Giving readings at the ByAduska Grand Opening.
Christine Gerber Rutt
My first card deck was the Archetypes deck by Caroline Myss. I now have a collection of 50+ oracle and tarot card decks but the psychology of the tarot, the archetypes, is what first drew me in and what continues to be my primary way of entry into the images.
You can browse my Tarot & Oracle Library here.
I began learning tarot in 2014 during a particularly difficult period in my life when I had moved back to Switzerland from Qatar and was navigating a new country in a foreign language while solo parenting my pre-teen and teen daughters and maintaining a long-distance relationship with my husband and establishing my own business. I gotta tell you, the cards landed on my kitchen table like a long lost wise old friend that helped me to slow down and breathe.
Since the early 2000’s I have been gathering groups of people together over common interests. I have a Bachelor’s degree in social work with an emphasis in psychology; am an internationally certified Intuition Coach; and a writer.
I am always looking for ways to bring people in the community together, especially international people who often feel bereft of a space where they can feel like themselves around other people, a place of belonging.
Currently, in addition to the Basel Tarot Meetup, I also host Shut Up & Write Wednesday. I sporadically offer other events based on community need and my capacity. Previous events have included things like: a Pie Fezt—a summer pie potluck, The Gathering—dinner at a local restaurant, Intuition Expeditions—workshops both outdoor and indoor.
In my private practice I offer a limited number of Intuition Expeditions & Mentorships, both in person in my private studio near the Rhine in Basel, Switzerland, as well as online. This is also for anyone who would like a private card reading with me.
My hope is that you find as much solace, strength, and your own unique way in our supportive through the tarot cards.
