I have over 30 years of experience giving tarot consultations and developed this exercise, "A Soul Walk: Tarot an Expression of Your Soul," of meeting each major tarot card as a teacher along a pathway as a learning and meditative tool. My experience in coordinating conferences and events fulfilled my desire to provide a safe and sacred time to explore the areas of transpersonal psychology, holistic health, symbolism, and spirituality. Nature has always provided a solace for me to reflect on how I can learn more about myself by observing the natural world around me. The tarot cards are external symbols that reflect our internal nature of feelings and thoughts, whether positive or negative. They are an ancient symbolic tool for us to learn about ourselves and to make the shifts needed in our behavior to improve ourselves and relationships with others in our life. We can make the world a better place to live by understanding ourselves better and finding that place of peace within us. Studying these symbols has been a passion for me and has lead me into many journeys.
I have a bachelors degree in art (design emphasis) and a certificate in Holistic Health from the Kripalu Center for Health and Yoga. I enjoy photography, writing poetry, doing research, and making the most of each day.
Have a great day!
