In the totality of the universe, each being connects to each other and can function as signs. But signs work only if we know how to read them.

We live in a world where we don’t learn ways of knowing other than the scientific. Our connection with divine and magical knowledge is cut. We have been gaslighted historically by the modern culture that told us not to listen to our intuition, to let go of the divine inside us, losing our health and well-being as a result. Practices of intuitive clairvoyance, divination and fortune telling have survived as caricature of what they had once been – collective activities that helped individuals and communities put their lives in perspective. 

In an attempt to bring clairvoyance back to our lives in these turbulent times, we organized three workshops where we practiced different methods of clairvoyance. This workshop series will be run by the artist, historian and professional clairvoyant Sanem Su Avcı. We accept that everybody can delve into clairvoyance, that talent is developed through practice, practice is improved by knowledge-sharing. 

The first two workshops were in an indoor space, where the attendees were introduced to more structured methods of clairvoyance through cup reading and tarot. The third workshop was in an urban forest, where the methods practiced in the previous meetings were applied in nature. We tried to reach knowledge about ourselves and about the future through observing ants, clouds, birds and trees. In July of 2024 we had the final workshop out among trees and animals of the urban landscape to see what they have to tell us about the past, the present and the future. In this workshop we met in Akadimia Platonos and attentively observed the various beings in the park, to see what they had to tell us about what has come and what is yet to come.
