Tarot for Healing & Liberation is a three-part series on connecting and working with tarot as a tool for collective healing & liberation through personal spiritual practice. We will locate the ways that tarot, in connection with other spiritual modalities, (plant)-cestral connection, and divine communion can support the reclamation of our relationships with our bodies, spirits, and autonomy.
Over the course of the three workshops, we will first deepen in our understanding of the major arcana, then the minor arcana, and finally practice using this understanding as a foundation for ancestral & divine channeling. All levels are welcome, and participants are invited to bring their own decks along if they have them.
We’ll explore how relating with/through tarot can bring us closer to ourselves, our power, and the wisdom and truths we contain. And what it can help us draw from other realms to inform and nourish our collective movements for the liberation of all beings.
Rma is a genderfluid marathi dandelion-moon-being temporarily living in a human body. They are a care worker, space holder, and multidisciplinary artist. All of Rma’s work weaves together themes of earthly and cosmic entities, the metaphysical, liberation, grief, and love. You can listen to them talk their shit heartfully on their independent podcast, the dandelion.

@louisebrisante (she/her) writes in her free time about political issues that are primarily related to her African migration history and her experience as a dark-skinned Black person. Her activism consists mainly of bringing racialized communities together to learn from each other, engage in dialogue, and give space to feelings of anger.
workshop: whydarkskinmatters
The interactive empowerment workshop examines the photo series “why darkskin matters” and the refocusing on darker-skinned Black, African, and Afro-diasporic people. Dark(er) skin is not positioned as a deficit, but rather understood as the source of Blackness. Interactive workshop means that we will not only deal with workshop themes on a theoretical level, but also work with our bodies, moving, feeling, and understanding them.
At the end, we’ll get creative! So feel free to bring (recent) photos of yourselves. There will be an opportunity to be photographed for the whydarkskinmatters photo series after the workshop. Participation in the photo shoot is completely voluntary. The workshop is exclusively for queer and trans* darkskin Black, African, and Afro-diasporic people.

A QTIBIPOC Event for our queer hobby astrologists, to gain more knowledge in the basic of Hellenistic astrology and more!
If you want to move beyond pop astrology, join the ‚Astrology 101: Workshop Series‘. We get to the basics of Hellenistic astrology and make sense of the cosmic chaos together.
This is a workshop series and every week a different theme will be covered, for instance:
-The 12 Archetypes and Signs: more than just your birthday.
-The Planets: characters in your personal story.
-The Houses: Where the magic (and the mess) happens in life
-Aspects: How the different parts communicate
No experience needed. Only your curiosity (and birth time)!
Taye (he/they) is a political educator by day and an alchemist by night because they like to believe that complexity holds meaning. They have been a Hellenistic astrologer for 13+ years and are currently a student of Vedic Astrology and Tarot. Their astrological approach is holistic, interpretive and trauma-informed and is dedicated to deciphering complexity through the astrological chart.
🍄snacks are provided
🍄Wheelchair accessible venue via elevator + accessible toilet
This event is for QTIBIPOC (Queer, Trans, Inter people who are also Black, Indigenous and People of Color) only.

@deraluce (he/him) Dera is a Nigerian-American interdisciplinary storyteller who calls Berlin home. His art/work explores queerness, spirit economics, shifting realities, and other extraordinary experiences that he is still finding the words for.
Workshop: Free Will (LOL): A Cheat Code for Navigating Oppressive Systems
This workshop explores free will, agency, boundaries, and autonomy against the context of ancestral influence and the personal spiritual guide known in Igbo ontology as chi. Participants will examine how agency emerges under constraint, how choice is shaped by internal energy and relational networks, and how Black communities have exercised free will through both covert and overt resistance.
Through a combination of interactive games, lecture, discussion, and grounding practices, participants will explore how choice arises under constraint, consider alignment with their chi, and situate personal agency within social, ethical, and ancestral frameworks.

Mandhla is a 28 year old multimedia performance artist based in Berlin bringing a blend of experimental R&B/Soul music intertwined with visual projections and dance.
Her art explores the daily trials that femme* immigrant bodies experience with self, identity and acceptance. She promises to takes you to a world of divine epiphanies through fierce queer representation and black femme* power.
workshop:
Unlock Your Femininity
Through the colonial lens, femininity has been warped and pathologised as something foreign, oppressive, and weak to our bodies. Many of us have been taught to distrust softness, to shrink our expression, and to fear the depth of the power carried in our gestures, voices, and presence.
This workshop invites participants to gently interrogate those inherited narratives and reconnect with the embodied wisdom of our ancestors. Together, we will explore our lived experiences of expression, reclaim historical beauty in unapologetic being, and engage dance forms from Ballroom culture as celebration, resistance, and affirmation through sound, movement, and collective exploration.
