Psychic Readings at the Heart of the Evening, with Sound to Open and Close
In the spirit of the thinning veil—the seasonal invitation to explore mystery and intuition—we’ll come together for a welcoming evening of psychic readings, curiosity, and connection. Whether you’re new to readings or already enjoy them, come with an open mind and a question you’d like to explore.
Julie will begin with a centering and grounding practice using gentle guidance and sound, inviting everyone to settle, leave the day’s distractions behind, and become present for the readings. Afterward, closing sound will offer space to reflect, re-center, and ground before heading home.
Although dedicated mediumship readings are not being offered, Janis may share impressions or messages connected with spirits or loved ones who have passed. No particular message, connection, or outcome is guaranteed.

Check-in opens at 6:00 p.m. Please arrive early to sign your acknowledgment and waiver. General Entry question submissions close promptly at 6:25 p.m. Pen and paper will be available; write your question, fold it, and place it in the basket.
The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. with a brief welcome and time to settle, followed by opening guidance and sound with Julie at approximately 6:40 p.m.
Readings begin promptly at 7:00 p.m., when doors close. No entry will be permitted afterward. Please plan to arrive before the advertised 6:30 p.m. start.
