Archetypes on the Table: A Jungian Approach to Tarot
Though often dismissed as fortune-telling, the Tarot, when viewed through a Jungian lens, reveals itself as a living map of the psyche. This session explores archetypes, active imagination, synchronicity, and individuation through the Major and Minor Arcana, blending lecture, live sample readings, and open discussion. No prior Tarot experience required.
