February 15 - April 12

2-5 pm pst, Zoom / 2 week classes per suit / 10 week course

The Greek téttares, meaning four, has inspired this offering. In this series we will do a deep exploration the four elemental suits, the minor arcana of the tarot to a provide a rich pictorial apprehension of the pips. There are several ways to participate in this offering, as I am always looking to make my work as accessible as possible. While in THRESHOLDS we learn the minor’s numerically (reviewing all elemental four aces one week, all the elemental twos the next, etc.), this offering focuses in on one suit at a time. We will journey from ace to ten, considering historical origins for the images of the iconic Smith-waite deck but expand our referential basis for interpretation to include historical myth against modern culture, across medium.

You will see the larger themes of each suit, such as how the pentacles concern with hunger, needs, neglect, class consciousness, time management, skill development, self-worth, ableism, and legacy. You will see how the concepts of the cards apply to you immediately, through revelatory question sets we will pull on communally, while deepening your resonance with the underlying essence of each pip in the tarot. 

These live classes will sharpen your understanding of the story, progression and medicine of each elemental suit. We will learn the concepts of the cards through direct and personal divinatory application. We often pull the cards to answer our most pressing existential and mundane questions, but the cards have much they ask us. This course will review such natural inquiries from the aesthetic and ethic of each card respectively.

This course is all live, and a less intensive commitment than THRESHOLDS or TENZ, about 2 months in total. I will lecture on each connecting card providing background, various thematic connections, and attention to the symbology of the cards art, and then we will pull cards in response to the may questions posed by each card.

There is magic to the collective reading because in this shared space we can reinforce healthy boundaries as channels for healing to occur. The collective meetings exist in a space of respect, equity and safety. Collective readings will cultivate courage and accountability, but with compassion and grace. You will get direct feedback from me and other students and will gain much proficiency in developing profound and evocative questions for the cards. Reading tarot is a powerful and intimate practice for self-development and multi-valent spiritual connection. Connecting with others who use the tool similarly, but with their unique expression is a very profound and fun experience. Shared readings amplifies one’s own interpretation.

We will spend two weeks on each suit, which you can sign up for anyone suit individually, and if you sign up for all four there is an additional live 1-2 class(es). This class(es) will focus on the daily pull, altar work, the sacred space and student presentations. Here we are in process together, sharing altars and culminating our time with daily demonstrations, an in-depth read of student’s lived experience and unique relationship to the cards. It is truly is my proud teacher moment, and I was all in tears at the last cohorts final presentations. 

Investment:

This work supports Queer Brown & Indigenous intellectual labor, teaching and being, and your investment is a radical redistribution of wealth to promote this liberatory, independent teaching. 

With each offering I am exploring how to make my offerings as anti-capitalist and sustainable as possible. As such I am offering this at a sliding scale rate.

For the various standalone suits sliding scale payment is set in place with the base payment at $100 to make this work accessible. This is a discounted rate @ $50 per class, but given that each class is 2-3 hours, a standard rate for this offering would be $100 per class or $200 for each suit. 

Should you want to enroll in the full Téttares course, The total suggested investment is $1000, but with a minimum investment of $500. 

Sliding scale allows for a more accessible minimum rate, but also for those who are able to pay somewhere within the suggested scale or beyond.  Consider this an investment into your intuition, into your overall well-being within the safe container of community. I have invested my Spirit, education, and experience into this course and welcome your wholistic investment as well. Committing to this offering is to accept invitation to a field and frequency of devotion, right relations and revelation.
