Turning Moments into Myth with Erica Walker Adams

Aug 27, 2013 · 7:00 PM
Living Earth Denver

Turning moments into myth -- what makes a tarot card? Explore the possibilities and design your own.

Erica will facilitate a discussion on the a-ha moment -- the moment when a tarot card and a situation perfectly align. Worried about your health and get positive results back from a company that uses the sun as a logo? Lose your keys and pull the Four of Swords, then find the keys under your bed? We'll talk about traditional tarot iconography matching up with a situation as well as details from modern decks matching up with a situation. We'll discuss what makes these experiences mythic!

Then we'll create a tarot card for our own mythic experiences. We'll find an event in our lives that can be illustrated symbolically. Colored pencils, markers, collage materials, and other treasures will be provided, as well as examples from handmade decks!

This is a fabulous project for all levels, including brand-new beginners, because it gives you a chance to look at the cards from a fresh viewpoint and discover how they relate to your own life. I hope you can join us!

This was awesome! My first real experience with Tarot cards and it was very welcoming, engaging, and nonthreatening. I feel that this event actually allowed me to become personally engaged with the event. I look forward to learning more!

Erica did a good job last night engaging everyone in your presentation. She helped us all to realize there is always more depth to the cards to be explored. Good job Erica

LOVED this experience! The slightly acerbic quality the presenter used was very funny and really freed us up to explore our own creativity.

Although I never finished my collage, the the creative process ended up becoming its own oracular commentary on the card I drew, pulling out some very specific personal connections with the imagery. There was significant meaning culled from the action as well as the product.

Great time my card is going on my alter. I have a new respect for the Hierophant

Welcome to the Denver Tarot Meetup!

The Denver Tarot Meetup Group is an open community dedicated to the practice of tarot. We offer a safe and encouraging place for new and experienced readers to read for each other, learn, and share their knowledge on all things tarot. There's so much information and different opinions out there that you'll never be bored.

A Wide Variety of Events Each Month

The Denver Tarot Meetup currently offers nine regular meetups a month plus special events. We host:

• Learning workshops on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month

• Presentations by you and your peers on the 1st Tuesday

• Tarot and Lenormand socials around the metro on the weekends

• A variety of special events

Tarot Workshops on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays - Learn Something New

We offer low-priced workshops on the second and fourth Tuesdays featuring a guest speaker who is an experienced teacher, community leader, and recognized expert in the field. Throughout its history, Denver Tarot Meetup has hosted the best and brightest tarot readers and experts from the Denver metro area and beyond. These events introduce innovative techniques, deepen your understanding of basic tarot approaches, add practical skills to your toolbox, increase your proficiency, and provide space for personal development while you practice your craft.

1st Tuesday Tarot - Share Your Knowledge

1st Tuesday Tarot offers presentations from you and your peers. DTM members are given the opportunity to sign up to share on the tarot topic of their choosing. It's ideal for first-time presenters and those giving a new topic its public debut "test drive." And attendees, you can count on having some focused reading time to experiment, as we use our cards to explore what we've just learned.

Tarot and Lenormand Socials - Fun with Friends

Join us on the weekends for the Tarot and Lenormand Socials, casual meetups offered in your neck of the woods. These are great for newcomers and beginners--we share our decks, do readings, and discuss thoughts and questions about tarot in an open format. So come by even if you don't own a deck and bring a friend who's new to tarot.

Special Events - Rub Shoulders with Tarot Celebrities

We also feature special events throughout the year in which we bring in out-of-town luminaries for talks, workshops, and classes or partner with another meetup to offer a joint event. We've featured a variety of top tarot teachers, including Martien & Teressena Bakens (Fifth Tarot), Barbara Moore (Steampunk Tarot and many others), James Wanless (Voyager Tarot), Katrina Wynne (Oracle Soup podcast), Shaheen Miro (Tattered Nomad Oracle), Beth Seilonen (Dream Raven Tarot and many others), Erik Dunne (Tarot Illuminati), Toney Brooks (Chrysalis Tarot), and Vicki Noble (Motherpeace Tarot).

But best of all, the Denver Tarot Meetup is a fun way to make new friends in a creative community that supports you, challenges you, inspires you, and welcomes you.
