What we’re about
The ABQ Tarot Tribe turned 17 years old in 2026 and has been growing steadily in membership. Inspired by Carrie Paris (www.carrieparis.com) who created the original Santa Fe Tarot Tribe Meetup Group, and birthed here in Albuquerque in 2009 by Margaret Letzkus and Robert Hahn, since 2013 our Tribe has been under the guidance of Cheryl Ryder. Thanks to all of our members, friends, and sponsors for their loyal support.
Each year we look forward to creating new programs as we delve deeper into our studies of the tarot with all of its mystery and wisdom. Please join us for the explorations of this ancient and sacred divination craft for enlightenment. Membership is free; we only ask reasonable donations for attendance at events in order to cover operational costs.
We promise to continue bringing quality presentations to further our collective knowledge of ourselves and the universe of consciousness.
Namaste, Cheryl Ryder, Organizer

### 🌟 Moderator’s Role and Circle Agreements
The Tarot Café is a shared learning space where curiosity, respect, and inclusion guide our conversations.
As Moderator, my role is to:
• Keep our circle balanced and on topic.
• Support every voice in being heard.
• Protect the atmosphere of psychological and spiritual safety that lets discovery happen. These agreements aren’t restrictions on expression — they’re the foundation that allows open, meaningful exchange for everyone.
***
### 🪄 Participation Agreements
1. Shared Purpose
We gather to explore tarot in a respectful, inclusive space that supports both reflection and learning.
Curiosity and consideration are our common language.
2. Balancing Time and Voices
Every voice matters — balance keeps our conversation flowing.
Each participant has space to speak without interruption. Once someone has shared, the Moderator will invite others to contribute so everyone is heard.
The Moderator may gently manage airtime using time cues or “raise hand” mode.
3. Stay on Topic
Keep discussions connected to tarot, symbolism, and meaning-making.
If conversation drifts, the Moderator will kindly guide it back so everyone remains engaged.
4. Respectful Expression
Speak to share, not to persuade or critique — our focus is tarot and its related philosophies and systems.
All respectful paths, identities, and viewpoints are welcome here.
5. Active Listening
Be fully present when others speak.
Silence is part of good conversation; let reflection breathe before responding.
6. Confidentiality
What’s shared in the Café stays in the Café, including chat messages and screenshots.
No retelling or quoting others outside the group without consent.
7. Safety
While discomfort can arise in learning and dialogue, disrespect is never permitted.
If behavior disrupts the safety or flow of the group, the Moderator may mute or remove a participant—always respectfully and without public shaming.
8. Energy Awareness
Balance creates our magic. Take a moment to center before joining.
If you arrive late, enter quietly and wait to be acknowledged.
Extroverts — allow space for reflection.
Introverts — your voice adds depth; share when you’re ready.
9. Sun and Moon
Each Café begins with brief introductions and intention-setting, and ends in gratitude—for the cards, the circle, and the wisdom shared.

### 🕊 Closing Note
Our circle thrives when we honor both freedom of expression and social harmony.
Together, we make the Tarot Café a place where insight, laughter, and kindness coexist.

•HybridThe Flavors of Intuition: Discover Your Intuitive Style Through Tarot
Peace Love Space (formerly NM Dance Academy), 10410 Comanche Rd NE,, Albuquerque, NM, USThe nature of intuition has mystified humans for as long as we’ve been able to ask, “How do I know what I know?” Tarot readers, mystics, psychologists, and neuroscientists have all explored the mystery of intuitive knowing throughout the ages.
At our upcoming workshop, The Flavors of Intuition, we will explore our personal style of intuitive awareness through cards, discussion, and a little writing.
You’ll discover how your intuition actually works — not in theory, but in practice, through your own lived experience.
This workshop introduces a gentle and eye-opening framework for understanding intuition through our unique awareness systems and intuitive styles.
You’ll learn how your intuition naturally moves, how to recognize it, and how to use it with confidence in your tarot readings.
I hope you'll come join us for this enjoyable and insightful journey into the architecture of your intuitive mind.
