The Tarot is an ancient symbols system which explores individual experience in the context of the universal archetypes that energise it. It is most commonly thought of as an oracle but like dreams, which we mostly seek to interpret, it can be used not only as a reflection of daily life but also an exciting way in to the imaginal layers of the self.
In this course we will be drawing on tarot symbols to create dynamic characters and stories. No previous knowledge or experience is necessary – just an open mind and a spirit of adventure.

Dreaming starts in the womb before we are born and we return to dreaming every night throughout our lives. Everybody's dream world is unique, with its own story patterns, landscapes and images, and it is the source of all our creativity.
In these sessions we will be establishing dream recall and exploring the dream world through creative writing.

Story-making comes easily and naturally to everyone – it’s how we process experience. We make decisions by imagining future stories and understand the past through the stories of memory. This series of workshops is an opportunity to notice and harness your story-making mind through fictional and autobiographical writing. You don’t need any special skills or experience - just a pen, some paper and a sense of adventure.

This course is an opportunity to have a go at different kinds of writing, including sessions on fiction, autobiography and non fiction. No special skill is needed – just a notepad, a pen and a sense of adventure!
