The Storytelling Tarot with Noelle Harrison

  • Pleasance 60 Pleasance Edinburgh, Scotland, EH8 9TQ United Kingdom (map)

Tarot Cards are not just for divination. We can use them to create stories and it’s so fun! After all, this was what Tarot Cards were originally used for in the form of storytelling games in Italy during the Renaissance.

Take a different approach to your creativity and fiction writing and join me for my practical workshop using Tarot Cards to unlock ideas, develop characters and build storytelling structure for your own novel, story or creative project.

No experience with Tarot Cards is necessary but you will need a deck of Tarot cards to get the most out of the workshop. The easiest deck for beginners is the Rider Waite Deck or pick a Tarot Deck which resonates for you!
