ARCHE/ARCANUM: An Embodied Journey Through the Tarot's Major Arcana

ARCHE/ARCANUM: An Embodied Journey Through the Tarot's Major Arcana

Mar 29 2025 · Awakenings Wellness Center

The 22 cards of the tarot’s major arcana can be seen as an archetypal map – a menu of ancestral image-meanings, patterned across human cultures with incredibly deep holdings on our souls. To embody a card of the tarot is to consciously enact the archetype and allow oneself to connect with the enlivening energies that it represents. Our journey will begin with the fool (boundless energy, chaos and total freedom) and end with the world (realization, totality, unification). We will physically, emotionally, sonically and spiritually move through this map of the soul.
 This immersive theatre piece is modeled off a short-form LARP (live action role play) called Superrealism by Lauri Lukka. The structure of the LARP is retained, but the content is highly modified to fit the architecture of the tarot. IMPORTANT: This event requires participants arrive at the beginning all together and commit to the entirety of the 4 hours. You will have options to opt-out of anything once you begin, but participants must begin together.
