Living the Tarot: 78 Days of Magic


August 16 - November 1, 2024

Lifetime access to on-demand videos and course material.

LIVE EACH CARD IN A 78-DAY MAGIC CAPSULE

There are 78 landscapes within you that long to come alive. 78 tarot card countries that are calling for your human touch. Join astrologer and tarot reader Bess Matassa for a transformational immersion in the entirety of your deck—where you’ll learn to love up on every card, all set to the rhythm of astrology.  

On each day of our mystical “retreat,” you’ll walk with the wildness of a single card. Instead of an anxious AM phone scroll or spin through your to-dos, you’ll start each day exactly as you were born to: steeped in magic, mystery, and mythos. And by nightfall, you’ll return to your inner altar having fully embodied a tarot card archetype—ready to seal your psychic convo with it through sweet devotion.

Imagine: your only mandate for 78 entire days will be MAGIC.

THROUGH THIS IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE, YOU’LL LEARN TO: 

  • Explore the cards as living landscapes where you can hope, dream, and play; instead of divination dead-ends where your “fate” is sealed 

  • Activate an embodied version of the tarot that goes beyond the mind and into the multi-sensory

  • Understand the correspondence between tarot cards and astrological symbols 

  • Use these connections to spark your own intuitive interpretations of both tarot cards and astro symbols  

  • Integrate the tarot into your astrology readings 

  • Establish your own voice as a tarot reader

  • Unleash your most magical life by embracing all 78 shades of the human experience

  • Allow yourself to decipher the messages that are all around you in every moment
