Writing with Tarot and Oracle Cards - A Writing Workshop at Petals & Pages

About the workshop: In this playful generative space, writers of all genres will use archetypes and imagery to inspire our stories, essays, poems, and/or journaling. Using divination and writing prompts, we will clarify and develop our narrative elements while building confidence in our intuition and creativity. Participants will leave with a draft of 1-2 poems, scenes or journal entries and ideas for further writing. Whether you are a seasoned or beginner writer or diviner, everyone is welcome! Participants are invited to bring personal divination cards or borrow some from the instructor.
