Writing the Labyrith April 2025

Unravel Rigidity. Rewrite Possibility.

Authoritarianism flattens thought. It thrives when we lose the ability to hold complexity, contradiction, and nuance. It succeeds by making us suspicious of ambiguity, desperate for simple answers, and eager to condemn rather than inquire.

It makes us rigid. Rigidity is not just a mental habit. It settles into the body, into the ways we relate, into the words we choose and the silences we enforce. When we are rigid, we do not just think narrowly, we live narrowly. We get trapped inside ourselves.

Rigidity enters through fear, exhaustion, and grief. It settles into the body and narrows what we can imagine. It trains us to distrust anything uncertain, layered, or unresolved. It teaches us to fear the labyrinth. Because the labyrinth, by contrast, honors multiplicity.

Why Write the Labyrinth?

"Gigi's method made me see tarot in a new way -- I loved it! A labyrinthine approach to the tarot mirrors the twists and turns of life: our narrative isn't complete, there's always a new turn in the path that changes how we see what came before (and an unknown at the next turn ahead). Very effective. Highly recommend!" -Taylor

Writing the Labyrinth is a workshop designed to break that pattern. Through writing practices guided by the labyrinth (non-linear, recursive, plural) and the tarot, we will move with and through complexity. Rather than seeking closure or certainty, we will practice staying open to the multiple, the relational, the difficult-to-define.

This is not a workshop about craft. It is not about divination or clarity for its own sake. We use tarot to destabilize in order to draw connections, to introduce friction, and to remind ourselves that meaning-making never happens in the singular.

Together, we will practice a different relationship to thinking and feeling that honors ambiguity as a source of aliveness rather than a threat.

We use the labyrinth not as metaphor, but as method: a structure older than Empire, older than borders, older than the Kronos time. We use it as a living technology for surviving complexity without losing ourselves to it.

These gatherings will be guided by the themes of the moon. Each session will draw on the astrological atmosphere of the moment, offering a collective agenda for those who wish to work with it. You are always welcome to bring your own inquiries as needed.
