Donation Based Tarot Healing
“The subject of the dream is the dreamer”
– Toni Morrison
Sufism holds that you are intrinsically divine, and that you are the answers to your life’s journey. Through the sufi lifeway and method of esgh/union/love, through our holy energies, we travel through guided tarot sessions together. We move through the stages and ages of you.
​
​
My Readings
My goal in reading tarot is to help you feel yourself, your purpose, your bliss, your rightful rage, your creative belongings, your mystical callings, and your self-acceptance. Tarot can help guide through difficult situations or also be a way to divine our directionality. We open up to the mystical, the true, and the unseen. We identify material and spiritual patterns and learn how to discern ourselves in the mist.
​
Single Sessions
​
I offer written, recorded, zoom/facetime, or in person readings for single sessions. Each reading takes about an hour. If you'd like a longer reading, please indicate that when you book.
Correspondence Readings: I usually spend about 30 minutes on a recording or written reading. You can choose which format suits you best from my services list below. Expect up to 20 minutes recorded (either video or audio) or one page written, with or without photos of your cards (your choice). Each written or recorded reading allows the option to follow up with me at no extra cost if you need to work through what came up for you or ask some questions. You can follow up via email, audio recording, phone call, or video call. Expect about 30 minutes for a follow up. To maintain your privacy I will delete your readings after our session.
​
Video call readings: We would schedule a reading through google meet and zoom and spend about an hour together in a session. You are welcome to record the session if needed.
​
In Person Readings: I am located in Providence, RI. I have worked from my own home and also travel to others' homes for readings. I have also done readings in public parks and other public spaces. When you schedule a reading, please indicate which options you'd prefer. At the moment I do not have the ability to travel outside of Providence to do readings, but if you have a creative idea be in touch.

Ongoing Sessions
​
At this time I am open to working with longer term clients. This could be to help receive guidance through a particular experience, like a break up, a coming out experience, or life purpose decisions. Or you could have a more open ended longer term journey, where we start together and you guide the changes and transformations as we go.
​
Monthly sessions would be once a month, for 3-9 months (your choice). Because tarot is an energetic relationship and can herald long term changes in your life, we would then take a significant break of at least 6 -12 months before returning to work (if you need to return). This is to allow the medicine to unfold in/as your life and open up space for change, digestion, rebirth, and integration. We will prepare together for the break however you feel is best and most supportive for you (prompts for self care and reflections, teaching you to read tarot for yourself, goals for yourself and relationships, making a list of books to read, outlining a creative project, etc).
​
Bi weekly sessions would be once every two weeks for 2-6 months. Again, to allow the medicine to properly settle and transform and for the insights to gestate and changes to emerge, we would then take a significant break from working with tarot together (at least 9-12 months). Before we stop our work together we will make a plan to support you moving into self-healing (prompts for self care and reflections, teaching you to read tarot for yourself, goals for yourself and relationships, making a list of books to read, outlining a creative project, etc).
​
Pricing:
​
My sessions are donation based to be able to keep my sessions accessible to all. You are welcome to pay the amount that is right for you when you book a session, from $1to $1,000,000. I accept payment through venmo, cashapp, checks (in person only), and cash (in person only). If none of these work for you, please be in touch.
I consider this to be an ordained and spiritual vocation. This is my lifeway and calling. By donating you are not only helping to support my vocation as a healer and a sufi dancer, but you also are helping me to be able to continue to offer my services to others, including for free if needed for those in dire circumstances.
For those who cannot afford to pay anything at all, I offer one free session. Finances should not be a barrier to healing support during a time of need. Everyone deserves well being and love.
About Assad
I have been working with tarot for 16 years. During that time I also have practiced decolonial trauma work and sufi dance, receiving guidance from travel, study, university education, lifeway work, diaspora work, and spiritual communion. See my about me for more or to get in touch.
​
What Will We Talk About?
​
We start wherever you are, wherever you need. Jobs, relationship bliss/drama/trauma, sexual joys and frustrations, dream interpretations, spiritual or religious questionings, processing psychosis or psychotic breakdowns, creative blockages, even the most mundane doorway of daily life stress, like "why haven't I been eating and sleeping well?" No topic is off limits, too boring, or taboo. ​
What kind of space will we create in a session?
​
In our sessions we create a space of privacy and sanctity without judgement. We welcome all people, all abilities, all sizes, all identities, all religions, all spiritual orientations lifeways, and all gender/sexual orientations. We stand against bigotry, and also give ourselves room to openly work through our prejudices and internalized -isms with compassion. We welcome our mistakes and our failures as teaching tools. We speak our truths.
I am intersex and autistic, and understand the need for acceptance, personal autonomy, and care in a therapeutic setting. I work hard to provide accommodating and welcoming sessions to anyone and everyone. I approach healing with the knowledge that you are already whole, good, skilled, and worthy. I also approach medicine from an anti colonial understanding -- that spirit is all, medicine is sacred, and medicine is more than pharmaceuticals and patching people up. We approach our work with respect and love.
Reviews
“Lionhearted Assad! Scholar, healer, dancer. Decolonized tarot healing for the people. Assad Assad’s readings are trauma-informed, queer-affirming, and profound. His interpretations of the cards enable me to:
​
-
hold space for my wounded child/ancestral trauma
-
identify patterns of abundance + scarcity
-
Embrace new ways of being that focus on healing my relationships with sexuality, productivity, and spirituality
I cannot recommend Assad’s readings enough, he offers a deeply intimate and loving exploration of inner-self that embodies the concept of decolonized, theraputic community care.”
