This workshop will blend traditional tarot wisdom with experiential learning, as we uncover the many luscious layers of the empress archetype, and move through self-care embodiment and receiving practices together in sacred community.
The empress is inherently worthy. The empress listens to her body. The empress enjoys her body, and all of the pleasures and sensations that come along with it. The empress is made of earth magic. The empress gives generously and receives effortlessly. The empress is one face of the divine feminine, that we are all capable of connecting to.
The Empress is the 3rd card of the Major Arcana of the tarot, but the majesty of this archetype is not limited to the cards. There are so many invitations to work with the empress in our daily lives, our magical lives, and our creative lives. By connecting more deeply to this magical energy, you’ll be empowered to call upon your own inner empress, and to work with them to bring in more pleasure, beauty, abundance, and receptivity into your life.
During the first half of this class, we’ll learn all about The Empress card in the tarot, explore the energies of this archetype, and discuss the modern pop culture empressess we all know and love. During the second half, you’ll be invited into deep receiving and self-care, as you are lovingly guided through some gentle practices to connect to your pleasure, your senses, deep rest, and your capacity to receive. These practices will include self-massage and mindful movement practices, creative practices, and a luxurious guided meditation and reiki sound journey. Each participant will also receive a personal 1-card tarot reading for how best to work with their inner empress.
Taking place during Taurus season, during the last day of Venus’ transit in Taurus, we will have an abundance of Venutian energy present to support our pleasure-filled self-care practices and gentle explorations. You’ll leave the workshop feeling deeply nourished, well-rested, with a full cup, and ready to continue building a beautiful relationship with your own inner empress.
All are welcome - no tarot experience or knowledge required!
