In this workshop\, Enríquez shares his phenomenological approach to the tarot that doesn’t focus on symbolism but rather on the way we can use our body experience to understand images. By contrasting the the medieval notion of symmetry with our current understanding of the way our brain makes meaning\, we will be able to apprehend the tarot’s language of shape. Enrique Enríquez is a visual thinker and tarot reader. In 2009 his ‘Gestural Keys to the Tarot’ were published as a prologue for the Jean Dodal tarot\, re-edited by Jean-Claude Flornoy. He has been called “one of the most brilliant minds in the tarot world of the 21st Century”\, by members of the international Association for Tarot Studies. The British Society of Mystery Entertainers described his work as one that “challenges many preconceptions about the tarot”. The cost of this workshop is $25.

The Magic City hustlers over at Foryoucansee will be

Books &\; Books in Coral Gables is taking a risk\, and giving them a
shot to do it legit one more time. This is the official release of the
second printing of Hialeah Haikus\, a collection of the Jpanese-style\, 5-7-5 syllable structure poems\, infused with an unmistakable Miamie flavor. A daring a ttendee will enjoy a Q&\;A session that will have you saying\, "\;****!"\; Or just in Espanol. The event is free. The book is $10.

Original photography in the book by Mathew Berkowitz.
Note\: This event is in Spanish. Julio Cortázar\: Este film\, de estilo documental\, aborda
la vida y obra de Julio Cortázar. A partir de diversas fuentes
históricas audiovisuales\, nos propone un recorrido cronológico que va
desde su azaroso nacimiento en Bélgica en 1914\, hasta su deceso\, casi 70
años más tarde\, en Francia. Pocos son los escritores que logran\, como
lo ha hecho Julio Cortazar desde sus primeros cuentos\, establecer con
sus lectores una relación de complicidad y diversión que se parece en
algo a la amistad. Son dos las dimensiones que fue desarrollando tanto
en su vida como en sus libros\: el juego y el compromiso que se necesitan
el uno al otro si se quiere que la realidad no nos aburra con sus
calamidades. Presentado en colaboración con el Centro Cultural
Argentino. 6\:30pm
In 1996-1997\, the Dolphins telepathically communicated to Frances Fox shocking information about the “ending of the world as we know it.” Frances was so disturbed by these messages that she put them away\, vowing never to share them with the world. In light of the cataclysmic earth changes happening on the planet today\, Frances was guided to revisit these messages with her book\, The Gods Speak\: Dolphin Wisdom Revealed ($15.99). In reviewing the Dolphin statements\, so upsetting in the past\, Frances found that they were actually great prophets. Their descriptions of how “the ending” was going to come about matched those found in the Book of Revelations\, and also described by the Mayans. The Dolphins remind us that the ending is the preamble for the next and last stage of human evolution\, the Golden Age. The Greeks considered the Dolphins Gods.
