Writing with Tarot and Oracle Cards: Writing Workshop at Petals & Pages

In this playful, generative space, writers of all genres will use archetypes and imagery to inspire our stories, essays, poems, and journaling. Using divination and writing prompts, we will clarify and develop our narrative elements including themes, imagery, characters, plots, and setting 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. We will cover some traditional spreads adapted for writing and participants will receive guidance on customizing spreads. 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.

When: Sunday, September 15th 3-5pm

Where: Petals & Pages, 956 Santa Fe Drive Denver, CO 80204
