Writing With Tarot
Free with admission to Portland Book Festival
Tarot is both deeply symbolic and highly narrative, creating a system that can inspire and guide many forms of writing. This multigenre workshop will introduce techniques for using tarot in one’s writing practice.
This is a free drop in class offered at the Portland Book Festival. ALL attendees must acquire a wristband before entering the class venue. Space is limited.
