Coming Out of the Tarot Closet With Mark Horn

Published: June 18, 2020, 5 p.m.


Meet Mark Horn



Mark and I went discussed a very personal journey that he shares with such openness and honesty. I’m grateful to share it with you. I hope you not only enjoy it but that you find yourself ready to start your own personal spiritual journey with a little help from Mark.



BTW, one of my favorite parts of talking with Mark is that he has such joy in finding answers. To every question. It’s like a mini adventure each time.

Wolfson at NYU, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi z’’l, at Elat Chayyim and with Jason Shulman in the Non-dual Kabbalistic Healing program of A Society of Souls.
