About this Event
Have you been pulling a card a day since forever? Maybe do a spread on NYE or when a full moon comes around, but do you get shy or anxious when someone says, "Oh you do tarot? Can you read my cards?"
This is a change to practice, learn, and share tarot for readers of all levels and backgrounds to deepen their tarot practice and connect with other tarot enthusiasts in their community.
In Victorian times, a Salon was a regular, private social gathering held in a person's home—specifically within the parlour or drawing room—designed to foster intellectual conversation, artistic performance, and social networking. Renowned as a key feature of the "age of conversation," these events were often moderated by educated women (salonnières) who brought together artists, writers, politicians, and intellectuals to discuss literature, science, politics, and culture... and in our case tarot.
🫖 7PM Introductions, find a seat, put on the kettle, pick a teacup
🕯️ 7:15 Pick a deck that speaks to you, share the deck you brought
☕️ 7:30-8:30 Exchange readings and insights with your neighbour, laugh over tea, hum and haw about that interpretation, shuffle and try again!
This is community event and the purpose is to gather and connect with each other. You may be encouraged to talk to folks you don't know! We're leaning into what can be learned from our collective sharing of wisdom. Please don't be offended if you're asked to sit with other people or mingle a bit, it's all part of the fun and goes wonderfully when folks bring an attitude of openness, nonjudgment, and curiosity.
