## TAROT MINOR ARCANA COURSE

In this course, we will explore the 56 Minor Arcana in depth, uncovering how they speak to the rhythms of everyday life from emotions and relationships to work, challenges, and personal growth.
We’ll approach the Minor Arcana through three core lenses:

• Numerical Value: understanding the progression from Ace to Ten as a journey, revealing cycles of initiation, development, tension, and completion
• The Four Suits : Cups, Swords, Wands, and Pentacles, each representing a different element and dimension of human experience (emotional, mental, creative, and material)
• Archetypes & Symbolism: learning to read beyond keywords and connect with the deeper patterns and stories each card expresses


We will also dive into the Court Cards, often seen as some of the most nuanced and complex figures in the deck. Through personality systems and archetypal frameworks, you’ll learn how to interpret them as:

• Different character types and psychological traits
• Energies we embody at different stages of life
• Reflections of real people and relational dynamics in readings

This course is rooted in the Marseille Tarot, known for its rich symbolic language, which encourages intuitive and interpretive reading. However, you are warmly invited to bring any deck you feel connected to - each one carries its own visual language, and sharing these perspectives will deepen the collective experience.
Whether you are new to tarot or looking to deepen your practice, this course will help you move from memorisation to intuitive understanding, building confidence in your readings and your personal connection to the cards.
FREE Tea and Homemade Biscuits will be available during the course.

Film Screening and Community Conversation with The Psychedelic Society

🎥 Reframe Reality Through a New Lense – Integrate Together 🎥
Join us for a journey into mind-expanding cinema at bi-monthly screenings. This is an opportunity to slow down explore storytelling that bends our our understanding of reality. Together we will unpack the strange, beautiful, and transgressive world of psychedelic filmmaking with like-minded souls in a relaxed and welcoming setting. Key themes we may touch on include the nature of reality, free will, the meaning of life, and the relationship between dreams and waking life.

In a world that moves fast, spending time sat in shared attention is the connection we need, to ground, recharge, and gain clarity. Come as you are: solo, with friends, or to meet new ones. This is a space for everyone.

You are welcome to bring snacks and drinks. Tea will be provided.

### GUESS THE FILM

An animated meditation on consciousness, drifting through a series of interconnected dreams. One man's attempt to discern the difference between waking life and the dream world leads to profound philosophical conversations on free will, death, identity, and the nature of reality itself. A scene where strangers interrupt the rhythm of everyday life long enough to truly see one another.

## Meeting Iboga: the world's most potent psychedelic

### How does Iboga differ from other plant medicines?

### Where does it come from?

### What are the benefits of a relationship with this plant?

There has been a lot of chatter and press about iboga, the ancient African psychedelic, in recent years. Most notably for its unique effectiveness in treating addictions to opiates and other powerful drugs by relieving physical symptoms of craving and withdrawal.
Its roots are deeply embedded in traditional Bwiti initiation ceremonies and healing rituals of Central Africa and iboga has long been revered for its profound spiritual and therapeutic properties. The word bwiti means ‘emancipation.’ It is a freedom tradition with an ancient lineage and a deep mystery school.
With anecdotal reports of profound healing experiences and promising scientific research shedding light on its potential efficacy in treating addiction, the allure of iboga on a global scale has never been stronger.

So what is this mysterious, powerful psychedelic? What are its healing potentials beyond addiction?

In this online talk, we welcome Aluba Fénix, who has been working with Iboga since 2012, was initiated into the Bwiti tradition in Gabon in 2014, and now holds ceremonies with Iboga medicine.

### In this talk, Aluba will share:

• The essence and ethos of the Bwiti tradition and the place of the iboga medicine
• The challenges and potentials of bringing iboga to the world
• Practical advice and considerations for those curious about iboga
• His personal journey to meet the medicine and how it has shaped his life ever since

### FORMAT

The talk will begin with a presentation by Aluba on the ancestry of the iboga medicine followed by a Q&A with the audience.

The Psychedelic Society is a UK-based not-for-profit worker cooperative that has been cultivating a culture of connection since 2014. At a time of acute disconnection - from ourselves, from each other, from the natural world, and from the great mystery of life - we believe psychedelics and the practices they inspire offer something essential to meaning-making. Through events, retreats, education, and community, we support people in deepening their connections to life. We hold a broad understanding of “psychedelic” - a soul-revealing experience that can come through many means - and believe that building the cultural and communal containers for these experiences is itself a form of activism. Not just for individual healing, but for the collective flourishing our world urgently needs. Find more at www.psychedelicsociety.org.uk
