Hello friends!

Things have been a little quiet on The Reluctant Gurus front lately. Life has taken us to different countries, and with that, a shift in how we share our work. But while we’re not currently creating together, we’re both still on our own beautiful paths, and we’d love for you to stay connected with us individually!

✨ Áine Maire is sharing regular meditations and yoga videos over on YouTube — perfect for finding a moment of calm and connection. You can follow her here: https://www.youtube.com//videos

🎨 Shannon is still based in Ireland, running creativity-for-wellness workshops and courses. She also sends out a monthly newsletter full of inspiration, and hosts a free online workshop every New Moon. You can find all the details and sign up here: https://www.themeditativecreative.art/contact

Thanks so much for being part of our journey — wherever it leads next, we’re so grateful for your support 💛

What do you do when you are looking for spiritual guidance, wisdom or inspiration? One of my favourite forms of wisdom and inspiration is in the tarot cards. This is my favourite set, The Wild Unknown by Kim Krans. Not only are the pictures so beautiful and inspiring as a fellow artist but using the cards to piece together messages and meanings is a very creative act that puts me in a state of relaxation, contemplation, connection and flow.

Today I am doing a health tarot card reading. I’ve been recovering from concussion the last few weeks which suddenly got worse the other day, and so I decided to consult the cards today to see what wisdom they had to share about my healing journey and what inspiration they had for me in terms of activities or things that would help.

And what a beautiful earthy message I received. I drew so many pentacles today it really is telling me to get out in nature as a form of healing and to be still and connected to the world and all things, and to look to my art as a way to heal.

What messages can you see in the cards I drew?
