Why is Tarot a great tool for coaching?
In Coaching with Tarot, my six-week group programme to learn the Tarot, we explore how to work with Tarot as if it were a (drum roll…) COACH.
But what does this mean? What is the coaching ‘worldview’ that we are bringing to the practice of pulling Tarot cards?
A great coach helps you deepen your awareness of a situation, so that you can expand the choices that feel available to you.
The ‘situation’ might be a stubborn behaviour pattern, a relationship challenge, a big decision, planning a career move, managing anxiety…. Or really ANYTHING that is part of your human experience.
A great coach will ask you powerful questions that help you to access your inner wisdom.
They will not tell you what to do, because they believe that you already have the answers you need to move beyond challenges and optimize opportunities. You just need to connect with those answers inside yourself.
Tarot can be a ‘coach in your pocket’.
Ultimately, a Tarot deck is ink on paper. It holds no magical power….until you start collaborating with it to access your own inner wisdom.
This is how we work with Tarot in the Coaching with Tarot programme. We learn how the 78 cards of the Tarot are 78 mirrors into our own psyche, and how each card can reveal something to us - whether through the image, the symbolism of the card, or our reaction to it (good or bad!).
And the doorways into all this self-knowledge, are powerful questions.
We will learn how to ‘ask the cards’ questions that help you deepen awareness and expand choice.
Questions like “what am I not seeing about this situation?”, “what really matters to me right now?”, “how can I move forward from this argument?”. And many, many more.
But there’s one question that you’ll never hear me ask:
“What will happen with X?” 🙅♀️
Because a great coach encourages you to remain as the ultimate authority in your own life, rather than handing that authority over to an external party - be it another human, or a deck of cards. I do believe that some people are psychic, and can access knowledge beyond the human realm. But that isn’t the focus of Coaching with Tarot. On this programme, you are collaborating with the archetypal wisdom of Tarot to make more self-aware choices in your life, accompanied by your own personal version of spirituality (whatever that may be)!
At the end of the six weeks:
You will have the foundations to use Tarot as a ‘coach in your pocket’ to help you navigate decisions, challenges and opportunities.
You’ll have started building your own relationship with the cards.
You’ll have had many experiences of live Tarot coaching.
