The Bones of the Deck: Collective Learning Experience
Over the last 30 years sitting with the Rider Waite Smith Tarot patterns began to emerge— quietly at first, and then undeniably. In these classes we explore those patterns together, moving through the cards from many angles, tracing the journeys woven into the deck, and discovering the connections that make the deck accessible without a book.
Read more intuitively by exploring the structure and patterns that show themselves when you look without the book!

The patterns were always there. Now you'll know how to find them.
The Rider Waite Smith Tarot is not a collection of 78 unrelated images.
It is a system — layered, intentional, and woven through with pattern. Numbers that echo across suits. Figures that mirror one another across the Major Arcana. Colors, symbols, and gestures that carry meaning from card to card like a thread you didn't know you were holding.
Once you see the bones of the deck, you cannot unsee them.
In this class we move beneath the surface of the cards — past keywords and memorized meanings — into the living architecture that holds the whole system together. You'll begin to understand not just what each card means, but why — and that changes everything about how you read.
This is for you whether you are newer to the deck or have been reading for years. Beginners will find a way in that bypasses overwhelm. Experienced readers will find layers in familiar cards they have never noticed before.
