Take a Tarot workshop with Eva!


Meet me at Dancing While Black: Share • Practice • Thrive | a virtual marketplace!

Since 2012, Dancing While Black (DWB) has served as a launching pad and community hub, bringing Black dance voices to the fore and centering a space for Black dance artists to reflect and create authentically. Throughout that time, DWB has supported 22 emerging Black artists as Fellows, incubated more than two dozen works and held countless convenings for folx to share, connect and simply be.

I'm thrilled to support DWB as it celebrates its Tenth Anniversary year. I'll be joining some of my favorite folks from the dance community, a wonderful lineup of presenters, on Saturday, October 1 at DWB's virtual marketplace over Zoom, and whether or not you are a Tarotista or a dancer (my presentation is not a dance workshop), you're welcome to join in!

Take a Journey with Tarot

with Eva Yaa Asantewaa

11:00am–12:30pm Eastern

Eva Yaa Asantewaa has been deeply immersed in Tarot practice since the early 1980s as a counselor, teacher, and meditation guide. She will guide the group in a process using Tarot symbols for revelation and liberation. You’re encouraged to bring materials to record your experiences and thoughts: a notebook or loose paper with a pen or other materials for writing and drawing or your phone to make audio notes. You need not have a Tarot or any kind of oracle deck for this workshop but, if you do, feel free to keep it nearby to consult. The images Eva refers to will be screen-shared and visually described.

Note: Participants will need something for writing or sketching.

As we continue DWB’s 10th Anniversary celebration, we are excited to center voices from our network whose practices can help us all thrive. Come for one or all of our offerings throughout the day. All are welcome, sliding scale.

Do you have any access needs for this event? Please let us know by September 19th.

Sliding Scale: $0, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100

We value both accessibility and class analysis and leveraging privilege to support others in our community. We ask that you pay on the scale according to your ability, in order to support access, and engage in interdependence in action. The practice of choosing a rate that is both affordable and heartfelt is a mindfulness and justice-seeking practice. We will not question your self-determined rate.
