Brooklyn Fools: Tarot Journey
6-month Certification Program
The Fools Journey is a deep dive ritual experience in which participants intimately touch base with the tarot archetypes that live within and without. Traveling from the Fool all the way to the World, this journey is designed to deepen your tarot practice in an integrative and holistic way.
Each gathering honors the Major Arcana card of the week through: guided meditation, ritual, altar building, reflection, breath work, astrological connections and gentle somatic practices. Gatherings meet on Zoom and last for 75 minutes. The intention of each gathering is to cultivate a container for deeper healing, reflection, and intimacy.
If you are longing to connect with the philosophy of the Fools Journey, with the loving support of community, then take my hand and step off the cliff into the unknown world that awaits!
What sets this year's journey apart?
This will be the first time the Fool's Journey will be offered as a Certification Program. Throughout the journey, you will have opportunity to submit a thesis of sorts, to write, share and communicate with me how you are integrating the material into your life, work and offerings. At the end of the Fool's Journey, you will receive a Certificate of Completion, and a shoutout on my website under Brooklyn Fool's Tarot Journey Certified. You will receive the Certificate at the end of 2024, as we head into 2025.
We will gather 3 times throughout the journey for private deep dive tarot and astrology readings. During this time you will be gifted the opportunity to check in with me one-on-one about your intentions for gathering and to discuss how your tarot journey is unfolding.
This is the first tarot journey gathering during the second half of the year – from the Summer Solstice (Cancer Solstice) to the Winter Solstice (Capricorn Solstice). This feels particularly powerful to gather in this way, as we dive deeper into 2024. I am looking forward to being of support and offering my nearly decade's worth of group facilitation to help us grow and learn with one other.

Frequently asked questions
Are you required to have your video on during the Zoom calls?
Please note, the Fools Journey is not setup in a traditional class or discussion forum. Instead, it is intended rather as a sacred container for deep internal work in your own life. When gathering on the Zoom calls, you are welcomed and encouraged to have your video on, as it will help to cultivate community support. However, having your video on is not required.
Why is it called the “Brooklyn Fools”?
In 2014, the first group gathered for this 6-month tarot ritual. This was in Brooklyn, New York. I have since kept the name to honor the origin of this container. In addition, the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot was created, illustrated and conceptualized in Brooklyn, New York at Pratt Institute in the early 1900s.
Will I be able to ask questions during the gatherings?
Yes, there will be time each gathering to ask questions, and you are welcome to type in the questions in the Zoom Chat Box at anytime. Please note, however, that each gathering has a flow unto itself. Think about when attending a meditation or yoga class, most of the class is guided within the self. This is similar in the Fool’s Journey. We will start with an invocation, flow into a guided meditation, into altar building, and then finally into other practices that cultivate deeper listening and intuition. Therefore, the majority of the gatherings take place in a reflective and ritual-like manner, but questions are always welcome and encouraged.
What if I can’t attend all of the gatherings?
Gathering for 6-months is quite a commitment. And for this, I bow to you for signing-up and carving out the space in your life for this kind of journey. Because it is such a time commitment, of course there will likely be weeks that you cannot attend. Not to worry, all of the gatherings will be recorded, and sent out the following day in the event you are unable to attend.
Will we be covering the Minor Arcana and Court Cards during out time together?
The intention of the Fool’s Journey is about cultivating a deeper relationship through ritual to your tarot practice. Because of this, the Major Arcana is the primary focus - and each gathering is a full on immersion and celebration of the card of the week. However the Court Cards and Minor Arcana will be lightly touched upon during the journey. For example, on the Empress Gathering (Empress = 3), we will connect with the 3’s of the Minor Arcana, as their numerology very much ties into the themes of the Empress.
Will we be covering Tarot Spreads during out time together?
Again, the intention of the Fool’s Journey is to cultivate deeper intimacy with the Major Arcana of the tarot. Therefore, tarot spreads are not a primary focus of the Fool’s Journey. Instead, this experience is for the tarot practitioner who is interested in diving deeper into their practice through ritual. However, there will be certain gatherings that do incorporate deep-dive Tarot Spreads.
