SOLD OUT! Friday Feb 1, 2019
Manhattan Tarot's first experience in our new venue took place on First Friday as usual. We had 20 participants, exactly as many as our tables would hold, and we had a blast. When we meet on Friday Mar 1, we will be prepared to seat 50!

We ventured into living adventure with my Ferol Humphrey Tarot Method, and discovered how my Blurt Drill techniques bridge feeling, thinking, intuition, and vocalization, long before we ever attempt to actually read the Tarot. Great progress was made, much practical learning occurred, folks told the truth about their experiences, and everyone laughed a lot. Next time, why don't YOU come!

SOLD OUT! Friday, Jan 4, 2019
For the 5th time in a row,
we sold out our 12-seat venue~
the last two events in just 48 hours.
It is time to look for larger space. Stay tuned.

Scott Martin's Tarot Theatre
7-9pm, 10 seat venue, SOLD OUT!
Floor seating and standing room available at same price.
Scott's autographed copies of "Bringing the Tarot to Life"
and you folks bought all of the copies that he brought with him!
$20 pre-registration

Scott took us for a wonderful ride into feeling and knowing Tarot.
A Manhattan Tarot favorite, Scott is better known to the world as a lifelong teacher of acting, who began Taroting 15 years ago. Receiving readings which proved inaccurate, and then a few mind-blowing readings about past and current-life dynamics, he was drawn all the way into our beautiful Tarot world, to discover for himself how Tarot can actually HELP us.

Now, years later, Scott has his own book~ Bringing the Tarot to Life: Embody the Cards Through Creative Exploration~ which brings us his distillation and insight, useful and relevant to our modern world. He offers us some of the best techniques from his career in acting and directing, for learning the Tarot. Did you know that the Waite Smith deck was created in an acting atmosphere? Yes indeed! Don't worry, you don't have to act, this is truly a Tarot book, and you will love it and learn lots!

In this mini-workshop, Scott led us through techniques created for NON-ACTORS who read Tarot. The cards will open up to us in ways many of us had not considered before. Paper, pen, and curiosity was all we needed, for Scott Martin's Tarot Theatre. It was GREAT!

WHAT IS MANHATTAN TAROT?

Hello!
Welcome to Manhattan Tarot~
Vitality, Originality & Community.
I am your host, Ferol Humphrey.
Manhattan Tarot meets 1st Fridays in Murray Hill, in the context of modern and ancient Tarot. Join us!

I am a Tarotist, kabbalist, and esoterist with 35 years in study of world religions and spiritual systems, philosophy, mythology, Tarot, and the healing arts. I have a teaching Method and provide private tutoring and public classes, to lead people to further development and growth, for quality of life. I have offered local and international conference and convention Master Classes in Tarot and healing arts since 2006. I am available to do that again in other venues.

> > Here at Manhattan Tarot,
I mainly create gatherings for creative development, community and originality. I like to bring people together for recreation, discovery, and enlivenment, so that they may go forth and live better lives. We focus on YOU, and what you are discovering and creating, and how we can do it together in community.

HOW WE WORK~
Manhattan Tarot meets in a specially-announed venue for large attendance, with smaller gatherings at my office in Murray Hill, Manhattan:

Ferol Humphrey
The Art of Wellness
141 East 35th Street
Suite 1, Ground K
New York, NY 10016
917-834-3901
Text or call if you are in the neighborhood
are unsure how to get into the building.

1st Fridays~
1st Fridays are $20, prepaid. Registrations are non-refundable. This fee pays for our beautiful learning space in the New York New Church. Our casual gatherings are designed to engage the group as a collective, for inquiring about the basics of Tarot, showing decks, demonstrating new layouts, and asking about books and teachers. They are intended to be fun, and will feature my own body of work and Tarot educational experience. Come and join us!

Quarterly 3rd Friday Rockstars~
$20-$40, prepaid. Registrations are non-refundable. Our guest presenters receive compensation for their work! These gatherings are for presentations by talented members, or teachers, creatives, therapists, scholars, and others (perhaps well-known!), who are interested in sharing techniques and theory with an enthusiastic mid-sized group.
Our Guest Presenters are noted at right.

All-day or Evening Workshops~
$65-$125+, these gatherings are for past Guest Presenters who want to take their game to a higher level or a larger group. I may teach some of these myself, and will co-present with well-known Tarotists who live in NYC, surrounds, or are here in town for other appearances. We will use a larger, classroom venue.

Manhattan Tarot Meetup~
This meetup has been going since 2004. I have hosted it in various cities around the US, and now is headquartered in NYC. Members can select No Mail or elect to receive reminders and announcements which make life easier to schedule. You will find us on meetup.com

Manhattan Tarot Facebook~
People who have actually attended a gathering in NYC will be invited to participate in the FB group, if they find that easier than the Meetup system or checking the web. We use that group for announcements and for expanding on techniques learned and tested in the 1st & 3rd Fridays.
