The Hero's Journey: Tarot as a Development Tool is an introductory workshop designed to promote personal and professional growth by challenging limiting beliefs, motivating mindset shifts, and building tools for emotional intelligence.
With the help of the tarot cards, your team will identify and reflect on blocks to success, and re-frame challenges to empower and mobilize effective change.
On a complimentary consult call, we work together to outline your specific objectives and design a program to deliver meaningful outcomes for your organization.
