Tarot - A Point of Power
Presented by Angela Brand
The Tarot is a wonderful vehicle steeped in ancient wisdom. Each and every card is the picture “that says a thousand words” and is a point-of-power designed to illuminate and provide sage advice for the everyday aspects of life and the major areas of growth we need to journey along our Path. We will learn a simple process to facilitate higher guidance and intuition, plus learn to be a constructive reader, focussing on cards from the minor and major arcana that are often considered “challenging”. This is a highly practical workshop based on the Rider Waite imagery.

Numerology, What's In Store 2025, how it blends in with the Tarot!
Presented by Jeanne Prosser
Whereas our Personal Year, derived from our birth date, is one that is individual to each of us, the year vibration, called a Universal Year, provides key information about the trend of events. It holds a collective influence, one that affects us all.
In her talk Jeanne will explain the key differences between our current Personal Year and the Universal 9 year of 2025. Although energetically these two numbers may seem at odds with each other, we can take advantage of both vibrations to maximise opportunities and soul growth.

Anne Shotter Presents:
Using Tarot to Tell a Story
We all understand The Fool's journey through the Major Arcana. This presentation will guide you to discover your personal story as told by the Tarot.
The Tarot is a rich, creative source of stories of unmeasurable expanse. It connects to our imagination through the language of symbols. We become familiar with its characters, their strengths and weaknesses. In our readings, we see the paths we are drawn to travel, sometimes chosen and sometimes fated. It is from this vast and complex potential that we can also draw amazing stories from our imagination. When reading for a client there are other considerations for us to consider. But have you ever just let your imagination create a beautiful story from the cards? Pamela Coleman Smith, the artist who drew the scenes in the Rider Waite Smith deck was also a set designer for the theatre. She thereby gave us an abundance of amazing settings to choose from to begin our stories. Please bring your own cards.
Biography: Tarot is my passion and I have worked with Tarot as a reader, teacher, mentor, and presenter for over thirty-five years. I was the founding President of The Tarot Guild of Australia and have occupied many roles since its inception.
