$75 per person
This unique ritual is rooted in the Romani tradition and is led by Jezmina Von Thiele, a Romani-American author, educator, and resident tarot, palm, and tea leaf reader at Deadwick’s. Through the art of tasseomancy, or reading tea leaves, connect with your spirit guides to dive into shadow work. Shadow work is a term to describe methods to process challenging beliefs or emotions, and meet yourself with compassion and self-acceptance, even when it’s scary. Jezmina creates a safe and respectful space for learning, reflection, and connection, guiding you step-by-step through the process.
During this ritual, you will:
-Sip a specially chosen herbal tea while setting your intentions
-Discuss the benefits and intentions of shadow work
-Participate in a guided meditation to invite your spirit guides
-Learn how to read symbols in your tea leaves using Romani techniques
-Receive insights and guidance based on your reading
You’ll leave with a deeper sense of connection to your own intuition, your guides, and the tradition of tasseomancy. This is a great opportunity to learn from a teacher raised in this tradition in a supportive, inclusive environment.
Bring a journal and a pen to record your insights.
All are welcome—no experience necessary. Space is limited, so reserve your spot in advance.
