Charts of Creative Minds by Chris Kaplan

Charts of Creative Minds

Birth charts of the writers and artists whose work changed how we see. A chart won't explain genius, but it does show the shape of the vessel — how a particular person was built to receive.

DESERT MAGIC AND LIMINAL SPACES

Join artist and tarot deck creator Nat Girsberger for a conversation on the wild aliveness of the desert, the art of presence, and the creative process of making the Radiant Wilds Tarot and Wild Whispers Oracle.

Together, they explore the role of liminal spaces in art, the dance between shadow and light, and the intuitive journey of creation. Nat shares insights on collage, visual storytelling, astrology, and why embracing the unknown is essential for creative flow.
