The Tarot in Action: Archetypes, Synchronicity and Spontaneity

The Tarot deck has fascinated people for hundreds of years and continues to attract people of all ages, including adolescents and young adults, people who define themselves as non-traditional thinkers, and people interested in a wider exploration of spirituality.

Here, we bypass the idea of fortune telling and instead employ the images of the cards to facilitate exploration of self and personal development through a variety of means, including guided imagery, psychodramatic techniques of role play, therapeutic sculpturing and guided dialog.

We also will explore Carl Jung's perspective of synchronicity to emphasize the building of spontaneity and creativity.

In this workshop, instructed by Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, TEP, you will learn:

• How Tarot can serve as an adjunct to psychotherapy.
• How Tarot images correspond to Jungian archetypes.
• The basic elements of the Tarot and their meanings.
• How to use the Tarot in psychotherapy and coaching, even if you are not a “Tarot person.”
• Using psychodramatic techniques of doubling, role reversal and mirroring to explore Tarot images.
• The differences between Tarot and oracle cards.
• Using Tarot and oracle cards in groups and 1-1 settings.

Please bring your own Tarot deck if you have one.
