Arcana 12. The Hanged Man

In each episode of Arcana, Jodie invites Soulstice team members Bea and Audree to unpack a Tarot card and see how the archetype can deepen our understanding of what it means to live, grow and change. The conversation is supported by their knowledge from lived experience, spontaneous thought and psychotherapy training.The Hanged Man is our starting point for this episode. Our in-house Tarot specialist, Bea, introduces us to this card of stillness, deep reflection and suspension. Audree notes the movement & magic that comes from being still, noticing and taking stock. Jodie resonates with the urgency to retreat from societal overstimulation and reliance on technology to keep us distracted. Tune in for chats about philosophy, soup, capitalism, defence mechanisms and the impact of smartphones. Together they wonder how being with different perspectives and vast emotions, without the need for actioning or reasoning, helps us to embrace states of being and becoming to ultimately embody The Hanged Man.
