Tarot Cafe' - A Virtual Space for Tarot Themed Conversations

Welcome to the Tarot Café

This (generally weekly) Sunday gathering is for tarot enthusiasts, readers, and curious seekers. While the conversations freely flow from subject to subject as it arises, it is moderated for time and subject-appropriateness and such that everyone who wants to share has an opportunity. Each week we share reflections, resources, insights, and discuss symbolism from the cards in a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere. You’re invited to bring your favorite deck, book, latest "find" for show and tell, a cup of something cozy, and an open mind.

When you RSVP the active link Zoom code for our gathering will appear. Scroll down and please read the Participant Agreements below. Your RSVP assumes that you have read, understood, and agree to abide by them.

This is a free meetup, however, should spirit call you to donate something to the operations funds that pay the webite fees and Zoom fees, here are the clickable links: www.paypal.me/CherylR999 [[Venmo: @Cheryl-Ryder-10]](https://www.Venmo: @Cheryl-Ryder-10)

Thanks so much! - Cheryl Ryder, ABQ Tarot Tribe Organizer

*** ### 🌟 Moderator’s Role and Circle Agreements The Tarot Café is a shared learning space where curiosity, respect, and inclusion guide our conversations. As Moderator, my role is to: • Keep our circle balanced and on topic. • Support every voice in being heard. • Protect the atmosphere of psychological and spiritual safety that lets discovery happen. These agreements aren’t restrictions on expression — they’re the foundation that allows open, meaningful exchange for everyone. *** ### 🪄 Participation Agreements 1. Shared Purpose We gather to explore tarot in a respectful, inclusive space that supports both reflection and learning. Curiosity and consideration are our common language. 2. Balancing Time and Voices Every voice matters — balance keeps our conversation flowing. Each participant has space to speak without interruption. Once someone has shared, the Moderator will invite others to contribute so everyone is heard. The Moderator may gently manage airtime using time cues or “raise hand” mode. 3. Stay on Topic Keep discussions connected to tarot, symbolism, and meaning-making. If conversation drifts, the Moderator will kindly guide it back so everyone remains engaged. 4. Respectful Expression Speak to share, not to persuade or critique — our focus is tarot and its related philosophies and systems. All respectful paths, identities, and viewpoints are welcome here. 5. Active Listening Be fully present when others speak. Silence is part of good conversation; let reflection breathe before responding. 6. Confidentiality What’s shared in the Café stays in the Café, including chat messages and screenshots. No retelling or quoting others outside the group without consent. 7. Safety While discomfort can arise in learning and dialogue, disrespect is never permitted. If behavior disrupts the safety or flow of the group, the Moderator may mute or remove a participant—always respectfully and without public shaming. 8. Energy Awareness Balance creates our magic. Take a moment to center before joining. If you arrive late, enter quietly and wait to be acknowledged. Extroverts — allow space for reflection. Introverts — your voice adds depth; share when you’re ready. 9. Sun and Moon Each Café begins with brief introductions and intention-setting, and ends in gratitude—for the cards, the circle, and the wisdom shared. *** ### 🕊 Closing Note Our circle thrives when we honor both freedom of expression and social harmony. Together, we make the Tarot Café a place where insight, laughter, and kindness coexist. ***
