Course Description:
Take a look behind the curtain to separate the myth from the reality and understand the inner workings of Tarot. Welcome to an introductory course in intuitive Tarot methods. This is a practical course in the theory and method of Tarot with a hands-on approach. Students will learn various models and techniques for reading Tarot and receive practical experience in each.
You will learn about the Tarot and its history with an emphasis on the true history that dispels some of the common myths and misconceptions. In addition, you will learn an approach to reading Tarot that is fast, efficient, effective, intuitive, and extremely meaningful at a personal level so that even those who are unfamiliar with the cards will learn how to read them. Alternative approaches to reading the cards will also be discussed. You will learn a number of "spreads" or structures to lay out the cards for various kinds of readings.
Instructor:
The course is taught by Dr. Brian David Phillips, an internationally known and respected hypnosis practitioner, educator, author, and entertainer. Dr. Phillips is President of the Society of Experiential Trance, is the editor of the peer-reviewed Journal of Experiential Trance and was the founding editor of the peer-reviewed Journal of Applied Hypnotic Arts and Sciences. Dr. Phillips is the coordinator and chief instructor for the oldest English-language hypnosis and focused-trance practice group in Taiwan and is the owner and moderator of one of the largest online email discussion communities related to hypnosis and focused trance techniques. He has taught numerous workshops and seminars on hypnosis, focused trance, and experiential hypnosis as well as a number of webinars (web-based seminars) on these and related subjects. Dr. Phillips is an associate professor at National Chengchi University. Dr. Phillips uses rapid and instant hypnosis inductions routinely in his Waking Dreams Hypnosis Show, the only ongoing entertainment comedy hypnosis stage show in Taiwan.
