Tarot Tells the Story with Phoebe Tsang
Thursday February 02, 2023 | 7:00PM - 9:00PM
Join us at the Argo for a creative writing workshop led by Phoebe Tsang, playwright and author of "Setting Fire To Water"!
This workshop is for adventurous writers of all ages looking for a writing tool to enhance creativity, overcome writer’s block, generate stories, and further your writing goals. Jump-start your Tarot reading skills, and learn to apply the practical wisdom of the Tarot to the creative process. This is a generative workshop with opportunities to share your writing for feedback and discussion, with a focus on deepening and supporting your writing practice. In addition, there will be a discussion of tarot reading techniques for developing character, plot, and narrative structure. You are encouraged to bring a work-in-progress! * Suitable for fiction and nonfiction writers, poets, and playwrights, aged 14 and up. * No prior tarot experience is required. * You MUST obtain and bring a fully illustrated tarot deck. Please avoid "Marseilles" style decks where the “pip” cards are non-pictorial. We are all made of stories, and the Tarot is a key that can help you unlock them! The Argo stocks a variety of decks, so you can always buy one when you arrive if you don't have one already! This event is free, but limited to 15 participants! RSVP here on Eventbrite to reserve your spot. ![]()
