This afternoon, I attended Valerie Adinofi's "Tarage" Tarot~ Collage Workshop at Inner Bliss. It was a fascinating immersion into the combined arts of tarot and collage, neither of which I had ever explored prior to today. To begin, we each chose a tarot card from a shuffled deck and were then provided information as to the meaning of our chosen cards. Additionally, we were provided with magazines and art supplies with which to create collages based on the themes of the cards chosen. Much to my surprise, I found my card to be deeply concordant with my current situation. More to my surprise, I learned that I was not the only one to have had that experience. We also received various other information sheets in addition to Valerie's vibrant, clear, and engaging presentation as to how she came to be involved with tarot, as well as how she was inspired to merge these two beautiful arts. The result, for me, was an experience that was intense, meditative, and once again, surprising because while I did not imagine that I could be creative in the collage sense, Valerie's encouragement for us to trust our intuition and believe in the process, itself, was probably what I most needed to hear! I truly found myself more deeply engaged than I'd imagined possible as the stress of the day first diminished and then disappeared. Upon completing our collages, we had the warm pleasure of sharing and explicating the structure and significance of our creations. As a result of this workshop experience, not only am I determined to learn everything I can about tarot but also to engage in the healing art of collage on a dedicated basis. This was absolutely delightful, insightful, and even healing. Attending Valerie's workshop was one of the highlights of my year. THANK you, Valerie!
