Weekly with Joe Pandolfo, certified Tai Chi & Qigong Instructor, Reiki Master, Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist and board director for the CT Society of Acupuncturists.

The world needs heroes! What courageous souls would dare to fight horrific monsters, evade traps, solve puzzles, and quest for treasure?

Join us on the third Thursday this month as we use the 22 archetypes of the Major Arcana as prompts for our creative expression!   

The Major Arcana traces the path of the Fool's journey as they encounter different aspects of Self along the way. Using a variety of visuals from different decks and bespoke writing prompts, we'll craft a container to encourage each other's creative work (sharing always optional!) and hold the journey together.

This will be a hybrid in-person/Zoom program. Call the library if you’d like the Zoom link, and we will send that out prior to meeting. Please feel free to bring any tarot decks you feel inspired by, as well as any writing or art supplies you'd like to have on hand during the program.
