Spells, Spirits & Scribes
“Bridging the power of tarot and creative writing, this generative workshop hosted by Heronkind, Zinnia Smith, and Dearly Studio will help you embrace your intuition and channel your own poetic messages from the other side. With The Wheel of Fortune, Ace of Swords, and the Queen of Wands as our guides, we'll dive into the lessons they have to share. Your instructors Zinnia and Lauren will prompt you to write and reflect from the heart, with inspiration from a live group tarot reading, spring equinox ritual, poetry, and writing prompts.”
DEARLY NOTE: If you’ve never been to one of Lauren and Zinnia’s classes…
They’re the best and you’ll have fun! All you need to bring is a writing utensil and the notebook of your choice. You will not be required to read aloud or share your work if you do not want to.
Valentine’s Day Weddings
FYI, Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday this year. Do with that information what you will.

Spells, Spirits & Scribes (Writing + Tarot Workshop)
As we enter the fall season, it’s time to turn within and connect with the magic of the dark. What are you ready to harvest? What are you ready to shed as you plant new seeds for the next chapter? Let your creative fire lead the way with this writing + tarot workshop at Dearly Studio.
Bridging the power of tarot and creative writing, this generative workshop will help you embrace your intuition and channel your own poetic messages from the other side. With The High Priestess, Knight of Wands, and Six of Swords as our guides for the evening, we will dive deep into the lessons they each have to share. Your instructors Zinnia and Lauren will prompt you to write and reflect from the heart, with inspiration from a live group tarot reading, fall equinox ritual, poetry, and writing prompts to evoke the spirit of the season. Whatever wisdom comes through, you are invited to alchemize it on the page to help you feel energized, uplifted, and empowered.
By the end of the class, you’ll leave with a triptych in your pocket and a deeper knowledge of tarot. Each ticket comes with a drink from Dearly Studio’s bar, and we’ll take a 20 minute break to stretch our legs and refresh. Bring pen + paper. Writers are welcome to bring a small object to offer to an autumnal altar to help shape the space.
