Local teacher and tarot practitioner Leslie Schaffer brings tarot to life in this introductory workshop.

Are you tarot-curious? Do you have a tarot deck (or think about buying one) but don't know where to start? Or do you have some familiarity with tarot but want to learn more about the deck and how to read with it? This workshop is the perfect introduction to the cards and to reading for yourself and others. Tarot is a profound tool for connecting with yourself and others. Studying tarot allows you to strengthen your intuition, sharpen your analytical skills, and tap into your creativity. This workshop will provide you with an understanding of the cards as well as the tools and confidence to get started on your reading journey.

Space is limited to first 30 attendees. If you have a tarot deck already, bring it along! If not, extras will be available to share.
