Tarot 101: A Journey to Self-Discovery

Course Dates: February 5, 12, 19 & 26

Looking for answers? Let tarot be your guide. More than just a mystical tool, tarot is an esoteric art that combines pattern recognition with symbolic interpretation — skills shared by stock market analysts, meteorologists, psychologists, art historians, marketing strategists, and UX designers alike.

Delve into this four-week course led by local author, astrologer, tarot expert, and all-around creative Maria Sofia Marmanides, who will guide you in becoming familiarized with the 78 cards of tarot, understanding their meanings, and learning how to read for yourself and others.

By developing your ability to read the signs and building a skill set bolstered with practical applications, this transformative class will facilitate an environment for those open to exploring a powerful self-care practice that strengthens intuition and self-connection.

Registration fee: $35 (This fee includes the cost of a tarot deck that is yours to use and keep. You will receive your deck on the first day of the course.)
