Social, low-key, and extremely useful, The Pull is a night designed for exploration of a simple self-help tool that we’re known for using here at Creative Spirit: Oracle and Tarot cards.
Pull up a chair, pick a deck from the ones we have here or bring your own, and join a group of amazing people as we practice working with different methods and techniques for reading cards for yourself and others. Working with spreads, reading by the book, reading by intuition alone, it’s all going to be explored and demonstrated so that everyone walks away with practical, easy, and usable techniques that they can implement right away.
Each month we take some time to focus on a specific topic within the Card Reading world.
Cost: $25 (Included in all Class Passes)
JUNE: Spreads
Most people know the three-card spread. Past, present, future. Maybe a few others if they've been at this a while. What most people don't know is that the spread you choose shapes the entire conversation you're having with the cards before you've even turned one over. A bad spread for a question is like asking someone to answer a yes-or-no question in an essay format. You get information, but not the information you needed.
This month we work with spreads specifically. What they are, how they work, and how to choose the right one for what you're actually trying to understand. We'll work with several in class so you leave with more than just the concept, you leave with structures you can use the next time you sit down with your deck at home and aren't sure where to start.
JULY: Creating Powerful Questions
The quality of a reading is almost entirely determined by the quality of the question you bring to it. "Will things get better?" is going to get you a shrug from the most gifted deck in the world. Learning to frame a question that actually opens something rather than closes it is a skill, and most people who work with cards have never been taught it.
This month we work on that. How to take what you're actually carrying into the room and turn it into a question the cards can do something with. We practice in class with real questions, the ones you actually have, and we keep refining them until they start to open rather than narrow. You'll leave with a completely different relationship to the front end of a reading.
AUGUST: Timing in a Reading
Timing is the question people bring to cards most often and the skill that gets taught least. When is this going to move? How long do I wait? Is it coming? The honest answer is that timing in a reading is not an exact science, and anyone who tells you otherwise is either very gifted or not being straight with you. What it is, is a readable quality. There are ways of sensing whether something is immediate, approaching, or still a season away, and that information, even when it's approximate, changes how you hold a situation.
This month we work on developing that sense. How to read timing through the cards themselves, through the energy of a spread, and through your own body's response to what comes up. You'll leave with an actual method rather than a guess, which is the best anyone can honestly promise you where timing is concerned.
I do recommend bringing a notebook so that you can jot down ideas, questions, or insights that you connect with. This class is meant to be FUN so, above all, bring your sense of humor!
