Writing with Tarot: Independent Book Store Day

Sat, April 25 from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm PDT

Space is limited

Come celebrate Independent Bookstore Day at Literary Arts and take part in a free, two-hour condensed version of Miranda Schmidt’s Writing With Tarot class.

This multigenre workshop will introduce techniques for using tarot in one’s writing practice. We’ll use tarot cards to generate new ideas and new writing through writing exercises. Miranda will also offer free 10 minute tarot readings in the bookstore, for an hour following the class.

This class is free but space is limited.
