Connecting With Your Ancestors Through Tarot
Join Anna with Intention — Tarot and Human Design teacher and practitioner — for a soulful, beginner-friendly workshop via ZOOM, exploring Tarot as a bridge to ancestral wisdom. As Samhain approaches and the veil grows thin, you’ll be guided through meditation, intentional card practice, and heart-centered reflection to connect with the love, guidance, and lineage support walking with you unseen.

General Tuition $37; ISD Oneonta Members Tution: $31.

Workshop Description:

As the turning of the year approaches and Samhain draws near, the veil between worlds grows thin. This is the sacred season when we can more easily reach across time to connect with the wisdom, love, and guidance of those who came before us.

If you feel called to deepen your relationship with your lineage — to honor the ones whose lives made yours possible — this immersive, beginner-friendly workshop will guide you in opening the door.

Through guided meditation, intentional Tarot practice, and heart-centered discussion, you’ll learn a grounded, accessible way to use the Tarot as a bridge to your ancestors — both the ones whose names you know, and the ancient, well ancestors who have been walking with you unseen.

What You’ll Experience:

• Opening Grounding & Invocation — A gentle meditation to clear the mind, root into the land, and invite the wise and well ancestors into our circle.
• Basic Overview of Tarot Interpretation
• Ancestor Mapping with Tarot — Learn a unique spread using the Court Cards to uncover the elemental essence of yourself and key members of your family tree.
• The Ancestral Vessel Journey — A guided visualization to receive a symbolic gift from your lineage, followed by a Tarot spread to uncover its meaning.
• Personal & Group Reflection — Share insights, receive guidance, and explore ways to continue your ancestral connection at home.
• Each participant will receive a PDF workshop guidebook to support your practice during and beyond our time together.

This Workshop is For You If…

• You want to feel supported by the love and wisdom of those who came before you
• You’re curious about Tarot as a spiritual and intuitive tool — no prior experience required
• You’re drawn to the sacred energy of Samhain and want to mark the season in a meaningful way
• You’re ready to explore your own story within the larger story of your lineage

What to Bring:
Necessary: A Tarot deck - I highly recommend bringing a deck that you do not yet have a deep connection with or one that you have already used to work with your ancestors. The deck will carry the energy of your ancestors and this workshop for a long time so it is important to bring a deck that has imagery you love. I tend to teach and interpret cards that are modeled after the Smith-Rider-Waite Tarot. If you are new/beginner I recommend starting with one of the traditional SRW decks. If you do not already have a deck here are some recommendations: https://bookshop.org/lists/tarot-decks-anna-with-intention

Optional: A journal or notebook (participants will receive a workbook for this event)

VERY Necessary: An open heart and a spirit of curiosity

She supports women business owners, healers and creatives—especially those raised by narcissistic mothers—in reclaiming their authentic voice, self-trust, and creative power. Many of the women Anna works with are outwardly capable and accomplished, yet internally untangling guilt, over-responsibility, people-pleasing, and fear of visibility rooted in early relational wounds.

Through Human Design, Energy Psychology, and intuitive guidance, Anna helps her clients heal the mother wound at the nervous-system and identity level so they can lead, create, and grow businesses in alignment with their soul—without burning out, shrinking themselves, or recreating old dynamics in their work.
