Seminar: The Psychology of Tarot
25 October 2025 | 7:00 - 8:00pm | at the Inner Guru CIC, 3, Efik House, 81 Walton Rd
Liverpool, L4 4 AF
🌙 Tarot Beyond Fortune-Telling
Tarot cards are often linked with mysticism and prediction, but their real power lies in how they engage the human mind. In this talk, Donato will guide us through the psychology of tarot, exploring how symbolism, suggestion, and storytelling can foster self-reflection and unlock personal insight.
🧠 A Scientific Lens
By looking at tarot through psychology and cognitive science, we’ll discover how these timeless symbols act not as magical tools, but as mirrors of the mind.
👤 About the Speaker
Donato’s research spans hypnosis, altered states of consciousness, and the cultural influences that shape how we perceive them. His deep interest in tarot stems from their rich symbolism and their potential to provide insight into the way we understand ourselves.

Seminar: The Science of Illusion
18 October 2025 | 7:00 - 8:00pm | at The Inner Guru CIC, 3, Efik House, 81 Walton Rd,
Liverpool, L4 4AF
🎩 The Art of Deception
Our brains are wired to take shortcuts, making us vulnerable to misinformation. In this interactive talk, you’ll experience magic tricks and illusions first-hand: revealing just how easily perception can be bent and beliefs can be shaped.
🧠 The Psychology Behind Illusion
Through the lenses of attention, memory, and suggestion, we’ll explore how the same mechanisms that deceive us in performance are also exploited in fake news, social media, and everyday life.
🙌 An Interactive Experience
This isn’t just a talk: it’s a demonstration. By engaging directly with illusions, you’ll uncover the fascinating ways your brain constructs reality, and how awareness of these tricks can help guard against deception.
