Oracles, Intuition, and Creativity
August 4, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
$280Forge a deeper connection with your intuition in this 5-week course exploring intuitive processes and symbolism in creative practice. Students will work with The Personal Oracle deck, designed by instructor Coleman Stevenson, to stretch their symbolic awareness and sharpen their creative instincts. The cards and other divinatory methods will be used as prompts for storytelling and other creative writing exercises as well. This is a great class for card readers who want to expand their reading methods to include visual and intuitive reading AND for writers who want to explore alternative composition methods. No prior experience with cartomancy is required. Tuition for the course includes a copy of The Personal Oracle (Second Edition) and an accompanying journal for exploring the cards.
