In-Depth Tarot: A Spiritual Journey to Personal Growth
With Sally Dubats
In this 9-week course you will learn to read the Tarot though your own intuition, and learn how to read the images as stories as you go deeply into the creative realm.
At the core of the In-Depth Tarot course, you will discover a new way of looking at the cards as a whole, learning vital relationships between the cards. This course is not about memorizing individual cards; the cards are a system. Once you learn the system, which is simple, you can read any card. In-Depth Tarot teaches you about the entire forest, not just one squirrel.
This method makes reading the Tarot accessible to everyone. The Tarot was created prior to the mass dissemination of literature, and people were more accustomed to seeing stories and symbols in the cards. Today you can learn from your ancestors, while removing the superstition, and use the archetypes and symbols to access the creative part of your brain – and that’s the part that “reads” any and every card like a genius.
Each week you will study a facet of the Tarot that brings a new and deeper understanding to the cards. This course work is for beginners as well as students with a long background of study. This course is not about memorizing a single card, and those who have studied the cards for years have remarked that they finally understand the cards without the use of reference materials. The cards come to you.
You will begin each week with a short grounding meditation to help you focus and become present. You will then study a new aspect for reading and interpreting the cards which will alternately incorporate journaling, meditation, visualization, story boarding, or oracle work. You will also learn numerology, information about the Hero’s Journey, and Jungian studies to incorporate into your readings. We’ll even do a fun, sensual (non-sexual) exercise with roots in Tantric philosophies designed to help you tune in to your body’s natural signals to hone your intuition.
Each week you will have reading practice, sometimes reading for yourself, and more frequently with other students to integrate each new technique.
And at the very core of this work is understanding the cards as Families, nine groups of cards based on numerology that tell a complete story of sisters, brothers, ancestors, and your Self, in the form of your Soul Card – a card unique to you based on your date of birth.
Homework is minimal, and simply consists of pulling a card a day for yourself using the newest weekly technique, building on previous weeks, and noticing your world through the eyes of the Tarot as you go about your days.
This. Is. So. Much. FUN! You will learn:
- Major and Minor Arcana
- The Elements
- The Court Cards
- Numerology
- Tarot Symbology
- The Hero’s Journey
- Demystifying the “Shadow Cards”
- Intuition exercises
- Advanced Practices
You will also have weekly interactive reading practice and learn to use advanced skills by the end of the course.
Many, not all, are able to confidently read professionally upon completion of this course; this is especially true if you have some prior love of or history with the cards.

The course is recorded, so if you must miss a class, you will receive weekly recordings and handouts, and Sally is available for any questions.
Tuition: This course is offered on a sliding scale basis with 3 tuition choices. The course and online materials are the same regardless of tuition. The sliding scale is offered to make it more accessible. Please support the instructor with the level in alignment with your income. The choices are $195, $235, and $325. You will see the tuition choices when you click to register. If you require a payment plan, contact Sally privately at sally@sallydubats.com.
You will need: A Tarot deck; the classic Rider-Waite is best. If you have a preferred deck, feel free to bring it; preferably along with the classic to learn two systems. You can collect your materials online, or print the materials as you receive them weekly. I recommend a 3-ring binder and paper for journaling. Please also collect the birth dates of a few friends/family.
Please contact Sally at sally@sallydubats.com if you have questions – especially regarding selecting a Tarot deck if you need assistance.

This is a fantastic class – Sally is a wonderful teacher! – Maria
I have tried other Tarot classes and came away trying to remember cards. This class was SO different. I came away really seeing the cards and understanding them from a metaphysical standpoint – from many dimensions! If you want to learn the Tarot, take Sally’s class! Tori H.
I’m really getting a lot out of the class and I am thankful that I found Sally! I went to the coast last weekend and did readings. There were tears. It was awesome. Sally really made me trust my intuition when reading instead of looking everything up and trying to make it “perfect”. Bradley S.
You’ll definitely want to take the journey she unfolds for you! ~ J.D.
