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.
Tarot & Meditations March Newsletter

Hello! As March 2025 unfolds, we find ourselves in a time of swift decisions and bold actions. Governments are making sweeping policy changes, industries are shifting course, and movements are gaining momentum—all with a sense of urgency. Whether it's economic policies reshaping trade, restructuring within institutions, or global alliances being tested, we are witnessing choices made in the moment that will have lasting consequences. This kind of momentum raises questions about impact. The voices rallying in support of change are met with those urging caution, and beneath it all, the reality remains: every decision comes with a tradeoff. As we watch world events unfold, it’s worth asking—what parallels are you noticing in your own life? What changes are you making? Where are you shifting course? What in your life is gaining momentum? Are you acting quickly in response to pressure, conviction, or necessity? When we move with speed, are we being driven by clarity, or are we simply swept up in the current? And what of your impact--on your own future self or the world? Are your inner voices urging caution or cheering you forward? Is there something you're fighting for that demands urgency, or are you chasing something without fully considering the cost? March is a month of action, but it also invites reflection. How will you navigate the balance between the two? This month's Tarot Spread:This month we are working with the Knight of Swords tarot card, pulled from the Tarot in Pandemic and Revolution deck at our 2025 Year Ahead Reading. We will be working with the Consequences Tarot Spread--inspired by this Knight of Swords--at this month's Second Thursday Tarot Reading Practice. Join us at 8pm ET for help in reading this spread for yourself or try it on your own. And if you are not a tarot reader, feel free to use these questions as journal prompts. Consequences Tarot Spread: 1) What am I chasing? 2) What might it cost me? This month's Meditations:Join us as we continue to explore the Major Arcana through meditation. Next up is the Wheel of Fortune. We meet Mondays on Zoom from 8pm to 9pm ET for a guided meditation and discussion.

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.

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...
