
The good news is that you can find structure and balance in your own life with some prime choices…
Transform Stress with Mindfulness and Divination
Stress infiltrates our choices.
We might panic and rush into a decision too quickly.
Sometimes we blow up at people from a past hurt that the person standing in front of us may not have even caused.
Stress makes us hyper self-protect and shut down.
There is a lot of stress right now for many of us, and I find that learning new tools to access our higher self is one of the most powerful ways to stay centered in tough times.
The intuitive and divination arts are a pathway to uplevel in your mindfulness techniques.
Enlivened Learning: Take the Poll
The last time I taught a full 9-hour Art of Tarot Reading course was in October 2022.
I still plan to shift this into an evergreen online video program. I simply love the magic and connection that a live class online offers, and feel called to bring an opportunity to the community again.
