Tarot cards offer an exciting way to strengthen your intuition, gain new perspectives, and better understand yourself. At the stand, you can explore Tarot with a reader as a form of self-care—not as a tool for predicting the future, but as a practice of self-reflection and personal growth. Many queer, LGBTIQA+, and BIPoC communities already use Tarot as a resource for empowerment, healing, and connecting with their own traditions. Inspired by Audre Lorde’s idea that self-care is an act of self-preservation—and therefore also resistance—Tarot invites you to discover your own sources of strength.
You don’t need anything but yourself. Ideally, you have a specific question in mind, but this is not required.
At the Tarot stand, you will be welcomed by Mercury Messages. She is an intuitive Tarot reader with her own YouTube channel for collective Tarot readings and is also a certified psychological astrologer.
We carry our body and breath with us in every moment – yet rarely use them consciously. This workshop introduces simple techniques you can easily integrate into daily life to support you in regulating your mood and energy through mindful awareness of breath and body.
