 | The Axiological Conclave Facilitated by Silas Plum The Axiological Conclave is a guided workshop that uses tarot imagery as a shared symbolic language for examining how we assign value—what we pursue, what we protect, and what we repeatedly return to. This is not a tarot reading. No predictions are made. No belief is required. Tarot is used because it is a stable, finite visual system—structured enough to support clear thinking about motive, habit, and choice without collapsing into autobiography or abstraction. The Conclave runs as a six-week series, meeting Saturdays from 2:00–3:30 PM, beginning February 7. Each six-session cycle is $400. Participants work with images, prompts, and facilitated discussion in a contained, thoughtful setting. Supervised by Lilla Ohrstrom ATR-BC |
 | SoulCollage® Facilitated by Lilla Ohrstrom ATR-BC SoulCollage® is an intuitive, image-based collage process for self-discovery and community. Participants create their own decks of collaged cards using found images, exploring inner and outer guides, challengers, and aspects of self. The process is accessible and grounded—requiring no art background, interpretive skill, or belief system. SoulCollage® meets Saturdays from 2:00–4:00 PM on the following dates: January 31 · March 21 · March 28 · May 16 · July 11 · September 12 · November 7 The full seven-session series is $500. |
