Tarot Classroom 3 Begins 3/15/10

My Tarot Classrooms have been so popular, I've opening up a third Classroom on March 15th, 2010!

As with the two previous classes, space is limited to 10 students so if you've always wanted to learn Tarot from an expert and author in a relaxed, engaging and fun atmosphere, you may want to sign up ASAP. (You can do so here.)

We'll be using my Tarot Detective 7 Clue Method (the subject of my next Tarot book) and so much more. Here what students from the Tarot Classroom are saying about their experience:

I'm getting so much out of this class, but the most important thing is a newfound confidence in trusting my gut when reading the Tarot. I've never been able to do that before because I figured there was a 'right' and 'wrong' way to interpret the cards. Now that I understand it's all about reading in a way that resonates with me, I feel like a weight's been lifted off my shoulders. :-) -- Elizabeth Cooper

Although I have been studying and reading the Tarot for some time, I decided to take Janet Boyer's Tarot Class.  It has been a wonderful experience!  The class started on January 4th.  My knowledge and understanding has grown in leaps and bounds since then. -- Autumn Winds Tarot Blog

I've been interested in Tarot for a long time, but I've never delved deeply. For me, a resource junkie, I think I was just overwhelmed by all the resources. I needed a structure and an instructor. I didn't realize this until Janet advertised her class, and I found myself longing to be part of it. I've followed Janet's reviews and Tarot postings for a long while, and I felt she had good insights and experience with the Tarot. I like her take on things. Anyway, I figured $75 for a thorough Tarot class AND coaching in the Tarot for as long as I need it was reasonable. I've been doing it for a month, and I've found it to be well-organized, well-thought-out, and well worth doing. -- Tamara

Tarot Classroom #2 with Janet Boyer

Because of popular demand, I've had to create a Tarot Classroom #2! Originally, I had set the class limit to 10, but allowed in a few extras. Others have told me they wish they knew about the Tarot Classroom and were sorry they missed it.

So the wonderful news is that Tarot Classroom #2 starts February 15, 2010! If you missed out on the first session or were on the fence about it, you may want to sign up soon!

Only 2 weeks into classes, wonderful praise has already been posted about my Tarot Classroom. Here's one blog post:

I hope you can join me for engaging homework, personal feedback and innovative lessons and tips in Tarot Classroom #2! (Like Classroom #1, Classroom #2 will be a Yahoo Group with the exact same lessons--just different students).

Tarot Classroom with Janet Boyer

By popular demand, Tarot Classroom was created to provide an interactive learning experience with Tarot expert and author Janet Boyer. Specially created articles and exercises will be shared with the Group, as well as personalized responses to Group questions.

Come join me as we experience the Tarot! We'll cover Tarot structure, all 78 cards, archetypes, symbolism, readings and so much more. I'll also be incorporating a brand new Tarot method I've devised that is being shopped around to publishers in book form.

This virtual classrom will be geared to beginner and intermediate students, although Tarot enthusiasts of all levels will learn fresh new ways of seeing and working with the cards.

Entrance fee is $75 payable to synerjay@atlanticbb.net via PayPal. After that, students can contribute any amount on a weekly or monthly basis according to the value derived from the information provided through the Tarot Classroom.

Lessons will begin January 4, 2010, but students can join after that, as well. To give students the attention they deserve, space is limited so you may want to sign up soon if you've always wanted to learn the cards with a Tarot author and expert. (Click here to visit the Tarot Classroom).

Blessings to you and I'm excited for your new adventure in the cards!

Not-So-Tiny Tip: Can You Hear Me Now?

Does your querent's communication style match your own?  Or do your styles clash?  Are you suddenly finding it difficult to convey what seems to you to be the simplest, most straightforward information or idea without confusing, frightening or upsetting your querent?

In our everyday work lives, most of us have had to communicate with a wide range of people, and we learn--too often the hard way--that communication styles can be very different.  This can lead to miscommunication, misunderstanding and even out-and-out conflict. 

You know you're a knowledgeable and caring Tarot counselor, but what if the next querent you counsel has a way of hearing and interpreting information that is very different from your own?  Try these suggestions.

Tiny Tips (7): Stay Fresh

Give your workhorse decks a rest.  Try out a brand new or seldom-used deck with your next querent. Try your familiar layouts with a non-Tarot deck. If you're used to reading with the same old layouts, invent a new one on the spot or turn to some of your Tarot books for inspiration.  If you usually ask the querent to shuffle the deck and select cards, do all of that yourself this time.  Allow familiar Tarot archetypes to reveal previously unseen sides of themselves and tell you new stories.

Shake it up.  Give yourself a challenge and a fresh perspective, and watch how easily and gracefully fresh insights arrive.

Tiny Tips (6): Reading across layouts

If you use more than one layout in a querent reading, you've probably noticed how often messages--and even specific cards--from one layout show up in the next and maybe the one after that, too, even when the questions prompting these subsequent layouts cover a different topic.  This neat little phenomenon is Tarot's way of underscoring certain information, reminding the querent of the most important aspects of the reading. 

Expect and look for these interesting amplifications and draw your querent's attention to them.  A layout can be a snapshot of a moment in time.  Reading across layouts turns that snapshot into a full-color, 3-D installation with breath and sound.  The querent learns how each part of his or her life is interconnected with every other.

Tiny Tips (5): Serenity

Faced with an uptight querent?  If your customary pre-reading small talk doesn't seem to be helping to ease your querent's nervousness, try my suggestions right away.

Tiny Tips (3): Stumped?

In the middle of your reading, suddenly you hit a speed bump.  Maybe it's one of those pesky Court Cards or something else, and you just can't figure out what in heck it's doing there.  Don't panic!
