New to The Readers Studio?

We're so glad you're here! Don't miss this special message, just for you…

Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Ruth Ann and Wald Amberstone, founders of The Tarot School, and we welcome you to the Readers Studio with open arms. The Readers Studio is our gift to the tarot community we cherish and adore. It was our dream to create an environment that would foster learning and encourage community for the rapidly growing Art of Tarot. Our dream became reality with The Readers Studio.

We understand your love of tarot, divination and self-transformation. You thirst for tarot classes and experience. We know online tarot study is no substitute for hands-on learning, side-by-side with passionate, professional readers. This is exactly why we created The Readers Studio for you.

We know you long to meet the authors and artists you've either just discovered or cherished for years. We know you want to reach out and meet other tarot readers. We know you want to share your ideas and passion with like-minded people.

You demand and expect value. That is why your three-day tarot immersion includes three tarot master classes and loads of extra goodies. You'll learn cutting-edge practical reading techniques and experience hands-on sessions. What's best, you don't have to pick and choose between main sessions. Our community, teachers and students learn together as equals.

You will have fun, delight in conversation and enjoy delicious food. This is why we've included a sumptuous Saturday Night Banquet. Feel free to attend dressed as your favorite tarot character, Goddess, King, Queen or card.

It can be intimidating to walk into a large conference for the first time, so we make every effort to offer you comfort and make you welcome. Our Tarot Ambassadors, easily identified, are there to answer any questions you may have and happily show you the ropes.

Attendees walk away from The Readers Studio with an experience that alters their lives for the better. We understand tarotists reach beyond “normal” everyday reality, seek higher wisdom and understand the meaning and value of sacred space.

You don't have to wait for April to feel the difference Readers Studio will make in your life. As soon as you register, you've made a solid commitment to your tarot practice. The power, energy, and light of our beloved community ignites in you at that moment.

We're very happy that we are able to offer you this incredible tarot experience. Our extraordinary event has been growing steadily as more and more tarotists hear of it. Although there's plenty of room at The Readers Studio, seats are limited, so register early. We look forward to welcoming you in person.

“I signed up for The Readers Studio thinking it would be fun. I never thought it would change my life.” — Kimberly Colley, KY

“I am a fairly strong reader but what I learned was awesome, and created a huge growth arc for me.” — Rowan TwoSisters, TX

I can't wait to experience my first Readers Studio! Register me now!

Coming back?

We can't wait to see you again! We have a special message for you, too…

How can we express our excitement at the prospect of your return? How can we thank you enough for making past Readers Studios so marvelous? By offering an opportunity for you to return again. We organize the event, but it is your unique sparkle that we count on. You bring your original flavor, thoughts and creativity to share.

Community is what makes Readers Studio so special and we can't wait to see you again. It is the familiar faces, the welcoming words, and the sense of belonging that occurs when so many people who share the same passion come together. We know you are excited to reconnect with old friends and welcome new ones.

The Readers Studio is growing in size and people from around the globe will fly in. This is your chance to reconnect, not over the computer, but face to face. As you well remember, it is tableside conversation, silly moments and late night tarot talk that makes our event so special.

We know the Readers Studio is the greatest gift you can offer your tarot practice. You can't put a price on a three-day immersion in an art form you love. Luckily, we've been able to keep our prices low.

We like to think of Readers Studio as a Tarot Spa. Your higher self is massaged by hours of tarot study and conversation while your physical body is treated to the fact that all outside responsibilities drop away the moment you enter Readers Studio sacred space.

Your feedback is important to us! Year after year we listen to your comments and make every attempt to integrate the positive changes that make every Readers Studio an event to remember.

We know that with each Readers Studio you bring your tarot practice to a new level. You change the world, one reading at a time.

Ever notice when you return home from Readers Studio your house looks different? This is because Readers Studio changes you on an internal level. Your home hasn't changed. You have!

We can't wait to see you beautiful face again.

Welcome home.

“As a Tarot reader and teacher, The Readers Studio is the linchpin in my annual professional development. Every time I return I renew old and make new tarot friendships. The wonderfully diverse, open and friendly ambiance of the RS inspires me to refresh my tarot chops and seek new levels of proficiency in my practice. The novel insights and significant cues I learn from the keynote presenters, workshops and the other top notch participants, gives me new ways to strengthen my reading skills. If you're new to tarot reading, there is no better place to become integrated into the greater tarot reading community. If you're an experienced reader, then the RS experience challenges us to try to read with ever fresh eyes.” — Paul Nagy, NC

“It was intense, loving, joyful and very much between the worlds. The validation that yes, I am as strong a reader as I thought; yes, that thought, vision, sound is real and I am connecting to something larger and yes, there are others just like me.” — Ellen-Mary O'Brien, NY

“As The Readers Studio gets bigger and bigger, it still somehow remains exquisite and deeply intimate. This is truly Big Magic. May it ripple out into the world in waves of illumination and love.” — Beth Owl's Daughter, NC

I made up my mind ages ago. Sign me up now!

The gourmet luncheon buffet was such a big hit at the 2010 Readers Studio that we're bringing it back! With delicious and healthy choices for everyone from carnivores to vegans, you'll be able to enjoy lunch with the entire Readers Studio community — on us!

The Friday luncheon will also feature a brief Welcome Ceremony for Readers Studio first-timers, led by Tarot School co-founder, Lelia Dickenson.

Included in your registration is your ticket to a sumptuous sit-down banquet on Saturday night. The meal is entirely table service — no waiting in line. So you can sit back, relax, and focus on what you came for: spending quality time with your friends.

Dressing in your “tarot finest” for the banquet is entirely optional — you're welcome to wear whatever makes you comfortable. That said, if you'd like to dress up for this special occasion, we highly encourage it!

We have a special surprise in store, too — and we promise you won't want to miss it!

If you answer YES! to any of the statements below, The Readers Studio is perfect for you:

You are intuitive, artistic and sensitive.

Tarot decks and candle-lit tables thrill you.

The idea of a tarot slumber party gets you really, really excited.

You have a special affinity for the worlds of Pentacles, Swords, Cups and Wands.

You're in your element shopping for sensual tarot candles, browsing through new tarot books and are always on the lookout for more jewelry.

You actively seek out tarot communities and like-minded people.

You love the immediate intimacy of tarot reading.

You seek higher knowledge and enjoy walking between worlds.

To tend to describe yourself or people like this: “I'm being such a Queen of Cups right now! He is such a Knight of Wands!”

You'd like to get away for three days of non-stop tarot fun.

We are making a little joke here but the truth is you really can't put a price on the experience you walk away with from The Readers Studio.

“The Readers Studio is the highlight of my professional and personal year. I look forward to it with a joy impossible to describe. My outside world slips away as I immerse myself into the mysterious and exciting world of Tarot and the brilliant people who populate it. Thank you Readers Studio!” — Sasha Graham, NY

“Thank you for an amazing experience at the RS10. I learned so many cool and interesting techniques that I'm immediately adding to my tarot reading toolbox. I feel blessed to be a part of the grand connection of readers everywhere.” — Mimi Mateos, KS

I can't wait to be a part of it — I want to register now!
