Join us for a fun-filled hour learning about tarot!

We will have a hands-on practicing session to learn about tarot's myths and history. Tarot has been used for centuries for divination, personal growth, and spiritual insight. You will experience different card layouts, and get an overview of what some of the key cards mean while practicing on others in the session. The session will be taught by Shaman Phil, a local spiritual healer.
