This weblog publish goes to go up in tandem with a publication I’m sending out about tarot consultants doing company talking occasions. (It’s going to be titled “Why Aren’t Tarot Experts Doing Corporate Speaking Engagements?“)

As an addendum to what I say in that publication, for those who do company talking occasions or engagements and a tarot deck is being provided to all workers in attendance, the simplest strategy to a curated train is to ensure the deck comes with a really sensible LWB or guidebook within the field. It’s going to make your job as a workshop chief a lot simpler, since presumably most in attendance may have by no means dealt with a tarot deck earlier than.

Personally, I discover that SKT’s LWB does a reasonably good job at presenting self-reflection prompts, offering the sensible insights that may be helpful reference for a complete newbie.

You possibly can download a PDF of that LWB here. And if after you’ve learn that publication I’m referring to on this weblog publish you do wish to pursue company talking engagements, then you might be completely free to tug card which means textual content from my SKT LWB, rephrase it, and put collectively a printable hand-out to your occasion. You’d need to strip out all my woo language from the LWB in fact, however I personally assume there’s so much there that may make your job because the tarot workshop facilitator a lot simpler. Extracting simply the cardboard meanings part and including no matter you wish to add to such a hand-out, it’d solely be about 10 – 15 printable pages, so completely doable. =)
