Setting up the altar for the Temperance gathering, at an in-person Fools Journey gathering in Brooklyn New York back in 2014.
The 2017 Brooklyn Fools Tarot Journey group in-person at Maha Rose. This is when I co-facilitated the journey with my dear friend and collaborator Lindsay Mack.
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 of the 22 gatherings honors the Major Arcana card of the week through: guided meditation, ritual, altar building, reflection, candle work, breath work, heart-circle check-ins and gentle somatic practices. 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!

The year 2025 is a Collective Hermit Year. Gathering together for the 6-month journey through the Major Arcana will be an auspicious way to work with the invitations of the Hermit’s devotional path.
Here is a photo of the Knight of Cups on top of my harmonium. The Knight of Cups from an astrological perspective is connected to Cancer. Knights = Cardinal. Cups = Water. Mars will be in Cancer for the first two thirds of journey through the Major Arcana, encouraging us to embody the Knight of Cups – intuitive journeying.
Here is a photo of me leading the Brooklyn Fools Tarot Journey online 10 years ago in 2015. The Fools Journey has been a practice near and dear to my heart for over a decade. I love gathering with Fools from around the World and building in community through the tarot.

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.
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. 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 once a week for 6-months is quite a commitment! And for this we bow to you for signing-up and carve 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. For instance, during the High Priestess gathering, you will likely learn Jeff Hinshaw’s deep-dive Personal Myth-Making Tarot Reading method and spread.
