One of my favorite things is gathering with like-minded people who want to learn and grow. When I share how tarot can elevate their writing experience to an inspiring new level, the energy in the room prickles with possibility. Writers and Creatives feel more relaxed and rejuvenated knowing they have this accessible tool as a collaborative partner that will help them explore and expand their ideas. I offer a workshop geared toward character development and a presentation on using the tarot to inspire your writing. The very essence of the tarot is playful, which helps our angsty minds relax and the ideas to flow.
It’s been proven that people who attend fun experience:
A workshop brings people together. It allows them to brainstorm and learn from their peers as they ask questions and comment on their experiences. And who couldn’t use more magic in their life? Read below to learn more.
The goal of a storyteller is to create dynamic characters. Carefully crafted personas are believable and act according to their prescribed personalities.
Many methods assist character development, and using the Court Cards of the tarot is magical. These archetypal cards are a valuable resource for understanding the depths and nuances of various personalities. Through discussion and writing exercises, we also delve into the roles each personality type tends to play. By the end of the workshop, attendees will feel confident assigning a Court Card to the characters of their story. With a downloadable workbook, they will leave with a resource available to maintain their characters’ consistency throughout their story and for use with any work in the future.

Writing is how we communicate to others and ourselves. People who want to write creatively pen books, scripts, newsletters, blogs, and proposals. Professionals write speeches, presentations, documents, proposals, reviews, and copy. Students crank out papers and painstaking dissertations. Many of us like to journal or practice free writing.
Would you believe it if I told you that the tarot is a fantastic tool for any or all of these?
All writing begins with an idea. When the stars are aligned, your thoughts flow easily from your brain to the page. Unfortunately, we’re not always riding the Milky Way when we are called to create. A rough night’s sleep, stress, overthinking, too much coffee (or not enough!) –-you know, an average day in the life–can cause us to feel stuck and uninspired. As a tool that helps us explore and connect with ourselves, the tarot also encourages creative observation and thinking. Whether or not you understand a card’s meaning, the artwork alone can spark a concept or notion to share.
You don’t have to feel ‘stuck’ to reach for the tarot. Who wouldn’t want a collaborative partner to brainstorm ideas?
