Listening to the Earth: A Gaian Retreat

September 13th, 2011 § 0 comments § permalink

If you’re looking for a Tarot retreat to truly inspire the divine within, you might consider Joanna Powell Colbert’s Listening to the Earth: A Gaian Retreat in Ancaster, Ontario.

Powell Colbert is the creatrix of the beautiful earth-centered Gaian Tarot, newly released by Llewellyn in mass market format.

She’ll be giving the keynote talk at the retreat, as well as teaching workshops with local teachers and shamans.

Toronto’s own James Wells will be there, as will Bev Haskins, Andrea Mathieson, and Jeannette McCullough. Musical entertainment will be provided by Craig Olson.

The countryside will be stunning, the topics illuminating, and the company inspiring. Throw Tarot into the mix and it’s the perfect weekend.

The retreat will be held at the Caterbury Hills Retreat Centre October 7th to 9th. There’s only room for 36 participants, so tickets will go fast.

Here’s a video of images from the Gaian Tarot featuring Circle Song by Craig Olson.

Joanna Powell Colbert, James Wells, and Bev Haskins were on Beyond Worlds this past Sunday – if you missed it, you can listen here.

Moon in Aries – High Priestess in the Emperor's Clothing

High Priestess dressed as the Emperor

High Priestess dressed as Emperor

The Moon moves into Aries today and will stay there until Thursday.

Translating this transit into Tarot Cards, it would be like the High Priestess is wearing the Emperor’s clothing. She’s in scarlet and armor and is ready for battle.

The Moon in Aries, or High Priestess in the clothing of the Emperor, is a time of intensified emotions. You might feel an increased desire to shape your own world.

Rather than sitting back in stillness, this transit encourages the loosening of emotional restrictions and the conscious expression of enthusiasm and/or passion.

It might be uncomfortable at first, but allow yourself to speak out loud. Take steps forward to let people know what you know and what you love.

Try to remain objective and open-minded while acting with determination and direction. It might sound impossible, but you can do both if you try.

4 of Swords

Relax, stay calm and maybe even sleep on it.  There’s been a lot on your mind lately, and some of it has been quite heavy.  You need to slow down and reconnect with yourself.

Meditate on the changes you want in your life.   Figure out where your strengths lie and take that route to your goal.  It wouldn’t hurt to even reconsider the goal.  Are you sure you still want it?

And don’t forget your spirit.  Without it, the mental world can be pretty bleak.  Trust your dreams and keep in touch with your soul.  Make a truce with yourself – life isn’t always a battle.

A new sense of self and perspective on the world are available.  But you have to be quiet and still to find them.  Take today to figure it out.  You’ll be stronger in the long run.
