Looking for a new way to spark story ideas or workshop a finished piece? We’ll show you how to use tarot and oracle decks to inspire your writing practice! 

Local tarot practitioner Amanda Bergemann and writer Jenn Walter will give you a crash course in tarot basics and explain how each deck carries its own story. We’ll share examples of how you can use the cards to explore plot devices, character storylines, and get inspiration for poems or flash fiction pieces. Then, we’ll have time to play with a wide variety of decks and generate new writing (or add on to an existing project). 

Bring something to write with — either a journal + pen or a laptop is fine. You are welcome to bring an existing project or start from scratch.

This event is open to writers of all genres, and you do not need to have experience with tarot. You also don’t need to have any idea of what you’d like to write. Our main goal is to create a space for exploration and learning among fellow writers, and leave you with some new ideas for story generation.

Cost: Free (donations welcome!)
