From the Fool to the World: A Writing Journey through the Major Arcana
Jan
29

From the Fool to the World: A Writing Journey through the Major Arcana

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.
