Developmental trauma repair is about learning to be a safe caregiver to ourselves:

it’s the process of getting curious about what’s been missing in our early attachment relationships, and building self-trust as we learn to finally meet those needs. It’s not a journey we want to enter into alone: fortunately, cultivating a relationship with the tarot can provide a guide, ally, support, and resource on the way.

The two principal unmet needs most of us share are attunement and agency, and tarot is a potent medicine for both. Attunement means bringing a quality of witness and curiosity to our lived experience; tarot helps us see ourselves clearly and compassionately. Agency is the capacity to make choices and effect change based on our needs and values; tarot helps us connect to resource, and to expand our capacity to feel & receive. Trauma repair is about teaching the nervous system to feel safe in the world, and the nervous system learns by experience. Cultivating a relationship with tarot through ritual is a potent, yet accessible way to practice new ways of being and relating. Tarot invites us to recruit support from the more-than-human world as we tend to the wounds of relational ruptures and to take our place, as Mary Oliver wrote, in “the family of things.”

In this 3-hour workshop, you will:

  • Learn how to approach your tarot practice from a developmental trauma repair lens to help you reduce the pressures of shame, scarcity, and urgency.

  • Why many standard intention-setting practices have the potential to reinforce our trauma patterns

  • Experiment with specialized spreads to help you get to the root cause of your discomfort, make space for complexity and uncertainty, and orient towards resource & pleasure.

  • Explore about a dozen cards that can be used as resources & allies for specific moments of the trauma repair process, and how to work with them.

  • Receive attuned support to help you interpret your pulls.
