JOIN THE DISCUSSION
The session starts with an overview of mental health frameworks, breaking down a systems view of wellbeing. This helps us create the context to talk about mental health and the healing process. Then, we’ll dive into an adventure using the Tarot, exploring aspects of our personality that emerge along the path. Our route covers typical character arcs, and examples of strategies to progress through the phases, highlighting the emotional shifts to look for that signal our growth.
This program takes place in person at the Alexandra Writers’ Centre (AWCS), on the 4th floor of cSpace Marda Loop (map).
