Symbolic Grief: Tarot as a Reflective Practice in Bereavement

Tarot has long been used as a tool for self-reflection, narrative exploration, and meaning-making, all processes that sit at the heart of contemporary grief theory. This class explores the intersection of tarot and bereavement, drawing on research in symbolic processing, continuing bonds, and meaning reconstruction to examine how tarot can serve as a legitimate and accessible reflective practice for the bereaved.

Participants will explore how tarot's rich symbolic language can support grief work across a range of loss experiences, offering a non-linear, intuitive framework for those who may struggle to articulate their grief in traditional ways. Whether you are a practitioner looking to expand your toolkit or someone navigating loss personally, this course offers both a theoretical foundation and practical approaches for integrating tarot into the grief experience. No prior knowledge of tarot is required.
