SOMATIC TAROT:
USING THE FELT SENSE
TO AMPLIFY MEANING IN READINGS
Community favorite Joe Schippa is a Founding Member and Guest Presenter of Manhattan Tarot. Joe's last sold out workshop, in August 2018, resulted in a thunderous call for more, and so here he is. It wasn't easy to catch him! Here is his description of what he will be teaching:
“As readers, at some point we put the little white book away and begin to use our intuition to guide our readings. Our interpretations, however, are still often influenced by what we have read (at least unconsciously) or learned from others. We can enhance our readings through the use of the felt sense, an internal source we can learn to access. Based on a technique used in somatic therapy, we will learn to locate the felt sense and use it to amplify our intuition in order to find new or additional meaning in our readings.”
ABOUT JOE:
Joe Schippa is a clinical and coaching psychologist with a post doctoral specialization in neuropsychology, as well as a conference presenter, school district administrator, and cabaret singer. An all-around warm guy, he is also brainy, and is going to bring that good material to YOU for your Tarot practice and life improvement.
So join us, as Manhattan Tarot explores ways in which Tarot, psychology, and the felt sense of the body come together in the best possible way. Get your ticket, and join us in our beautiful space.

THE VERY BASICS:
Love, Work, Money: A Study of Independence
with Ferol Humphrey
THE VERY BASICS, YOU SAY?
In this class we will took our cue from the July 4 holiday to consider what independence means on a personal basis, in the fields of endeavor most on everyone's minds: Love, Work, and Money. These time-honored topics are not trivial, but are the central theater of life, and all of us are concerned with them continuously.
Ferol Humphrey shared her Method to make this inquiry intelligent and productive, as well as fun. Friends were made in our 19 students, 5 of whom were new to the community. Progress was on the table! Manhattan Tarot is for Originality & Community. Join us next time!

SOLD OUT~ Fri Feb 1, 2019 FEROL HUMPHREY TAROT METHOD 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! This was living adventure~ Ferol Humphrey Tarot Method Using my Blurt Drill techniques we bridged 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! |

Fri Sept 21, 2018 3rd Fri Rockstars Scott Martin's Tarot Theatre 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 in 2005. Receiving readings which proved inaccurate, and then a few mind-blowing readings about past and current-life dynamics, he was drawn 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 his distillation and insight, useful and relevant in 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! Scott's techniques are for NON-ACTORS who read Tarot. The cards will open up to us in ways many of us had not considered before. It was GREAT! |
