About the class
A poetic ritual for the threshold of a new year.
Manifesting Through Metaphor combines tarot pulls with the art of metaphor to guide you through three creative movements: release, receiving, and renewal. Each card becomes a symbolic invitation. What are you ready to let go of? What are you prepared to receive? What are you willing to grow?
Using a focused mini tarot spread such as release, receive, renew or past, present, future, you will translate image into language through structured generative prompts. Participants craft three short poems. One for release. One for manifestation. One for growth. Together, these pieces become affirmations or spells for the year ahead.
This workshop leans toward the mystical while remaining grounded in craft. Symbol becomes metaphor. Metaphor becomes direction. Direction becomes draft.
What Is Independent Study?
Independent Study is The Poetry Lab’s self-paced workshop format.
Each Independent Study is a complete BrainTrust class delivered through a structured digital classroom, designed for writers who prefer to move at their own pace. You receive the full workshop recording, slide deck, and guided writing prompts — all organized in a clean, intuitive Notion workspace.
This is not a replay clip or a downloadable PDF. It’s a full-length workshop experience, preserved and thoughtfully arranged for independent learning.
Independent Study is ideal for writers who want to:
Pause and reflect without time pressure
Revisit sections as their work evolves
Write deeply without the distraction of Zoom
Access craft instruction on their own schedule
Purchase once. Return whenever you need.
Please Note
This Independent Study includes lifetime access to the recorded workshop and materials. It does not include access to a live BrainTrust session.
