self study: empower your dreams & visions with tarot
Dear Dreamer,

Are you on the cusp of a major change in your life?
Are you tired of putting off your dreams for “someday” and are ready to make “someday” happen right now?
Would you like to get up every morning feeling joyful and full of purpose?
You aren’t alone. I know how you feel.
We all have a dream (or two or three). You might want to write a book, or get really fit and healthy, or make a big difference in your community. You might be wondering about your purpose in life. Or you may have already identified the unique gift you have to give to the world but you want to move up to the next level. Maybe you want to start your own business and earn an abundant income. You might want to find a spiritual community, or maybe you want to express yourself in music or art. You might have a vision to change the world.
But I bet that . . . you don’t know how to get started. I bet you believe that other people can manifest their dreams, but you can’t. It’s just too hard.
You might have a long list of reasons why you can’t possibly make this dream of yours happen, starting with not enough time and not enough money. Maybe even I’m too old.
Sound familiar?
I know how you feel, because I’ve been there myself. I still have a few dreams I haven’t brought to manifestation yet— notice the “yet”
— but I have made these dreams come true:
I earn a good living as an artist, writer and spiritual teacher.- I live in a lovely home in a beautiful setting, close to Mama Gaia (the natural world).
- I have a loving relationship with a life partner.
- I’ve been successfully self-employed for nearly 20 years, even though some of those years were quite lean. (I’m so glad the lean days are gone!)
- I’m part of a vibrant spiritual community.
- I successfully completed a major art project (the Gaian Tarot deck and book), even though it took me nine years to do it.
- I signed a contract with a major Tarot deck publisher to publish it.
- I released a deluxe Limited Edition of the same deck, and received a lot of love and financial abundance for it.
If I can do it, so you can you.
You can’t just sit back and hope things will get better. At some point, you have to make a decision to go after your dream.
And making that decision (a real, committed, definite decision) will often start things moving. In fact, the first step in the program involves . . . making a decision.
Manifesting your dreams is not necessarily easy. It takes more than visualizing dollar bills floating out of the sky. You have to show up, and do the work. You have to be willing to get past the blocks and the limits that have kept you comfortable, yet still longing for your dream.
A few years ago, I designed and presented a workshop at the Women of Wisdom conference in Seattle called “Empower Your Dreams with Tarot.” I remember that when I created that workshop, the steps seemed to come through me like a “divine download.” The women who took that class loved it, and moved towards making their dreams a reality.
If they could do that in one three-hour class, imagine what we can do in six weeks!
I’ve refined and expanded that original class into a full-on six-step program, and I am thrilled to share it with you . . .
Empower Your Dreams & Visions with Tarot:
How to Move from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be
In this program, I’ll lead you through a series of exercises, using Tarot cards (from any deck) as a tool for insight and wisdom. These exercises are designed to move you from a self-defeating place of “I can’t do it” to “I can totally do it, AND I am doing it!”
You’ll receive guidance, support, and the life wisdom of an elder (that’s me!) who has been walking the path of authentic creativity for many years.
This course ran as a live course in early 2011, and it was one of my most popular courses ever.
And . . . it is now available as a Self-Study course you can work at your own pace!
Each step consists of a webinar (video), also available as an audio file, plus PDFs to download of assignments and resource materials.
Here is my intention for you, by the end of the six steps:
- An excitement about your life.
- A possibility mindset.
- Clarity about your dreams and priorities.
- That you know how to get past your inner blocks that drain you and keep you defeated.
- That you have a daily spiritual practice of your choice.
- That you have taken action toward your dreams, plans and goals.
- That you have clear next steps for yourself and your dreams.
Students in the first Empower Your Dreams course made these changes in their lives:
Linda quit her day job and made solid progress toward the creation of her new business, a healing sanctuary for animals.
Karel discovered that the dream she started the course with was not her true dream. Several weeks later she decided to go after a Masters of Divinity in pastoral counseling.
Rue, Bobbi, Petrina, Mimi and several others adopted a new way of eating on their way to vibrant, radiant health.
Pat started a new daily spiritual practice and, after several weeks of it, was led to a new dream — the creation of a spiritual / political website that promises to be a vital force for good in the world.
Julianne reclaimed her creative mojo by putting music, art & dance at the top of her priority list instead of the bottom, and — besides becoming a righteous henna artist — she had the courage to audition for Simon Cowell’s X-Factor TV show (go, Juels!).
These are just a few of the stories of the dreams that are manifesting in the material world, because of the work these women did in the first Empower Your Dreams online class.
What are the Six Steps?
I introduced the Six Steps in a free teleseminar. If you haven’t listened to it yet, you can download the recording of the teleseminar here (MP3 file).
People are talking about the first Empower Your Dreams course . . .
“Joanna has an amazing balance of grounded practicality with sincere and inspiring spirituality that she so obviously truly applies to her daily journey.” – Theresa Eagleheart, North Carolina
“She lives what she teaches and really is an expert at finding proper resources to support her class and teachings.” – Trish C., California
“Joanna is so warm, open, supportive, and fun!” – LT, Florida
“I’ve loved every minute of the course. . . Joanna is a kind, gentle, patient and down to earth person, with much to offer, and her organization and planning for this course showed in everything she did.” – SD, Pennsylvania
“[The course] was inspiring. It was uplifting and encouraging, but also practical and down-to-earth. Joanna works hard, she teaches with wisdom, clarity, and a true connection to spirit rather than a cult of personality and hype.” - SC, Washington DC
Yes, I’m ready to go after my dreams!
You will have access to a password-protected website for 15 weeks, where you can watch the six webinars or download them to your own computer and keep them forever. You will also be able to download all the assignments and resource materials in PDF format, and can work the steps at your own pace.
PLUS: The next time I offer the live version of Empower Your Dreams (probably in 2013), you’ll be able to register for more than a 50% discount!
The price of the self-study course is $127.00.
I am blessed to have you as part of my tribe and community, and I’m here to hold those dreams for you.
Bright Blessings,
