How does the Tarot’s Major Arcana illuminate our Archetypal journey through the Tree of Life offer us keys to navigating our lives with meaning and purpose in our polarized, turbulent world?
The Ancient Hermetic Tree of Life serves as a map and a scaffolding for the archetypal Fool’s return journey towards source along the winding and ascending Serpent Path. The Initiatory pathways of the 22 tarot cards of the major arcana symbolize and embody the masks we wear and the mirrors we encounter as we face the shadows in our changing and evolving selves.
Exploring and dreaming into archetypes represented by these “keys” reveals the alchemical processes that are embedded and alive in the Tree of Life. As they are activated in us through a system that invites the imagination to express through Psyche and Soma.
The Fool is an apt symbol of the journeying Self in each of us. Our individual pathways are unique but we each undergo initiations that may lead us from folly to wisdom and transform the lead of unconsciousness into the Alchemical Gold of the Sage.
Dates: September 7, 14, 21, 28. Sundays at 6 to 8 pm (PT).
Location: Seabright, Santa Cruz, CA. Online option available.

Read a testimonial
“In addition to being an exceptionally gifted soul-oriented psychotherapist, Eva has been freely sharing the depth and breadth of her collective wisdom with a large community of on-line followers. She has spent a lifetime archiving and curating, in beautifully powerful ways, the long history of art and seminal articulations related to Soul Work in its multi-cultural, myriad manifestations from the most ancient Alchemical and Hermetic sources up through modern day Jungian Depth Psychotherapy and other Soul-Oriented perspectives. Eva has been answering a sorely needed and heartfelt call to elucidate the interconnectedness of Dream Work, Astrology, Tarot, and current “evidence-based”, mainstream state of the art Mind/Body techniques for healing trauma, centering, and consciously reclaiming ourselves during these turbulent times of deep change and desperate need for increasing balance/wholeness”.
