4pm: Radical Horizons in the Collective Practice of Tarot
Host: Roary Slant
The founder of the speaking series A Reading on Reading Tarot offers new frameworks to spark the radical imagination and proposals for tarot reading as collective practice. What radical horizons might appear as we navigate our intuitive powers, together? This workshop will outline the shortcomings of tarot as commerce and the enormous, positive potential of tarot reading as a means of radical collaboration. Its content will draw on Roary’s experiences facilitating A Reading on Reading Tarot and lessons learned participating in radical mental health collectives, mutual aid projects and writing groups. The workshop will additionally offer a basic framework for attendees interested in bringing their own radical practices into the world.
5:15 pm: The Claires - Discovering Your Gifts
Host: Seven Brown
This workshop is about understanding the importance of intuition; most importantly, how to interpret the language of spirit flowing through you; to understand what intuitive abilities are, where they come from, how they benefit you.

Participants will learn specifically about Aztec marigold (Tagetes Erecta) and its history, powerful medicine, and its multitude of uses. We will also make cempazúchitl tinctures.
ZOOM ONLY
6:45 LUNAR CALENDARS: praxis for womb healing justice
Host: Ana Puente Flores
This workshop is intended to help you understand the complex, but actually simple and natural lunar cycles and to share the tools for creating lunar calendars. The purpose of lunar calendars is to track our lunar cycle. This will allow us to become experts of our own rhythms, as our womb space manifests itself and our relationship with it is nurtured. Connect with yourself, with your rhythms, your patterns, your emotions, your routines. This workshop is not an anatomy or biology workshop. But it is a tool for the self-management of lunar knowledge. If you are looking to connect with your moon and make it a beautiful journey through your interior and how it connects with the exterior and the cosmos, this workshop is for you.
