Tarot for Beginners
In this class absolute beginners can learn to tell stories and understand the meaning of Tarot cards. Using the Rider Waite Smith Tarot, we will learn exercises and practice readings in a way that leads to a deep, intuitive connection to the Tarot cards.
Fairy Tale Art Jam for Adults
The ancient stories of humanity were told long before ever being written down – they were refined in performance and passed on by word of mouth. In their earliest forms they were often raw and unfiltered. Every week we choose an original and uncensored story from the rich heritage left to us by the Brothers Grimm and other sources and we practice telling it dramatically, and unpacking it’s possible meanings. Participants will create visual expressions of the stories and learn to tell them orally, from memory. Regular participants will build a repertoire of memorized, performance-ready stories.
Practical Memory Arts for Beginners
In the old days, it was important to have a good memory. Before books, printing, and computers, having knowledge was considered to be having a good memory. Memory masters used techniques, such as the memory palace technique, or peg system mnemonics to remember a wide range of topics. In this class we will learn and practice some memory arts to help us to help us retain information, songs, stories, and more.

Healing Power of Sound Bath
The Sound Bath is a deeply-immersive, full-body listening experience that intentionally uses sound to invite gentle yet powerful therapeutic and restorative processes to NURTURE OUR MIND AND BODY.
When you sink into a Sound Bath and guide your awareness to your listening, you allow your brain waves to slow, shifting from a more active state to a more relaxed state, or even a dreamlike state. Through crystal bowls and other music instruments, the session brings students into deeper connection to themselves.
Crystal bowls have been used in healing modalities since the 1980’s.
We are primed to receive the sound that crystal bowls make in our bodies because 70% of our bodies is consist of water and our bones have a crystalline structure that creates an entertainment between sound and body. Usually people would feel thirsty after the session. So water need to be prepared before the session.
Wednesday, Nov 10 8-9pm, $250
Practitioner: Mia
Participants: 2-10, mats are provided, kindly bring your favourite eye mask and blanket.
