"Brooks will teach you how to have a conversation with the tarot... how to use the cards as helpers, amplifiers and maps."

~ about MINORS ~
the minor arcana is a remarkable resource. often mis-labeled as boring or lessor, the minors help us unpack our actions, beliefs, emotions, and desires... they are the tendrils of actualization, where the big ideas get put into life-sized practice.
covered at a pace of 2 cards per week, this course supports students in deepening their relationship to the 78 cards called the minors.
it can be taken in conjunction with MAJORS, or as a standalone course.
MINORS course is great for:
- the moderate reader looking for a "way in" to the complexity, rhythms and bulk of the minor cards.
- the advanced reader seeking to comb through the minors and imbue them with your values and depth... addressing the less familiar (or misaligned) corners.
-
any reader / client / tarot enthusiast who feels intrigued by the *detail* of the minors - excited to reframe court cards, differentiate the suits, sense the rhythm of the numbers... get into the geeky stuff.

what students are saying...
"Brooks leaves little windows open everywhere for the mind and body to escape into daydream. It is in this imaginal and liminal space that I met the cards anew." - L.M.
"Taking minors with Brooks was a gift. The descriptions of each card was so meditative and trauma-informed. I was able to look inwards without judgment through Brooks' facilitation." - Lizzy
"This is not a course about memorizing the cards and their meanings. This is a course about learning to listen to the whispering voices of your own intuition and experience." - Katie
