Reviews

Comprehensive dive into the Major Arcana, paired with wellness suggestions and meditation. Fantastic course, one of the best I’ve experienced on Insight Timer. Thank you!

Wonderful course and gentle guidance by Lisa. I now feel more confident about interpreting tarot cards. I would love to have also a similar course on Minor Arcana and the elements it brings forth. Sending gratitude

Thank you for a beautiful and holistic course on the many facets of the Tarot. Blessings to you, fellow IT teacher❤️ 🙏

Liza! This course has been so amazing and enlightening. I have learned so much about the tarot and I am excited about learning more. Any books that you can recommend I'd appreciate it. Thanks again.

Such a rich resource for understanding the tarot! I am sure I will return to the course again for further insights. Thank you Liza 🙏🏼💝🌟

This is the first time that I have explored the tarot in any significant depth, and while I was bringing a lot of skepticism, I was also coming with some curiosity about story and the hero’s journey, and I am innately open to and longing for a connection to my own soul and to an Earth-based spirituality. I was not prepared for how each day became a very real experience of this meditation, wellness, and spiritual journey.

I was having a conversation about the symbol of the lightning bolt with a very dear friend and soul sister. She was telling me about the resonance of this frequency of energy in her life.

I felt privileged to witness her heart as she shared the secrets and wisdom she has been initiated into, which involved The Tower. I would not have had an understanding of what she was sharing without my own profound experience with The Tower in my own life this week.

I reflected back to her yesterday:

“Interesting that I was learning about The Tower on Monday and wrote the letter to my mother. There was a lot of lightning energy there, toppling the hierarchy and authority of patriarchal power being expressed through maternal judgement and the desire for control dressed as divine and eternal security.”

We were celebrating this soul journey we have been walking together, feeling the energy of The Sun, culminating in a sense of the completion of a cycle, represented by The World. Yet, I have a sense that I am only at the beginning of a new cycle of change as I embody the mermaid of The Fool card in the Tarot of the Divine by Yoshi Yoshitani.

For the past four years, I have been nurturing relationships within what has felt like a very feminine space of collective learning, collective healing, and collective flow.

This week, I acted upon my intentions to make a clear break with oppressive beliefs, systems, and institutions of patriarchal hierarchy and authority to find solidarity in kinship with each other and with the living world—an integration of the feminine and masculine energies that bring life to the universe through the synergy of working and playing together. In this year’s-long process of nurturing relationships, I am so grateful to have earned the trust of my Three Sisters, who have welcomed me into the gravitational embrace of our chosen family, into the metaphysical gravity of Love that holds us together: Sister Moon, Sister Sun, and Sister Earth.

Thank you for facilitating this magical experience, Liza. Much gratitude!
