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.

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 us have been feeling, especially here in the U.S. And yet, they also seemed to whisper that something big is on the horizon. Most strikingly, the Fool showed up five times and Strength appeared three times, offering a glimmer of hope that we do, in fact, have what it takes to begin again—with courage. This month brings Mother's Day (May 11), Memorial Day (May 26), and Beltane in the Northern Hemisphere—a time of fertility, renewal, and emergence. It’s a moment to slow down, soften, and pay attention to what’s rising to the surface. Around the world, people are gathering, resting, grieving, dancing, and healing. Taurus season returns us to the body and its wisdom, inviting us to move with steadiness and care. This month's Tarot Spread:Drawn from the Augenblick Tarot as part of our 2025 year ahead reading, our May card is the Page of Cups—a figure walks through the Adirondacks with a canoe hoisted overhead likely transporting the canoe and themselves from one body of water to another. The Page of Cups holds beginner’s heart: tender, creative, and a little unsure. There’s something adolescent here—like a young part of us is stepping forward, wanting to be seen and held with kindness. One person in our circle saw the canoe above the figure’s head as a quiet reminder that we’re each carrying something precious, something we’re learning to move through the world with. Another voice offered this: "Find good company to be good company." Whether in solitude or community, we’re invited to bring emotional honesty to the surface and meet it with a wide, generous heart. This month, notice what’s ready to be composted—not discarded, but transformed. Feelings that once felt tangled might be ready to become soil for something new. Your Invitation Join us tonight on Zoom for Second Thursday Tarot Reading Practice from 8pm to 11pm ET to read the monthly tarot spread together. No experience necessary. You need only a tarot deck to participate. And if you are not a tarot reader, you are warmly invited to use the questions below as journal prompts: This month's Emotional Composting Tarot Spread asks:
