So many choices each session, and I can be at only one workshop!<\/p>\n<p>Friday night I arrived too late to do anything more than check in, eat dinner, and pass out.  Saturday morning, I faced my first round of choices &#8211; never easy!<\/p>\n<p>I started the day with <a href=\"http:\/\/marygreer.wordpress.com\/\" title=\"Mary Greer's Blog\" target=\"_blank\">Mary Greer&#8217;<\/a>s workshop on &#8220;Life As A Dream&#8221;.  Mary did a short presentation on her theory and her experience teaching this workshop in other settings.  The idea is to relate a life event as if one is retelling a dream, and interpret the event as one would interpret a dream.  After Mary explained the theory, we paired off and took turns going through the process.  My partner was great to work with, and we learned a lot about each other and ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>The next session was a fun workshop with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lonmiloduquette.com\/\" title=\"Lon Milo DuQuette\" target=\"_blank\">Lon Milo DuQuette<\/a> presenting &#8220;Ask Baba-LON&#8221;.  Lon shared excerpts from his upcoming book, and took some great questions from the audience.  Lon also treated us to a few songs, which are available on his CD from his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lonmiloduquette.com\/\" title=\"Lon Milo DuQuette\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After a break for lunch, I attended <a href=\"http:\/\/www.davidskibbins.com\/\" title=\"David Skibbins\" target=\"_blank\">David Skibbins<\/a>&#8216; presentation, bearing the intriguing title of &#8220;Saving the World, One Murder at a Time.&#8221;   David is the author of the Warren Ritter mystery series, which is the only murder mystery series to feature a Tarot reader as the mystery solver.  David spoke on finding ways to share your passion in the world and transforming it into your livelihood, which was inspiring and motivating.<\/p>\n<p>Then it was time for  nap &#8211; the late night on Friday (arriving after a long day at the day job)  caught up with me, and despite the interesting workshops on offer, a nap was essential to ensure I would be able to attend the evening sessions.<\/p>\n<p>I woke up in time to meet <a href=\"https:\/\/tarotpathways.com\/?page_id=59\" title=\"Rosered\" target=\"_blank\">Rosered<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/tarotpathways.com\/?page_id=59\" title=\"Andrew\" target=\"_blank\">Andrew<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/tarotpathways.com\/?page_id=59\" title=\"Artemis\" target=\"_blank\">Artemis<\/a>, and his wife for dinner.\u00a0 They presented me with a wonderful gift &#8211; a pale blue polo shirt with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tarot-to-go.net\" title=\"Tarot-To-Go\" target=\"_blank\">Tarot-To-Go<\/a> logo embroidered on it!\u00a0 They found a place to do the custom embroidery, and had it done as a surprise for me.\u00a0 I was quite touched &#8211; such a nice gesture!\u00a0 We ate and talked about Tarot and the workshops we&#8217;d been to that day &#8211; with so much variety, we&#8217;d all managed to attend entirely different sessions!<\/p>\n<p>After dinner, I thought I&#8217;d catch another quick nap to rest up before the evening sessions.\u00a0 The quick nap turned into 12 hours of sleep!\u00a0 Turns out I was (unsuccessfully) fighting off a cold. I missed all kinds of wonderful things, but getting 12 hours of sleep made it possible for me to make it to some workshops on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ah, PantheaCon!
