• How can symbols help reframe our perspective on change?

### 3. Exploring Upright and Reversed Meanings

• Discussion: Each group examines a set of questions:

4. Interactive Reading Exercise

• Practical Exercise:
• Participants pair up and practice giving and receiving a mini-reading with the focus on the Death card.

### 6. Application & Integration

• How can the themes of the Death card apply to daily decision-making and personal growth?
