Hot Damn Workshop, April 4th, 630 pm, Unit 2, 163 Sterling Rd. Toronto, 630 to 830pm
Tarot as the Mirror
In this workshop we’ll explore the use of tarot cards for personal reflection through poetic and creative writing. The divination art of tarot has a long history and each card infinite, deep meanings; this workshop will act as a basic and general introduction to the cards and how you might intuitively interpret them. We will pull cards that reflect our past, present and (mutable) future and see how that information can be used to deepen our self-awareness and poetry/writing. No prerequisites, no rules- this workshop is open to anyone interested in developing a new tool to see themselves!
*If you have your own deck feel free to bring it*
The Event Is PWYC, please text Charlie at 647 377 1048 if you cannot find the space when you arrive, There will be signs but it might not be obvious
