Body Positive Tarot is a self-paced course created by Virgie Tovar and Helen Shewolfe Tseng, centering tarot as a tool for recovering from diet culture and deepening your relationship to your body.
In this course, we will use the narratives within tarot as healing modalities toward restoring your intuition – an integral gift of the human experience that is undercut by experiences of body shame and fatphobia. We will also provide resources for finding meaning and power through stories and archetypes, discovering your own magic, and creating community and art.
Learn your body through the tarot; learn the tarot through your body.
