Whether you're dealing with a case of writer's block or you're just looking for a new way to generate prompts, there's a lot of inspiration in the cards. And by cards, we mean tarot and oracle decks. These cards, imbued with decades of symbolism and deep meaning, can help you find new ideas and think about your writing in a whole new way.
Join us for this four-week workshop with author Dr. Kathryn Peterson to learn about using these mystical decks to elevate your writing and generate ideas. You'll have time to create work throughout the class and share it for feedback, building up your writing skills along the way!
