Workshop: The Story in Cards: Using Tarot Cards to Inspire Your Writing with Anya Bergman

Join author and professional tarot reader Anya Bergman in a storytelling workshop which draws inspiration from the ancient art of tarot. Let the cards guide your words! Tarot cards can be powerful tools for unlocking creativity. Anya will lead a one hour workshop, guiding you through different ways of using tarot cards to write stories. No experience with tarot or writing necessary – bring your own deck if you have one!

Anya Bergman became interested in the witch trials of Vardø and the vivid folk tales of the north while living in Norway. Travelling to the Steilneset memorial, in which Louise Bourgeois and Peter Zumthor commemorated those persecuted as witches, she became fascinated by their stories. Now resident in Ireland, she is currently undertaking a PhD by Published Works at Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland where she also lectures as well as tutoring for Jericho Writers. Her new novel, The Tarot Reader of Versailles, unites the fates of two very different women against the tumultuous backdrop of the French Revolution.
