Hi All,
As some of you know, I work at a program for learning disabled adults. This summer we got to do some groups on "lighter" topics, so I started one based on Mark McElroy's Putting the Tarot to Work. It's been a lot of fun for both the clients and myself--especially the movie exercise!
Last week I decided to use the Answer Deck in an exercise. I had each of them choose from one of three questions:
"What do I need to think about to improve my
1. social life, 2. financial life, or 3. health?"
Each of them then drew a card.
Some of the answers were pretty obvious. One client pulled Generosity for the social life question--was his girlfriend looking hard at him at that moment! Another pulled Patience for the health question--she was specifically thinking about weight loss.
Other cards were baffling. One client pulled the Scandal card for the financial question, another the Master card for her social life. The biggest response came when an openly gay client pulled the Woman of the World card for his social life question. Everyone's brainstorming muscles were stretched!
Anyway, just wanted to share this with the study group. I will definately be using the Answer Deck in other activities!
