Alchemical Pathways to Individuation through the Tree of Life
Online course begins Saturday, October 3rd 2020. Full online format via Zoom can be accessed from anywhere. Space is limited.
In this course we will explore the 11 spheres of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and work with its correspondences linking Cosmos (Astrology), Psyche (Dreams), and Matter (Alchemy). Inviting dreams and engaging through art, ritual, music, movement and discussion, we form an interactive healing community and create a Temenos in these times of immense personal and collective Transformation.
Drawing from the wisdom of C.G. Jung and Marion Woodman and others as well as ourselves, we will make the journey together to embody the Spirit of Wisdom, Sophia, as she awakens in ourselves and the world we inhabit.

The Mystic Fool
Unveiling Masks & Mirrors of the SELF in Tarot
10-Module Online Transformational Course
Full Online Format, pre-recorded class
The right way to wholeness is made up of…fateful detours and wrong turnings. It is a longhissima via, not straight but snakelike, a path that unites the opposites in the manner of the guiding caduceus, a path whose labryrinthine twists and turns are not lacking in terrors.
– CG Jung, Psychology and Alchemy

Why is Tarot relevant?
The Tree of Life, mapped with Tarot, offers a mandala for the soul’s journey to consciousness.
The Archetypal Images of the Tarot’s Major Arcana serve as a guide through the alchemical changes that initiate us to reclaiming the Self. In a time of vast planetary changes, polarities, transitions, quickening and metamorphosis, it’s easy to find ourselves caught in grief, fear and despair.
We are on a journey of initiation to learn to inhabit our role as creator, mediator and steward of the gods. Through close examination of the Major Arcana of the Tarot, we find that ancient archetypal pathways reveal the masks and mirrors of ourselves and the initiations we undergo on our path to consciousness.
The Ancient Hermetic Tree of Life serves as a ladder for the archetypal Fool’s return journey to source along the winding Serpent Path.The initiatory paths of the 22 tarot cards of the Major Arcana symbolize and embody the masks we wear and the mirrors we encounter as we face shadows in our evolving selves.
The Fool is an apt symbol of the journeying Self in each of us. Our individual pathways are unique but we must each undergo initiations of the Collective that lead us from folly to wisdom.
As we focus on the Archetypal realm, big life dream images may emerge and be integrated as we invite imagination, dreams, music and story.
Be prepared for an opportunity for powerful transformation and connecting with your own soul as you engage with the Tarot in this unique online series.
