Step into spring with a guided evening of intention-setting, symbolic reflection, and slow stitching. This session is a beginner-friendly embroidery workshop exploring tarot as a creative and symbolic prompt. 🔮🧵
In this 2.5-hour session, participants will each pull a tarot card and use its imagery and archetypal themes as a starting point for reflection and intention-setting. This is not a predictive tarot reading — rather, we’ll use the cards as a visual language to spark journaling, conversation, and creative exploration.
Through guided prompts, you’ll consider:
- What feels present in your life right now?
- What is emerging?
- What are you being invited to embody or release?
- What intention would you like to carry forward this season?
These reflections will then be translated into stitched text, symbols, or abstract forms on fabric. You may stitch a word, a phrase, an image, or simply respond through colour and texture.
This workshop centres slow making, shared conversation, and collective presence. No prior sewing or tarot experience is required — all materials are provided.
This is a calm, inclusive space for reflection, creativity, and connection.
Beginners and seasoned makers are equally welcome. Our sessions are inclusive of the whole queer community, as well as our wonderful allies. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
