Learn how to use tarot cards as a source of writing inspiration in this full-day workshop with Meg Hayertz.
Stuck in a creative rut? Tarot can help you out of your head and back into the flow. Join author Meg Hayertz in the Wordcrafters studio for a day of intuitive inspiration, writing magic, and soulful support.
You sit down to write and…your inner critic steps in. Whether you’re struggling with writer’s block, battling imposter syndrome, suffering from low self-confidence, or just want something fresh and fun in your craft toolbox, the Tarot can help.
For motivational slumps and craft challenges that resist a head-on approach, the Tarot—its art, archetypes, and uncanny messages—is uniquely able to quiet the inner critic, inspire your imagination, and offer surprising, spot-on solutions.
Tarot works because it communicates with your subconscious through symbols, speaking directly to the parts of your psyche (and your characters’) that resist logic, reason, and productivity hacks. Tarot creates space for your subconscious to dream, play, and speak through symbols, emotions, and intuitive hunches. These mysterious and elusive messages from your own subconscious are often the missing ingredients that help a stalled piece of writing to flow again.
In this workshop, you’ll learn techniques for connecting with your intuition and the creative energy that flows through the entire writing process, from idea to completion.
In this fun and unique daylong workshop, you’ll learn how to use tarot cards as a source of writing inspiration and discover how to trust your storytelling voice. You’ll also receive a personal tarot reading from Meg about your characters, plot, or a creative block–giving you fresh insight into your writing.
This full-day workshop offers a warm and supportive space to explore tarot through practical exercises and guided reflections. Whether you’re simply curious about tarot, ready to break through a creative writing block, or desire to deepen your creative intuition, you’ll leave with inspiration, words on the page, and renewed confidence.
