Price: suggested $25-$65 sliding scale *if you would like to attend but the sliding scale options do not work for you, let's figure it out! Fool/ish will be inspired and guided by the Fool, Tarot’s first card of the Major Arcana, marked as number 0 meaning possibility, experimentation, risk. The Fool in Tarot represents beginnings, a playfulness and excitement of the present moment. With this in mind, we, as a cohort, will explore and generate through ritual, collaborative and individual writing prompts, divination, dialogue and experimentation.

Her first full length book, the meshes was published by Black Radish Books in 2015 and her chapbook, Slabs was published by Timeless Infinite Light in 2016.
