Beginning July 2026
INTUITIVE & SPIRITUAL THERAPIST DISCUSSION GROUP (DROP-IN)
An informal circle open to licensed/registered therapists in Canada, the USA, and internationally who identify as either transpersonal therapists, "witchy", spiritual, intuitive, integrative and/or holistic.
A monthly drop-in resource and psychoeducational community for integrative mental health therapists exploring transpersonal frameworks in clinical practice. No fitting into a box, just showing up with like minded folks.
THIS IS:
- A psychoeducational, drop-in community space
- A forum for discussion, reflection, and resource-sharing re: private practice
- Professional development
- Exploration of spirituality, intuition, ethics, and transpersonal approaches in therapy
- A space to share professional wins, challenges, and ideas
- A supportive environment for connection and community among licensed/registered therapists
- Each month includes a facilitator-led theme, offering a brief teaching to open exploration
Topics may include resources on integrative approaches in private practice, running a business with transpersonal frameworks such as nature-informed therapy, content from Dr. Tina Vitolo's Black Sheep Therapist book, Bill Plotkin's work, career psychology, Image-based projective work (including clinical uses of Tarot/Oracle/Art cards ), expressive arts and guided imagery, PAT, parts-based and intuitive work, active imagination, and other experiential or depth-oriented modalities.
✘ THIS IS NOT:
- Group supervision
- A space for any religious framework or dogma
- Clinical case consultation
- Psychotherapy or treatment
Confidentiality & Recording Disclosure
- Recordings are available for purchase 30 days to registered/ licensed therapists who are unable to attend live sessions. Access is restricted in order to maintain a safe, contained environment for live participation and to protect the integrity of the group space.
- Participants can submit questions in advance. These will be addressed anonymously during the recorded session as part of the educational discussion. I will do my best to respond to questions. If a question cannot be fully addressed live, I will follow up by email with brief additional resources or clarification as appropriate.
- Because sessions are recorded (and this is not supervision), confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. Participants are asked not to share identifying client information or discuss active clinical cases.
- If you are seeking clinical consultation or case-specific support, a separate 1:1 consultation container can be arranged.
WHEN?
- 3rd Friday of the month (beginning July 17th, 2026)
- 8:00 AM (PST) / 11:00 AM (EDT) / 12:00 PM (ADT)
HOW MUCH?
- Early Bird / Founding Member Rate (until July 1, 2026): $11 CAD per drop-in
- Regular (after July 1, 2026): $22 CAD per drop-in
- Recorded Sessions (available for purchase starting August 2026): $33 CAD per recording

Curious how to bring Tarot into your therapy practice in a grounded, ethical way ?
Tarot is understood here as a symbolic, intuitive, and reflective tool for self-inquiry and meaning-making. It is not used for prediction or divination.
Instead, it can support:
- Narrative exploration and storytelling
- Emotional processing and reflection
- Bridge conscious and unconscious material
- Accessing intuitive and imaginal ways of knowing
- Meaning-making
Back by popular demand, this 2.5-hour online training is open to participants worldwide.

HARVARD PRESENTATION ON TAROT
Laura’s research presentation at Harvard University in Cambridge, USA (April 2024). The publication was presented as part of Harvard Divinity School's Program for the Evolution of Spirituality conference.
Abstract: This review explores the intersection of Tarot, psycho-spirituality, and diasporic struggles. It discusses the Roma people's historical disenfranchisement, how this has impacted Tarot's modern interpretation, and how Tarot may be used as a tool for personal growth in counselling psychology and as a practice of resistance against power structures.
