New Workshop:
Before booking, please note: There are three listings on the Etsy shop for this course. This time I’m offering a sliding scale: Page ($55); Knight ($100); Monarch ($150). This is designed to allow people to sign up based on their situation. Choose the one that makes the most sense for you.
UPDATE: I HAVE TURNED THIS INTO A RECORDED CLASS THAT YOU DON’T NEED TO ATTEND LIVE. EVERY WORKSHOP WILL COME WITH A VIDEO LESSON AND A WORKBOOK/HANDOUT THAT YOU CAN USE TO EXPLORE.

Like the grand tableau, only less work! Amaze your friends and clients by remembering what the astrological houses are known for and—better yet—explore how to see someone’s whole life sitaution with one array!
Week 3 - Yes or No
Sat. August 10, 2-4pm or Fri. August 16, 4-6
Going back through my old books, I found a yes or no spread that deserves its place in the fortune teller’s toolkit! Let’s play with shouldn’ts and shoulds.
Week 4 - The Timing Spread
Sat. August 24, 2-4pm or Fri. August 30, 4-6
Once called the “Romani Spread,” this new version of an old relic explores how likely something is to happen over certain set periods in the future. Using up to 21 cards, this is for those who like big spreads and they cannot lie.

My workshops are always participant-centered but introvert friendly. I tell my groups, “participate to your level of comfort.” Some folks jump right in, others take a week or two, and others lurk. All of this is fine, but to those lurkers I encourage at least a little participation. And the reason is that these sessions are interactive.
Throughout our time together we’ll have our cards out and we’ll be reading, sharing, and discussing. I prepare a lesson guide for myself, but I’m a facilitator, not a dictator—and the joy of learning is doing, and the greatest lessons come from each other.
This is why I don’t sell recordings of past classes, because the content is as much the group’s as it is my own, and the specifics and focuses change based on each group.

Workshop Agreements
Before committing to a class with me, read the following. These are the “rules of the road” for the learner-centered space I work to create.
- We recognize the realities of history and modernity that leaves people oppressed, disenfranchised, and traumatized. While this may sound dramatic, my expectation is that, at a minimum, class participants accept that homophobia, transphobia, other queerphobias, white supremacy, racism, ableism, classism, ageism, misogyny, and other systematic dogmas are alive and well and hurting people as we speak. This is my first rule, because:
- Learning only happens when we feel safe, dammit! The workshop space should be an actively safe place for queer people, people of color, people of any age*, people of any body type and ability, people of any nationality or faith**, any gender expression, etc., can be comfortable to relax and experience the class. (*Except for the fact that my classes cover topics considered are 18+; **Unless that nationality or faith makes you actively harm others and you’re actively doing that now or plan to.)
- Nobody’s perfect. Any one of us might use the wrong pronoun, mispronounce a name, stumble on an accidentally awkward sentiment, use a word we don’t realize is no longer acceptable parlance, or say something dumb or weird that we didn’t quite mean as it sounded. We’ll all actively attempt to make the generous assumption with each other. (Unless a trend of not-very-thoughtful, easily avoidable behavior appears.) If someone corrects us, we thank them; if we notice we’ve said something incorrect, we fix it. We’re human. And many of us have lingering COVID brain.
- If you’re consistently being a dick, I will kick you out and I will not refund you. Sorry.
- No comparing ourselves! My workshops are designed assuming you have a foundational tarot practice, but are created to compliment the development of your foundation if that’s still in progress. Some of us will have been reading for 20+ years, some of us for 20+ minutes. That’s OK. Some of us charge money for readings (which, supposedly, makes us “professional”) and some of us don’t (which, supposedly, makes us “amateurs.”) In my workshops, the definition of a pro is someone who wants to learn, who is open, who gets excited by new ideas—even when they don’t agree with them. And the mark of an amateur is someone who is closed, refuses to learn, and doesn’t want to encounter anything that runs contrary to their assumptions.
- It’s your time! If you can’t make it, no worries. We’ll miss you, but life happens.
- Introverts: I won’t make you do anything that you don’t want to do. I will occasionally ask you if you want to add anything, and this is to give you the opportunity to chime in if you’ve been too shy so far—but you can feel free to decline. I think you’ll eventually warm up, though.
- Extraverts: You make my job so easy! Your enthusiasm lights us all up and gives the workshop a motor! Once in a while, though, you need to shut up and let others talk, OK? Just a reminder!
