Resiliency is in the Cards
In times of uncertainty, we find strength in building community and connecting to our inner wisdom. Grab some tea and a journal and join us from the comfort of your own space, as we reflect on messages of resiliency in tarot and oracle cards. Each session I'll pull a card to use as a jumping off point to explore how we can cultivate resiliency in our lives and our communities. This ongoing online group will meet on Fridays from 11am-12pm. Most insurances accepted, self pay options available. Please contact me at jmatson@cfalinc.com for more details.
