Creative Alchemy

A series of workshops offered especially for these times of disentanglement and transformation.

Drawing from mythology, tarot, astrology, poetry, nature connection, art and alchemy - re/weaving them into creative practice and ways of being.

Sessions are sometimes offered as a complete series, also as individual pick-and-mix one-off workshops; online and occasionally in-person. New subjects are added from time to time, as the series evolves. Available dates will be shown here, and in the Diary.

Previous sessions include:

Riddling the Ash (December 2024)

2025 is the Year of the Hermit card (with The Moon as a secondary archetype).

On 1st December, with the new moon in Sagittarius (the truth-seeker), we will see in the dark. Looking at the year that's been and what might lie ahead, we use the archetypes of tarot to light a path. Alchemising the messages of the cards into creative writing, we'll create poem-spells for what we need now: whether that's grounding and stability, a girding of loins, a greater sense of community and collective action, hope, justice, a proclamation of values - all will be infused within the spell. You'll be guided in the creative process every step of the way. You’ll want to have an interest in tarot, symbology, astrology, mythology, poetry and ritual, but no precise knowledge or previous experience of tarot is required: all will be provided.
