Rachel Pollack
Rachel is thrilled to travel with others to some of the most sacred places on Earth.  This is not the first time Rachel has travelled to Uluru and Kata-Tjuta.  She made her own pilgrimage there and to Alice Springs and other locations on her first visit to teach in Australia (this will be her third).  Aboriginal art is one of Rachel's lifelong passions, and was a great influence on her Shining Tribe Tarot.  She says "When we go to such places, and see, and touch, and listen, and breathe, the world, and we ourselves, come alive in a way we've never experienced."

On this journey we will bring Tarot to these places of the world's oldest living culture, using readings to explore our own inner world as we discover the mysteries of the sacred landscape.  And we will invite the power of the land and the Dreaming into the Tarot, into our own soul experiences, so that as we move through the sacred Earth our cards, like our inner spirits, become charged with power and beauty.

Click here for her personal thoughts on the Tarot in the Dreamtime and a reading about this trip which she describes as a journey of speaking, and sharing, and revelations of mystery.
