Fool’s Journey is a magical annual retreat at Four Springs Retreat Center. Each year we gather to focus on one of the major arcana of the Tarot. The major arcana begins with the Fool card and we, as Fools, approach each new card on our tarot journey with open minds and hearts. It is a 3 night retreat with days full of offerings, a divination tea party, spa magic around the pool, and art. Everything is optional! Come and engage in all of it or just do your own thing. It’s a restorative, a place to restore in body, mind, and spirit as we learn from the card of the year. As a fool’s journey, we always welcome and celebrate those new to the tarot. This year we come to the 14th card (The Fool is number 0), Death, numbered 13.

Death is a powerful card, often misunderstood as portending or symbolizing physical death and dying. However, the meaning of the Death card is much more complex. It often signifies a positive and potent transformation signaling that one major phase in life is ending and a new one is about to start. The death card can encourage us to close a door and allow a new one to open. The past needs to be placed behind and it’s time to step into a new day. It is a card of transformation and also initiation.

Each participant can expect to have their own personal encounter with this card. Some of us may be grieving the loss of loved ones, some may be gathering strength to let go of something that has been hung on to, some may be celebrating a new phase of life. We also will be mindful that this card comes to us in an election year, when a lot is on the line. What are we wanting to let go of? What do we fear letting go? As we work with this card, we will be also exploring resilience and what tools are required when we go through major transitions and transformations.
