—Hear THE WHISPERS OF YOUR HEART, USING TAROT—
You are tarot curious and want to feel more confident about reading tarot for yourself—whether as an absolute beginner or as a more experienced tarot reader.
Each month I open my private studio in Basel to 5 tarot curious people. I introduce a specific topic or theme and then we deep dive into practicing, sharing, and learning from each other.
I do not believe that tarot is magic.
Tarot is 78 pieces of paper with pretty pictures. And also, I see time and time again, those 78 pretty pictures are powerful and helpful portals into your own inner knowing.
Tarot can help you find your way through the jungle of life.
Tarot can help you access your gentle courage.
Tarot can help you create a more better world.
WHAT WE DO-ish
This is not about learning cookie-cutter meanings from the book. This is also not about never opening “the book”. We use both intuition and intellect. We reference ourself and others.
The basis of my teachings are that each participant finds their way with tarot, not simply follow mine.
One of the beautiful things that happens in every Expedition is that we all learn from each other. We learn from the freshness of the beginners’ mind, as well as from the textured experience of the more practiced among us.
My focus is to practice and learn tarot so we can be more confident in reading for ourselves.
I also aim to create a space where we can step away from the dominant culture of separation and connect with ourselves and each other.
Gathering in community is a gentle and powerful act of courage. Connecting—both with each other and ourselves breaks the foundations of separation that a culture of control is built and relies on.
But, to be honest, another reason: it’s simply fun.
WHO WE ARE
This is a small group of tarot curious people from various cultures, languages, and tarot experience levels from absolute beginners to more experienced. Different people gather each month depending on the topic at hand. English is our common language.
WHERE WE MEET
We meet in my private studio at Schanzenstrasse 13, near the Johanniterbrücke. Nearby public transportation stops: Tram 11, 15, 16; Bus 30, 33, 36, 38, 603, 604.

I’M CHRISTINE, YOUR TAROT EXPEDITION GUIDE
More than anything I seek freedom from who I was told to be so I can be who I am, right where I live.
I have a degree in Social Work with an emphasis in Psychology, am certified by the International Coaching Federation as an Intuition Coach. I’ve been leading workshops for over 12 years.
My first card deck was the Archetypes deck by Caroline Myss. I now have a collection of 50+ oracle and tarot card decks but it was the psychology of the tarot, the archetypes, that first drew me in.
I began learning tarot in 2014 during a particularly difficult period in my life when I had moved back to Switzerland from Qatar and was navigating a new country in a foreign language while solo parenting my pre-teen and teen daughters and maintaining a long-distance relationship with my husband and establishing my own business. I gotta tell you, the cards landed on my kitchen table like a long lost wise old friend that helped me to slow down and breathe.
At first tarot seemed too complicated so I let a friend do the tarot readings while on my own I stuck to using oracle cards. But my friend gave me a Rider Waite Smith tarot deck and I quickly realized I had been fooled by everybody else’s idea of what tarot is (including my friend’s). Which is why these Tarot Expeditions are designed for you to find your own way with tarot.
Trust your readings. Trust yourself.
confidently read tarot for yourself on your own at home.
