Become a Member of the Gaian Tarot Circle!

Joanna Powell Colbert Dear Gaian Tarot Lover,

From the very beginning, the creation of the Gaian Tarot has been all about community. One of the key inspirations behind the deck was the unique web of people, animals and plant life that I connect with, here in the Pacific Northwest. And the community has been there, time and time again, every step of the way:

My friends and family posed for the cards and even took some of the reference photos for me.
My blog readers and, later, Facebook friends gave me feedback on the images as I created them.
When it came time to release the Limited Edition, I enlisted my talented sisters and brothers to help make the extra goodies that come with the deck and book.
More extraordinary friends gave valuable feedback on the book manuscript.
And my local Tarot and spiritual community showed up to help bless, box and ship out nearly 500 decks this spring.

Your emails and comments poured in after you began to receive your decks in the mail, and I realized that another kind of community was being born. It's a circle of people who love this particular deck and who also love the earth (for why else would you be drawn to this deck?). Readers of this deck are truly a magical, special breed — a group of people interwoven with the larger community.

When I asked people what they wanted next, they overwhelmingly said they wanted a place where we can all come together on a regular basis for ongoing study, camaraderie and deep work. So I've created this place for you. I can't wait to show it to you and have you join in.

“When I first received the much appreciated ‘eco-packaging’, upon opening it to view the gorgeous handmade bag and amulet, then to touch the cards, filled with the magic of your images, and to read your interpretations that resonated so beautifully, I just wanted to savor each and every card, which Karen and I sat together to do, in our quiet and lovely living room. In the crazy busyness of my life, I will relish the moments I can sit down and truly savor the spirit you have brought forth in these cards. Ah…what a treasure.” - PC, Portland, Oregon

Imagine . . .

Being part of an online "sacred space" where you hang out with like-minded people
Nurturing yourself by taking time for your spiritual practice and your Tarot practice
Being inspired to deepen your relationship with Mama Gaia
Supporting others and being encouraged by them as you all learn to use the Gaian Tarot deck
Moving more deeply into your own heart work

GTC Members are saying . . .

“What a wonderfully diverse bunch from all over! I am loving the warmth and spirit of the group, and I look forward to working and playing with everyone. I sense friendships to be gained and road trips to be had! . . . I think the most interesting thing to be developed is working with others on interpreting readings for circle members and seeing all our different points of view. Thank You Joanna for such a great on-line opportunity!”
- GL, Michigan

“This feels like a real community, a warm one. We introduced ourselves enthusiastically, several people discovering that they had already met in person or lived near one another. It has only been a few days, but lots of people are participating, sharing great insights and perspectives on the cards. I'm learning a lot and looking forward to learning more.”
- JP, Arizona

“If you love the Earth, the Tarot, and the Internet, then Gaian Tarot Circle can be a virtual part of your sacred tribe.”
- LM, Florida

What does it mean to be part of the Gaian Tarot Circle?

Four of Fire Every New Moon, I'll set the theme for the month by doing a video New Moon Reading with the Gaian Tarot. Then we'll discuss the theme and the reading in the forum. (Videos will be recorded and archived so you can watch at any time.)

Every month around the Full Moon, there will be a live call with me (one hour). This might be a Q&A or I might have specific topics. Again, we'll follow up with discussion in the forum. (Calls will be recorded and archived so you can listen at any time.)

I'll send you a weekly email with suggestions for seasonal activities to connect with Mama Gaia and other inspirational thoughts and tips.

We'll study one Gaian Tarot card in depth once or twice a month. I'll open the discussion with a video or audio talking about the card. (Yup, these will be archived too.) There will be weekly exercises; I'll post a PDF worksheet for each week. And — you guessed it — discussion in the forum.

Any member can start a thread in the forum on any topic relating to the Gaian Tarot or earth-centered spirituality. I'll be a regular visitor to the forum. I envision topics like these:

Post readings you did for yourself, to bounce it off other people and get added insight'
A "practice reading room" where you can exchange readings with other folks
Share new spreads and techniques
Nature awareness activities that bring you closer to Mama Gaia
Reading professionally; where pro readers (or those who would like to go pro) can share ideas and experiences
Magical/ritual use of the cards
Seasonal altars
Journal writing on specific cards
Living green
Stepping into your heart work, making your dreams come true
Conscious entrepreneurship, right livelihood, manifesting your creative vision
Whatever else you come up with!

Eight of Air Membership Bonuses:

Guest teachers on a live or recorded call
Discounted prices on classes, events and other goodies
Techno-oracle with the entire deck (an expanded version of the Majors-only oracle found here). This feature will appear later this year; we're still working on it!
Jpegs of the cards that you can insert into email readings that you do for clients or friends. (coming soon)
Giveaways (like graphics, computer wallpaper etc)
Surprises! (whatever new stuff I come up with)

I expect the content and features of the Gaian Tarot Circle to evolve over time, especially in response to the needs of the members (that's you!).

Does it seem like too much?

This circle is not about adding more to your plate; it's about providing a structure so that you can create more "me time" in your life, for the things that nurture your spirit and your heart. The videos and live calls are recorded and archived. You can download them to view or listen at any time.

You can participate as much or as little as you want to, and you can leave the circle at any time. When you want to come back, we'll be here.

“I am really enjoying The Gaian Tarot Circle so far. So grateful that in this digital age, I can learn a deck from the artist/author who created it. Blessed Be!” - AT, Colorado

“You asked on the call today how the Circle is going. I am just loving it. Everyone has been so warm and giving. Thank you so much for doing this.” - DS, Michigan

“I’m learning so much from the cards and the community — I can't really separate the two.” - JM, Arizona

How is the Gaian Tarot Circle different from other online Tarot communities?

Six of Water

It's focused on two main themes:

Learning to use the Gaian Tarot as a tool for spiritual practice, self-development and personal insight, as well as learning to read the cards for others.
Deepening our relationship with Mama Gaia.

Or, as the subtitle of the book says: "Healing Ourselves, Healing the Earth."

I am Priestess of the Circle, guiding and teaching and being present. There are other wonderful Tarot communities out there, and some of them are discussing the Gaian Tarot. But I'm not able to visit those communities very often because of limitations with my time.
I am making a commitment to creating safe, sacred space, free of negativity and judgment. This will be a place where you can come and be yourself, and be supported for who you are and the gifts you have to give the world. Your wisdom will be appreciated by us all.

I'm conscious of your pocketbook and I really want to make the Gaian Tarot Circle accessible to anyone who truly wishes to immerse themselves and participate fully. So I've set the price for all this Gaian goodness at $19/month, a price that won't break the budget of most folks who want to participate.

Yes, Joanna! I want to be a Member of the Gaian Tarot Circle!

Someone said recently that she didn't consider me to be the final authority on my own deck, and I had to agree. Even though I created the deck with certain ideas in mind, it is now taking on a life of its own, like a child who is sent out into the world. The Gaian Tarot Circle will be a place where we all can contribute to the constantly shifting, ever-changing, protean yumminess known as the Gaian Tarot. Hopefully, together we will create something much bigger than any of us ever could on our own.

One of my greatest pleasures is hearing about the insights and interpretations that people like you have about these cards. I can't wait to hear more.

Meet you in the circle!

Blessings of the Sea, the Sun, & the Cedar trees,

Joanna
