A Creative Approach to Reading Tarot
Oct 16, 23, 30 & Nov 6, 10am-noon (Eastern), 2022
This course was inspired by requests for a tarot workshop by readers of my Substack newsletter, If It's Alive, Feed It, where I have been writing in response to the deck one card at a time. Drawing on my perspective as a writer and artist, I'll share how I developed my relationship to this symbol system as we explore the cards and their long, strange history. The workshop will feature lectures, Q&A sessions, and practical exercises designed to support you as you continue to build confidence and deepen your own practice working with image and story. We will meet as a group live via Zoom on four Sundays, but each class will be recorded and available to watch at your own pace. Appropriate for all skill levels and students may use whichever deck they prefer.
