Zen Tarot is a monthly online get-together where two streams of spiritual wisdom come together as one: Zen Buddhism and the Tarot.

During these one-hour sessions, we will pull one card from a Zen/Buddhist-themed Tarot deck such as the Sacred She or the Dharma Tarot. We will discuss how this card’s teaching plays out in our lives, accepting the synchronicity of its appearance. We will then sit together in several ‘Zazen’-inspired meditations, reflecting on the card’s theme as well as offering us space to simply be with the breath and the body without grasping at our thoughts. You can join this group anytime by emailing stephen@naturetherapyonline.net. Donations are welcome (suggested £10 per session), but please come for free if money is an issue.

Connecting with Nature, exploring folklore and writing can all be therapeutic processes. This free workshop brings all three together. During the workshop, I will present snippets from my novel, Widdershins Around the Mother Tree (Queer Space, Rebel Satori Press imprint) as inspiration and example of how folklore and nature can be weaved into therapeutic writing. Find out more and book on Eventbrite. (This workshop is offered in partnership with Tariki Trust.)

Green Tarot is an experiential two-month course which will take us on a mysterious adventure. We will allow the cards of the tarot to guide us on a spiritual journey through our local natural landscapes, no matter where we live. All you need is a deck of tarot cards, a curious mind and a willingness to experience nature in new ways.

You do not need to know anything about tarot to join this group, although it is suitable for tarot experts too!
