Why "Discernment?" It's a complex, essential skill that, when understood and refined, can lead us to larger happiness and greater success. It's at play when we choose where to live, whom to associate with, what job offer to take, which shirt to wear, or whether to venture down a poorly lit street. It's an aptitude of perception and decision-making that can keep us content, safe, engaged, authentic, and fulfilled. Discernment is a navigation tool to identify what is right for and true to you.
How does SoulCollage® fit in? Discernment depends on many of our "moving parts," those we've already met within our decks, and those yet to be discovered. When discernment's in action, clarity rules - drawing from our knowledge, incoming information, emotional cues, and innate intuition. But our lives and our psyches are wrought with opportunities for confusion, obscurity, self-doubt, and second guessing. Our SoulCollage® decks offer a treasure chest from which to identify and integrate the aspects of ourselves that support Discernment, and those that hinder it.
In this 6-session journey, you'll look at old cards in new ways, make new cards, and dialogue among cards to build a scaffold of energies that support authentic assessments and sound choices. Drawing from your decks as whole, you'll explore the emotional, social, intuitive, and practical aspects of deep knowing, clear perspective, and wise determination. If you've not yet created a Discernment card, you'll certainly be inspired to do so! Reflecting on ancient wisdom, the Tarot and other sources, we'll journey through the intricate components of Discernment.
Whether your deck is or isn't organized into suits, or you are just beginning your practice - this course will be meaningful for you!

Here are some examples from my own personal deck. The first is my Sleuth (Council) who helps me dig deep to get the information I need. The second is Clueless (Committee), who has the capacity to completely miss crucial information that is staring me in the face! Last, my Discernment (Committee) card, which represents my ever-growing wisdom to discern.

I thought you did a great job of condensing a lot of complexities and ideas into an easy-to-follow course. ....Thank you, Michele, for another enriching course. Stephanie
The information was delivered in manageable, bite-sized portions so that I could take it in without feeling overwhelmed. I loved that you shared examples from your own deck. The chaos of the world right now led me to this course.... Sara
Your "Card Games" opened up a whole new level with my deck. I realized so many cards really operated as a whole. Pam
The (written) materials were so helpful. I'll be using them for a long time. Marie

Enjoy Michele's guided 6 minute audio exploration of some pathways to Discernment:
"If we could be gifted with discernment, and we could surround ourselves with loyal friends, we would have a life of great meaning: It would be constructive. It is important for us, then, to reform our mind by examining it in great detail." HH The Dalai Lama
"Discernment is the ability to grasp, comprehend, and evaluate clearly. It means we can see the true nature of things; it allows us to distinguish between what is real and what is imitation. This is one of those intangible qualities that cannot be taught, but can be developed and improved upon over time."

"Discernment is often far more accurate than either observation or measurement." Stephen Covey
