Writing with the Tarot

Join us for a unique creative writing workshop engaging with the symbols and stories of the Tarot. In this session, we will draw 1-3 cards from either the major or minor arcana, and use these as a prompt for some creative writing. No tarot experience required, we want to open up the tarot to be a tool not just to engage with intuitively for divination but creatively as well.

Reading tarot itself is based in how we tell the stories of our lives, it’s a means to provide perspective and re-write our stories - as the world around us changes in ways we find ourselves feeling powerless to fight, it becomes especially important to facilitate the imagining of radical new worlds, weaving hope into our stories, and springing us to action. Although our most common decks are situated in a specific time and part of the world, the Tarot aims to be a map of universal symbols and experiences - we believe the best way to decolonize the Tarot is to engage and re-write its signs and symbols according to our experiences and cosmologies.

Whether you want to intuitively engage with the Tarot, or just want some interesting prompts for your writing practice, this space is for you!
