April 22nd Discussion | Frankenstein
The Empress | The Emperor | Justice
This night looks at the consequences of creation without foresight. Using Mo Frankenstein as a modern myth, we explore generativity, structure, and responsibility. This is a grounded, thoughtful evening focused on what it means to create, contain, and remain accountable for what we bring into the world.
The event will take place at the Little James in Savannah!
Space is limited.
salon-style storytelling experience
Tarot cannot be fully taught through words alone.
Its symbols live through myth, image, culture, language, and—most importantly—the lived experience of the person encountering them. Meaning is not fixed; it is shaped by perception.
The Secret Garden explores this truth through story, revealing patterns & exploring ancient and modern themes throughout our world.
A tale as old as time
This is not a tarot reading and not a workshop.
It is a salon-style storytelling experience—intentional, reflective, and participatory—where tarot is encountered as a living symbolic language rather than something to be memorized.
Guests gather in circle and are invited into conversation, reflection, and shared meaning-making.
No prior tarot knowledge is needed.
Only curiosity, presence, and a willingness to listen.
The Empress
The Empress represents the moment creation asks to be nurtured — not just brought to life, but cared for and sustained.
THe emperor
The Emperor represents the moment you are called to take responsibility — to create structure, hold authority, and stand behind what you’ve initiated.
Justice
Justice represents the moment consequences become clear — where you are asked to face the impact of your creations with honesty and accountability.

HOST
Shena Tarie
Shena Tarie creates curated storytelling experiences rooted in archetype, symbolism, and lived human experience. She uses tarot not as a predictive tool, but as a narrative framework — a way to explore the patterns people live inside and the choices they make within them. With over twenty years of experience, she approaches the cards as a language of meaning, similar to literature, mythology, or psychology. Rather than focusing on fixed definitions, she’s interested in how each archetype reveals itself in real life — through change, desire, power, responsibility, and growth.
Through Arcana: A Storytelling Series, Shena hosts thoughtfully designed gatherings that feel more like conversations than performances. Her work centers on symbolic literacy — helping people recognize archetypal patterns in stories, relationships, and their own lives. Instead of offering answers, she creates space for reflection and recognition, where insight arises naturally and learning becomes embodied.

Sam Howarth
Sam Howarth is a guide for visionary souls who find themselves in the in-between — the space where something old no longer fits and something new is asking to emerge. She weaves together energetics, embodiment, business strategy, and symbolic insight to help people realign with their natural rhythm and build lives and brands that feel sustainable, sovereign, and true.
Her work bridges intuition and structure, depth and practicality. Rather than offering rigid formulas, Sam creates spaces for clarity, recalibration, and powerful forward movement. Through immersive experiences, strategy sessions, and curated gatherings, she helps people return to their own authority — so they can create, lead, and live without pushing against themselves.
This isn't your average Tarot event | This is a tale as old as time told through the stories of the cards we have grown to know and love that will teach you how to identify and connect with the stories in your life as well.
