The Hit List – Brushes and Cards

Last Sunday marked the maiden voyage of Brushes and Cards, a collaboration with intuitive painter, Chris Zydel. This day-long event combined painting, tarot, and intuition – with a side of gourmet food.

Chris is a dear friend of mine and we were hyped to spend a whole day together. We like to say that this was the reason we created the event! Ha ha!

Our concept: pick a card, sit with it. Then, without using the card as a guide, paint your rendition of it. Once everyone was finished, we spent time as a group interpreting the symbols and paintings – and I also shared tarot-fueled insights on the traditional meaning versus what I saw in the paintings.

It was revelatory, intense, delicious, and FUN.

Here are some pictures from the event:

We had so much fun – and there was a wait list. Which means: this will be coming back again in 2018. Stay tuned…
