Saddle your brooms - We are back!

This isn‘t a workshop to foretell your future. It‘s a workshop to become present with who you already are.
“In such doubtful matters, where you have to work as a pioneer, you must be able to put some trust in your intuition and follow your feeling even at the risk of going wrong.”
-Carl G. Jung
Dive into a ritual of enchantment and self reflection. For the fourth year in a row, we gather for All Hallow‘s Eve to listen to our intuition, weave together archetypal knowledge & insight, and contemplate what has been and what is to come.
Tarot is a tool for meditation. The cards, which were designed by women - with men taking most of the credit and profit, are one of the most distributed pieces of art. By activating our creativity, their imagery supports our brain to combine the different happenings in our life, and find the hidden thread among them. We find meaning in places we didn‘t dare to look. The art allows us to listen inwards with senses we often don‘t hone in our everyday business life - and sprinkle a bit of magic on the process, while we‘re at it.
If you are craving to take some time to listen inwards (that is: to your intuition), or to allow enchantment to re-enter your life, or just want to try out something new: Join me for this 90-minute workshop - and allow the magical weaving of self reflection, sacred imagery and meditative practice to spin you into the next step on your journey.
Bring a question or challenge - and be mesmerized by the magic of your own intuition. - How it works
You can prepare a question or simply be open to whatever wants to show up as guidance for your path. We don‘t use the tarot cards to receive „ another outside opinion“, yet to connect to your knowing within.
In the workshop (live or recorded), we start with a meditation practice to arrive. Then you write down your question and intuitively pick the cards you will work with for the session. I always like to be creative here - Usually I pick several piles with different cards and you can intuitively pick the one for you. Once you picked a card/ pile, you analyze the imagery through a guided process and additional questions for self inquiry. This guides you into deep in-sight (I hope you are as excited about this hyphen-iation, as me).
The images and archetypes on the cards draw you out of your rational mind - our place of planning, comparing, right-or-wrong-(over)thinking - and activate your creative and intuitive brain centers. These are the actual areas of the brain that are meant to support you in finding answers and creating solutions. Supported by these powerhouses, you move from inquiring yourself, to seeing yourself. (I hope latest now my „in-sight“ creation makes sense)
After this, we open up for sharing and questions and I offer perspectives on the traditional meanings of the cards, as well as some additional intuitive input for each pile. You can choose to share, ask a question or simply listen. (E.g., for those in the replay) In every session, there is a unique magic that starts to unravel in this part of the session. There seems to be a thread as to why this particular group came together, and how the different journeys are meant to inspire each other. Often there are overlaps in certain people‘s processes (e.g., a lot of people in the group switching jobs, thinking about self employment, rethinking relationships, tackling health improvement) Or also similar patterns of holding yourself back (e.g., self doubt, pushing your happiness into the future) The feelings of „I am not alone“ and „I can trust myself“ which arise, offer a grounding and expanding experience for our mind, nervous system and heart.
When we come together to work with our creativity and intuition, whatever shows up isn’t necessarily what we want - it is what we need. And that is often a calling to go beyond anything we could have ever imagined.
The outcome of the workshop: You see the path by seeing yourself.
Every process is different - yet usually, once you surrender to your creativity and intuition, you receive much more than you expected.
In-sight received can encompass:
your next steps ahead
fears holding you back and how to meet them differently
invitations on how to take care of your body, mind and heart
revelations about your hidden potentials and dreams
acknowledgements of where you are and how far you‘ve come
Participants often leave touched by their own intuition, with a feeling of ease of how playful and light they were able to access this knowing, and a sense of belonging having witnessed a group of like-minded leaders - and most of all: a strengthened trust in themselves and in their path.
Lastly, I‘m not going to lie: This isn’t a time for bullsh*t
Once you move from a purely rational approach, you surrender control and illusions about yourself and the world. This workshop will probably have you face yourself in an honest and present way. And in my experience what we are most likely to overlook isn‘t our darkness, it‘s our light.
So if you are ready to live your truth out loud (or silent): Join us for an evening of deep connection and magic. And experience the magic of trusting in yourself and your path again

Rational mind vs intuition: You only use 5% of your potential
Your rational thinking only makes up 5% of your brain’s processing power. Your subconscious mind is responsible for the remaining 95% . This includes all the information your body and nervous system gather and send up to the brain. If you have been thinking hard - you only used 5% of your actual power to gain clarity. So intuition is a thing. Studies have even shown that people who use their intuition rather than their analytical mind make faster, more accurate, and more confident decisions (cf. Journal of Psychological Science 2016). - The only question is: How can we access it?
This workshop will help you access those 95%, through an approach that takes you out of your comfort zone of rational (over)thinking, into your creative mind.
Clarity, an invitation to more courage and a little bit of in-explainable magic guaranteed.
Taking you out of your analytical comfort zone - The story behind.
In coaching, we one often work with picture cards to activate the creative right half of the brain - a way to access our subconscious intelligence. In a self-experiment, I once used tarot cards together with my coach instead of the picture cards for a situation where I felt stuck. I was sceptical and had a bit of a stereotype for Tarot. However, I was surprised by the result. Through the cards together with coaching, I not only found an answer to my problem, I was also shown the patterns that held me back, which I wouldn’t have seen this quickly otherwise. I began testing it selectively with my clients (from founders, Forbes 30 under 30, bankers, bloggers, etc.) and I was quickly impressed by how quick and deep the insights were - and how much fun people had in the process.
Since I always look for ways to bring more wonder, playfulness and magic back into my client’s life - I started hosting “Coaching X Tarot” sessions. These sessions have not only proven to provide radically honest results, but they also remind us of community, creativity and trusting ourselves.
