Zoom Event! Deeper Tarot: Pathway to the Soul

Jesse Carsten, Sunday, December 13, 2-4PM Pacific Time, $20

In the study of tarot it’s easy to get lost in complexity: card meanings, symbol sets, numerology, esoteric histories, astrological associations, and so on: all the intellectual subtlety of these beautiful, intricate cards. We can easily forget that our practice of the tarot is about healing, connection, guidance, support, and the uncovering of wisdom. In this workshop, we’ll tap into a deeper sense of relating with the tarot, using meditative and imaginative practices to focus on its soft, subtle, often psychosomatic transmissions, as it leads us down into ourselves, towards the greater mystery of the soul. 

Jesse Carsten (they/he) is an interdisciplinary poet, musician, mythologist, and psychospiritual intuitive based in Portland, Oregon. They hold an MA in the study of mythology with an emphasis in depth psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California where they are currently a PhD candidate. Jesse also received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Their most recent book of poetry, a collaboration with visual artist B. Ingrid Olsen, was published by Hassla Press. Their music project Half Shadow has a new LP slated for an early 2021 release.

Zoom Event! Planetary Shifts of 2021

A Breath of Fresh Air!

Mark Dodich, Friday, January 8, 6:30-8:30PM Pacific Time, $25

Join us for one of Mark Dodich’s most popular talks of the year. Is the Age of Aquarius finally here? After the triple alignment of planets in serious Capricorn in 2020, prepare for a breath of fresh air as two important planets begin as new 20-year plan enters idealistic Aquarius. However, there is still some of the old that needs to go through “death and rebirth” as transforming Pluto begins to return to the birthplace of the USA chart-something’s got to give! There is also the question if Tecumseh’s Curse is still in play, where a President dies in office every 20 years. Learn how to maneuver through this revolutionary shift from old to new.

Mark Dodich has been an astrologer since 1980 with a busy international practice based in Portland, Oregon. Check out his full bio and download the current newsletter at AstroMark.us
