Tarot doesn’t have to predict your future to serve as a meaningful guide for the life you’re living now. In this immersive retreat with Lindsay Mack, you’ll explore Soul Tarot®, a soul-centered, inclusive, trauma-informed approach that moves beyond rigid card meanings and invites a more spacious way of working with the deck. Whether you’re brand-new to Tarot or have been reading for years, you’ll learn to approach the cards with curiosity, critical thinking, and care, leaving with richer understanding, stronger self-trust, and a practice you can turn to when life feels uncertain or tender.
Starting at $415 (Early Bird Tuition) + $642 (Lodging + Meals) plus tax

Deeper Self-Love
Let the cards become a compassionate mirror, helping you meet yourself with greater tenderness, honesty, and acceptance.
Spiritual Connection
Strengthen your relationship with soul, intuition, and the wisdom that emerges when you engage Tarot in the present moment.
Tarot Fluency
Develop a richer understanding of each card through Soul Tarot, moving beyond fixed, limiting, or predictive interpretations.
Personal Growth
Allow the cards to inspire meaningful reflection and new understanding of how you relate to yourself and your life.
Reader Confidence
Approach your deck with greater ease and assurance, whether reading for yourself, others, or personal exploration.
Shared Belonging
Learn alongside fellow readers in an inclusive environment where curiosity, exploration, and authentic connection are welcomed.
As your understanding of Soul Tarot unfolds, the cards can feel less like something you need to interpret “correctly” and more like a mirror you can engage with openly and thoughtfully. You may find greater ease around cards that once felt intimidating, more confidence in what you perceive, and a deeper capacity to let Tarot illuminate rather than dictate. You’ll return home spiritually nourished and more connected to your own wisdom, with a grounded relationship to the deck that feels uniquely yours.
Explore each card through Lindsay’s soul-centered, inclusive, trauma-informed, non-predictive perspective rooted in common sense and critical thinking.
Bring questions directly to Lindsay and gain clarity around the cards, readings, and nuances of the Soul Tarot approach.
Settle into present-moment awareness with practices that support clarity, self-care, and a more receptive relationship with the cards.
Work with fellow participants to apply Soul Tarot concepts, deepen your understanding, and develop greater confidence through shared experience.
Make space for personal insight, card exploration, and integration through quiet writing between sessions.
Honor the retreat rhythm with time to dream, nap, reflect, and allow what you’re learning to settle naturally.
