Writer, poet, and tarot expert April Ursula Fox (Educational Psychology), with Las Vegas community partner Avantpop Bookstore & Publishing, were awarded a grant by the Black Mountain Institute to develop the STTAR - Storytelling with Tarot project. The project brings 13 writers together to create short stories using Tarot cards as the basis for plot and character development. Tapping into the timeless wisdom of the tarot, authors participate in a series of workshops culminating in the publication of a book in which both the stories and the processes of using the tarot become available to readers worldwide. The book launch will happen at Avantpop bookstore in Las Vegas on Dec. 14, 2024, at 7 p.m.
