Forging Tarot and the Undersea Poem: A Poetry and Tarot Workshop

Forging Tarot and the Undersea Poem: A Poetry and Tarot Workshop

 Internationally renowned poets, tarot readers, and teachers Timothy Liu and Hoa Nguyen offer a three-hour tarot and poetry workshop in Toronto. Rare opportunity; spaces limited. Write to hn2626@gmail.com to reserve your space now.  Description: How do we get help with writing and rewrite our own poems outside of ourselves? How do we move from an ego-driven self to a more mystical Self? To “divine” is the attempt to gain insight and inspiration by way of occult practices and rituals. In this workshop, we will first consider texts influenced by such practices (including excerpts from T.S. Eliot and Sylvia Plath). We will then consider how we can incorporate the Tarot into our own daily writing lives. Bring your favorite deck.

ENROLLMENT CLOSED.
