  • EP31 5 Powerful Talks About Divination

    My good friend James has gathered together some wonderful teachers for a course called Embodied Divination: A Sacred Pilgrimage to Activate Your Creative Gifts. As part of promoting this class all 5 of us did an interview about the focus of our class. I don’t want to make this post all about selling – if you want to read the details they are below – but I wanted to share the great interviews with you. Though they mention the class they are not all about selling and each offers a tool that you could apply right away!

    We’re delighted and honoured to announce Embodied Divination, a five-week experience that will inspire and support you to remember and live out your naturally creative, high-frequency state of being. The innovative processes presented on these calls are cutting-edge methods of employing symbolic tools such as the tarot, oracle cards, and casting charms to help you focus on your gifts, tune in to your resources, overcome challenges, achieve meaningful goals, and become the vibrant, life-sustaining presence in our world that you always intended to be.

    Join James, Carrie, Andrew, Mellissae, and Nancy on five consecutive Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Eastern Time (5 p.m. Pacific, 6 p.m. Mountain, 7 p.m. Central) for a journey that makes ancient wisdom ways relevant to the 21st century.

    What will you experience in the five sessions? Read on!

    Call #1 (January 14)

    DIVINE SOLUTIONS: ACTIVATING YOUR SOUL-SIGHT with Carrie Paris
    What you seek is seeking you. —Rumi
    I believe that you and I are seeking each other. Our combined paths are looking for a shared experience that will promote the evolution of our existence. What I bring to the experience is a practice called Divine Soulutions. This divination technique adopts the wisdom of tarot to activate Soul-Sight— a method for recognizing the signs that are pursuing you. Please join me on this divine quest so you may see the signs inside the everyday that point the way to your unique, yet universal mission. All levels encouraged.

    Call #2 (January 21)

    LIFE: THE ULTIMATE CREATIVE PROJECT with James Wells
    You can drift through your existence and die full of regrets or you can create your life consciously to evolve into the person you always intended to be. The choice is yours. Combining the logical sequence of the tarot suits with your imaginative response to the card symbols is a powerful way to examine and map out every aspect of your life: body, emotion, mind, spirit, resources, and relationships. By making James’ process a regular personal practice, you will embody wholeness and enrich your community and our world with your unique presence and gifts. Will you do it?

    Call #3 (January 28)

    MEETING YOUR DESTINY SELF with Nancy Antenucci
    Your destiny unfolds as you read these words. Up until now you may have been shown glimmers and signs of yourself living fearlessly. Go beyond the wishes and imagination to commit to the true magic of this life, your Destiny Self who is the one at the end of your life that has tried all that s/he so desired. Nancy will provide helpful road posts for creating a ritual in which you will meet, commit and start to live without restriction. We will use tarot cards, or divination tool of your preference, as soul prompts to illuminate this process. If desired afterwards, there will be a personal email exchange about your ritual to further support your Creative Destiny.

    Call #4 (February 4)

    A MEDICINE WALK WITH YOUR MUSES with Mellissae Lucia
    Where does creative inspiration come from and how can you work more consciously with this mysterious source to earth your visions? Using your favorite divination deck, we will embark on a sacred pilgrimage to your Muses, court the wisdom of these essential guardians and guides, and unlock your creative potential. This rich session is rooted in Mellissae’s own seven-year Medicine Walk that culminated in the wilds of the New Mexico desert.

    Call #5 (February 11)

    WHERE THERE IS FEAR THERE IS POWER! with Andrew McGregor
    When we start to embody our full creative self, it can often bring up fears. These fears can discourage us from doing the work we feel called to make. However, as we acknowledge them and give them an invitation to take part in our work, they can drive our efforts forward. By using Andrew’s process you will be able to get beyond what is holding you back in your projects and creativity. By learning to acknowledge and integrate fears in this manner, you will be able to turn them from obstacles to tireless allies.

    *** In addition to each live experience, you will receive recordings of all the sessions so you can glean fresh perspectives every time you revisit them. Every call will also come with helpful PDF handouts so you can follow along and perform the activities with ease.
