Tarots con Marianne Costa
Il Tarocco, un maestro da Vivere
Tarocchi e albero genealogico: la forza delle allegorie al servizio del lignaggio.
I tarocchi, frutto della saggezza rinascimentale e dell'esoterismo cristiano, rappresentano un modello del posto dell'uomo nell'universo. Questo modello descrive sia le condizioni concrete dell'esistenza, che la salute psichica (o forza d'animo) e l'ordine del cosmo.
Nell'epoca attuale in cui lo studio transgenerazionale รจ alla moda, dobbiamo interrogarci sulla nozione di stirpe o lignaggio, senza la quale non cโe nessuna esistenza possibile.
I tarocchi ci offrono sia la struttura che ci permette di pensare l'albero genealogico in tutti i suoi aspetti (lavoro individuale sui nostri quattro "centri", riflessione sull'educazione, la coppia e la famiglia, nozione di processi fluidi o stagnanti, ecc) e, con gli arcani maggiori, uno specchio allegorico che ci porta dalla situazione di eredi impotenti a quella di individui sovrani e autonomi, il cui destino individuale ridefinisce il senso dell'intera stirpe.
Il corso sarร tenuto in Italiano.
LโInsegnante
Marianne Costa ha conseguito un master in Letteratura comparata ed รจ diventata un'esperta di fama mondiale della storia, della simbologia e della pratica dei Tarocchi. Insieme ad Alejandro Jodorowsky รจ autrice del best seller The Way of Tarot (Albin Michel, 2004 per l'originale in francese, Inner Traditions, 2006 per l'edizione statunitense). Ha pubblicato diversi libri tradotti in varie lingue e, piรน recentemente, un altro saggio sulla storia, il simbolismo e l'iconografia dei Tarocchi "Le Tarot pas ร pas" (giร disponibile in francese, spagnolo e italiano). La sua carriera polifacetica comprende l'attivitร di attrice e cantante professionista, la scrittura e la traduzione di poesie, romanzi e saggi, e l'insegnamento a gruppi di tutto il mondo dei Tarocchi e di quelle che oggi chiama "finzioni di guarigione", una tecnica originale che unisce e supera terapia, autosviluppo ed espressione artistica. La sua base รจ a Parigi e nell'ultimo decennio รจ stata un'appassionata ballerina e cantante di tango.

Abundance 5Rhythmsยฎ Practice with Joanna Hussakowska
About the course
I call abundance a sense of fulfilment that flows from within us and is strongly connected to the flow of life energy.
When it moves fairly freely, we are able to see all the treasures we have been blessed with and possess/health, relationships, friendships, memories.../.
If this is not the case, putting the body in motion, allows us to unblock it and feel in harmony with ourselves and the universe.
Isn't the universe a cup of abundance ????
The movement offered by the 5Rhythmsยฎ practice - dancing Wave after Wave, discovering the qualities of the rhythms that create it: Flowing Staccato Chaos Lyrical Stillness ยฎ, encourages a shift in perspective from external values to a sense of fulfilment that comes from within.
And that's what we'll be focusing on- trusting the process of life is a key part of experiencing abundance.
The title of the workshop is always an opportunity to raise questions about the topic, and what I'm writing is not a thesis, just a call out.
So, if any of this chimes to you, I cordially invite you to Tuscany.
We will be practicing the 5Rhythmsยฎ alone, with a partner and in a group, in the beautiful little church that belongs to Podere Fiorli and outside dancing with the wind, in the woods and in the meadow, because the beauty and abundance of our planet, can be a great inspiration to change the perspective of seeing abundance in our lives.
