It’s tempting to hold back—especially when being seen has meant being misunderstood. But we aren’t meant to live as spectators. My work exists to invite people back into relationship with life: through meditation, tarot, art, and writing experiences that hold space for connection. Each offering is a small gesture toward re-entry. When we begin to show up, others do too. And that’s how it happens: we co-create something better, together.

Welcome back. This month we arrive at a closing. This coming Monday we gather for the final meditation in our 78-card series, ending with The World. It’s the last time we’ll sit together in this form, having traveled through every card in the deck. 🌞 Guided Meditation on the World Card — Monday, August 4 at 8pm (ET) This will be our only meditation this month. I’m still weighing whether it makes sense to continue Monday Meditations after this series is complete. One possibility is meeting twice a month for new moon and full moon meditations guided by tarot—or simply holding two tarot-led meditations each month. I’d love to hear your thoughts! For the rest of August, our guiding card is The Chariot. How might its themes of achievement, focus, and movement (or lack of movement) support you this month? This question will thread through this month’s tarot spread and each of our gatherings in art, reading, and writing. On the blog, I’ve revisited my very first blog post and added a reflection on what it means to “talk” with your tarot. How do the messages arrive? Images, textures, and spiritual downloads are some of what I discussed in my answer to this question. I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments of this post. From the blog.

Welcome back. This month, I’m reflecting on what happens when the tools we write with become part of the process itself. I’ve also got two tarot spreads to share—one on claiming ground, one on giving it—and we’ll be gathering later this week to read one of them together. 🌞 Guided Meditation on the Sun Card — Monday, July 7 at 8pm (ET) We'll be gathering tonight to meditate on The Sun tarot card. After this session, there are only two meditations left—Judgement and The World—and we’ll have...
Hello May! As last month's work with the Ace of Wands drew to a close with our tarot writing workshop, we noticed that seed of fire echoed in a powerful display of Major Arcana cards. If you're unfamiliar with the tarot or still finding your way into it, simply letting the names of these cards wash over you can help you begin to sense their energies. The Chariot, Death, The Hanged Man, and The Wheel of Fortune all made multiple appearances—echoing the change, tension, and uncertainty many of...
Hello April! As spring settles into Philadelphia, cherry blossoms bloom alongside charged conversations about community, justice, and what it means to belong. Across the city, the country, and the world, people are organizing, planting, protesting, gathering, and creating. There’s a collective sense that we’re being called to nurture something new—not only within ourselves, but in the structures and relationships that shape our daily lives. This month’s tarot spread speaks directly to that...
