What Corporate Mindfulness Is Missing: Why Tarot Is the Most Powerful Self-Discovery Tool for the Workplace
Tarot is a powerful self-discovery tool for corporate mindfulness workshops
Corporate mindfulness is having a moment. From breathwork sessions in boardrooms to guided meditations between meetings, companies are beginning to understand something essential: performance without presence leads to burnout.
But after stepping into the corporate world as a tarot reader, I’ve noticed something surprising: Most corporate mindfulness events help employees relax. Very few help them remember who they are. And that is a very different thing.
Beyond Corporate Mindfulness: The Missing Piece Is Self-Discovery
Corporate mindfulness is evolving. More companies are investing in meditation sessions, wellbeing days, journaling workshops, and leadership retreats. And this shift matters deeply because burnout is real and so is disconnection.
But after entering the corporate world with my Heart Answers approach — combining guided meditation, reflective journaling, and tarot — I have noticed something important: Most corporate mindfulness events help people relax and only very few help people remember who they are. Very few corporate events help employees get clarity on what they really want and need. And that changes everything.
Relaxation is Powerful for Employees, but Clarity is Transformational

Guided meditation reduces stress & calms the mind and journaling creates emotional processing. I offer and deeply believe in all of these. In my corporate workshops, my Heart Answers Meditation technique invites participants to gently turn inward and listen, not to productivity expectations, but to the quiet voice of their own heart.
Teaching over 300+ students meditation, tarot and journaling and 150+ employees I have understood that often, what people truly need isn’t just calm. What they need is clarity. They need space to ask:
Who am I becoming?
What do I actually want?
Where am I out of alignment?
What feels alive for me now?
How can I create meaning and purpose for myself?
At the core of my work is a simple belief: People already carry their answers within them. My role is not to give advice or tell someone who they should be. My role is to create a safe, reflective space where their own clarity can surface.
When meditation and journaling are structured intentionally, they become more than wellness tools. They become self-discovery portals.
Tarot in the Workplace? Yes, and Here is Why it Works
When I say tarot in a corporate setting, people sometimes imagine something mystical, or fortune-telling. But tarot, when used intentionally, is one of the most powerful structured self-reflection tools available.
In a corporate mindfulness event, tarot becomes:
A mirror for subconscious patterns
A creative thinking catalyst
A tool for career clarity
A doorway to emotional intelligence
A structured way to access intuition
And something remarkable happens when professionals — often analytical, strategic, and high-performing — are given symbolic images instead of spreadsheets. They soften. They imagine. They remember. And
The Magic I Witness in Corporate Tarot Sessions: Meaning & Aliveness
Tarot helps employees feel connected to their work in a way that is meaningful
Now that I have reentered the corporate world as a tarot reader (and not in my former role as a Marketing Manager), I really take my role seriously. There is so much potential here. I can help people see a glimpse (or more) of what it means to dream again and feel alive and in love with what they are doing.
The Effects of Tarot in Corporate Events
In just 10–15 minutes, I have seen:
Executives admit they have been ignoring creative callings
Team members articulate strengths they never named before
Burned-out professionals reconnect with what energizes them
Individuals recognize limiting beliefs that have quietly shaped their careers
Tarot creates what many corporate wellbeing programs don’t: A moment of honest self-recognition. Not performance. Not productivity. But presence.
The Future of Corporate Wellbeing
The future of corporate mindfulness is not just about stress reduction but it is about self-awareness. It is about helping people feel connected to their work in a way that is meaningful and not just manageable.
Forward-thinking companies are beginning to understand that innovation and engagement do not come from pressure alone but they come from aligned humans.
Meditation opens the door. Journaling deepens the insight. Tarot can illuminate the unseen through symbolism, sparking creativity, imagination & most of all individual meaning.
How Tarot can be Integrated into Corporate Events
“We booked Marie for a team event and she was a wonderful addition to the experience! She was able to quickly assess the vibe and needs of the guests and respond, making the activity accessible to everyone on the team.”
Tarot can be incorporated into corporate wellbeing initiatives in a structured, professional, and highly engaging way. It can be used as a reflective tool to support clarity, self-awareness, and meaningful conversation. Not prediction or fortune-telling.
Options for integration include:
1:1 Tarot Reflection Sessions at Corporate Events
Short (5-15 minutes) & focused individual tarot sessions offered during wellbeing days, leadership offsites, or company celebrations (e.g. Christmas parties). These provide employees with a private space for guided reflection on career direction, strengths, current challenges, or personal goals.
Corporate Self-Discovery Tarot Workshops
Interactive group sessions combining guided meditation, structured journaling prompts, and facilitated tarot reflection to explore topics such as personal goals, identity, values alignment, decision-making, and long-term vision.
Team Development Tarot Experiences
Tarot used as a creative thinking and perspective-shifting tool within team workshops to encourage open dialogue, strengths recognition, and innovative problem-solving.

Integrated as a meaningful & memorable experience at company gatherings, offering employees a deeper engagement opportunity beyond traditional entertainment formats. All sessions are designed to be inclusive and accessible to participants regardless of prior experience.
