Session 1: Understand the Tableau
Diving into the Tarot Tableau: Read Cohesively in Every Context
Presented by Maria Alvíz Hernando
In this session you will become acquainted with a dynamic reading style and be introduced to the Nine Card Tableau. You will be familiarized with the different interpretative layers and see examples of how to gather information from the spread. At the end of this session, you will practice with a reading for yourself.
Session 2: Adapt the Tableau
Diving into the Tarot Tableau: Read Cohesively in Every Context
Presented by Maria Alvíz Hernando
Once that you are familiar with the spread, it’s time to adapt it to your reading needs! You will learn how to glean advice and prediction from the cards, and how to adapt the layout that you know to fit the specifics of your question. You will learn the keys of timing with this reading system and practice reading for a partner.
Session 3: Extend the Tableau
Diving into the Tarot Tableau: Read Cohesively in Every Context
Presented by Maria Alvíz Hernando
Meet the Nine Card Tableau’s big sister: The 5×5 Tableau. Learn to tackle a large spread with ease and incorporate new techniques to go deeper in your interpretations and aim for longer periods of time in your readings. In this session, you will practice reading a 5×5 in groups and have the opportunity to apply what you’ve learned and ask questions.
For this session you will need a tarot deck (I advise bringing a mini-deck if you have one, so you can comfortably lay the 5×5 Tableau). You will be given a handout, but you can bring material to take notes if you wish.

Oracular Intentions Sound Bath Meditation
Presented by Jenny Stafford
This deeply relaxing and centering experience blends divination with a meditative sound journey, a unique opportunity to come together to explore and manifest clear intentions for our experience at StaarCon 2023!
The session unfolds as Jenny guides you through a simple introspective Major Arcana pull and symbol meditation technique before you surrender to invisible waves of gentle sound from Himalayan and crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other healing instruments.
*Please bring a Tarot Major Arcana deck (or alternate oracle that you are already familiar with) and, if possible, a yoga mat or beach towel and a sweater + socks or blanket to ensure maximum comfort while reclined during your sound bath experience. If you are not physically comfortable resting on the floor for the sound bath, chairs will also be available.
