Looking to make good on your resolution to write? Wanting to create fresh material painlessly? Order up a round from the bar, and come join others for this playful and productive session designed to kickstart your writing via the tarot.

You don’t need to be an expert or a “believer” in the cards to leverage their many benefits as a writer: character archetypes and universal themes, details for inspiration and plenty of wiggle room for individual interpretation. We’ll draw from the cards, using their imagery and associations as the basis for creating new work. Participants can expect to leave with multiple ideas and starts for stories, essays or poetry for development in the coming year. We’ll also touch on key points of process and craft as well as ideas for carrying your work forward.

This is a generative, all-levels class; no formal creative writing training required.
