No Tai Chi this week.

Join us on the fourth Thursday of the 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.

Please 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.

We meet in the JTL Community Room.

Come one, come all, to see your favorite story books come to life on the third Friday of the month at JTL with our youth performers in One Hour Production!
