The Experience

RITUAL | An Intentional Tea Ceremony

Your evening begins with a choice.

At our ritual tea bar, you'll discover four thoughtfully curated herbal blends, each paired with an intention:

GROUND — Return to yourself.
RELEASE — Make space for what comes next.
RESTORE — Reconnect with what nourishes you.
CALL IN — Welcome possibility.

Choose the ritual that speaks to you, prepare your tea, and settle into the sanctuary.

Through gentle grounding and mindful reflection, we'll explore the intention you've chosen and carry it with us into the evening.

INTUITION | Exploring the Art of Tarot

Guided by astrologer and tarot reader Malorie, we'll explore tarot as a practice of symbolism, self-inquiry, and intuitive reflection.

Through an introduction to the cards, a guided collective experience, and interactive exploration in pairs or small groups, you'll be invited to discover the imagery, meanings, and personal reflections that emerge.

Rather than searching for answers outside ourselves, we'll approach the cards with curiosity, using them to open conversations, explore perspectives, and deepen our relationship with our own intuition.

Your chosen tea intention will become a thread throughout this experience, offering a personal point of reflection as you explore the cards.

Whether you're familiar with tarot or encountering it for the first time, this is a space to learn, explore, and connect without expectation.

INTEGRATION | Reflection & Restorative Sound

As the evening unfolds, we'll move from exploration into stillness.

Through gentle journaling and guided reflection, you'll have an opportunity to consider what resonated with you and what you might carry forward.

Then, settle into the warmth of your blankets for a restorative sound bath, allowing the mind to quiet and the experience to settle.

We'll close by returning to the intention you chose at the beginning of the evening, creating space for gratitude, connection, and whatever meaning you've discovered along the way.

A Few Things to Know

Do I need experience with tarot?
Not at all. This experience is designed to welcome both curious beginners and those already familiar with tarot.

Will I receive a personal tarot reading?
The evening centers on guided tarot exploration, collective reflection, and interactive activities in pairs or small groups rather than traditional private readings.

Where will we gather?
Our experience takes place beneath the covered, open-air pavilion at The Alma Sanctuary. November evenings can be chilly, so we encourage cozy layers and warm socks. Blankets and heaters will be available, with a fire planned as conditions permit.
