Enrolment for this programme is closed: the description is kept for the record. Some programmes return in new intakes — write to us if the topic interests you.

  • How do you learn to hear the cards and interpret images without fear of getting it wrong?
  • Why do the cards “speak” for some people and stay silent pictures for others?
  • How do you learn to read deeper meanings without getting stuck in logic and templates?

If these questions sound familiar, then at the next meeting we will work out why this happens and learn to work with images in real depth!

Difficulties in working with metaphorical associative cards (MAC):

“I’m afraid of making a mistake and can’t tell whether I’m reading the card correctly”: fear of interpretation blocks perception, and the wish to “guess” the meaning gets in the way of trusting your intuition.
“I see the picture, but it tells me nothing”: when the cards seem silent, it may come from a lost connection with your inner world.
“I get stuck in logic and standard interpretations”: you want to see more, but the conscious mind narrows the interpretation and doesn’t let the cards open up.
“I don’t know what questions to ask myself and my client”: without a well-phrased request, the cards seem random and uninformative.
“I work with cards but I’m not confident in my skills”: without practice and support, working with metaphorical cards feels hard and uncertain.

At this meeting we will look at how to clear these blocks and make the cards “speak”!


MEETING PROGRAMME

1. Introductions

  • A short round of introductions and tuning in to the work. Why do the cards “speak” for some people and stay silent for others?

2. Deep perception of a card (theory + practice, 30-40 min)

  • How does metaphor work, and why is it important to move away from clichés and memorised phrasing?
  • Three levels of perceiving the cards:
    • Logical
    • Sensory
    • Symbolic
  • Practice: “A conversation with a card”: we learn to perceive cards without logical analysis, only through sensations and images.

3. Practice: reading the depth of an image

  • The “Opening the card” exercise: a technique for understanding a card more deeply, even if at first it seems “mute”.
  • Discussion and feedback from the host.
  • Working through difficulties: what to do if a card “stays silent” or stirs up resistance?

4. Closing: developing the skill

  • Summing up.
  • Homework.

WHAT WILL THIS MEETING GIVE YOU?

  • You will stop worrying that you read the cards “wrongly”.
  • You will begin to trust your intuitive perception and see deeper.
  • You will understand how to uncover the meaning of cards without templates.
  • You will get a simple but powerful technique to practise with.

HOST: Anna Shyman, a psychologist with more than 13 years of practice, an expert in personal development, author and host of programmes on working with MAC.
