In this experiential process, participants are gently guided into a light hypnotic state and invited to ‘enter’ a tarot card – stepping into the imagery and symbolism as if it were a living dream. This technique allows the subconscious mind to engage directly with the archetypal wisdom of the cards, offering intuitive insights, healing symbols, and guidance from within.

Rather than reading tarot in a traditional sense, this approach helps clients ‘read their own tarot’ – using trance to explore what each card means to them personally in that moment. The subconscious naturally reveals what is most relevant and beneficial for the client’s current life path, emotional landscape, and spiritual evolution.

Participants are encouraged to bring their favorite tarot deck if they wish – but it is not required. A variety of well-known and evocative decks will be available to choose from and displayed on screen for shared exploration.

Includes a handout with suggested hypnotic phrasing, sample card imagery, and tips for facilitating individual or group sessions.
