Tarot & Sketch : Slow After Work
Varva ner efter jobbet och släpp loss din kreativitet på Tarot & Tekning. Denna unika afterwork kombinerar tarots mystiska värld med den avslappnande konsten att teckna. Guidad av en tarotläsare drar du ett kort som talar till dig och använder dess symbolik och energi för att inspirera din egna kreativa uttryck genom teckning. I en lugn och mysig miljö får du en tarotläsning, alla material du behöver för att teckna, samt läckra snacks att njuta av under tiden. För att lyfta upplevelsen serveras även alkoholfritt bubbel. Ingen tidigare erfarenhet av teckning behövs—kom med din nyfikenhet och vilja att utforska. Tarot & Tekning är det perfekta sättet att avsluta dagen, där introspektion, konst och gemenskap möts i en fridfull atmosfär.
