This fascinating discussion with Toni Gilbert, author of Gaining Archetypal Vision, reveals how an understanding of archetypes can aid personal growth and healing. What are archetypes? How do we experience them and how can we work with them? Tarot cards are one of Toni’s main tools for exploring archetypal energies with clients, so the discussion often comes back to how the images on cards are triggers for ‘aha’ moments that lead to enlightenment and an understanding of how to move forward with an issue.

With the interview, which runs for 54 minutes, you also receive a copy of the Foreword and Chapter One of Gaining Archetypal Vision which can be purchased through Toni’s website.
