Tea & Tarot:  A Cacao, Sound & Vision Board Experience
Feb

Tea & Tarot: A Cacao, Sound & Vision Board Experience

By this time of year, many of us feel the quiet weight of abandoned New Year’s resolutions. Motivation fades, self-criticism creeps in, and those big, unrealistic goals start to feel heavy instead of inspiring.

This gathering is a gentle reframe.

Rather than pushing harder or doing more, we’re choosing something different: small, meaningful practices that feel supportive, nourishing, and sustainable. Feeling good doesn’t need to be complicated — it begins with presence, intention, and community.

Each Tea & Tarot event intentionally weaves together wellness, ritual, and connection — reminding you that your health and wellbeing are always within reach.

If you’re ready to slow down, reconnect, and put yourself first, this afternoon is for you.

How the Day Unfolds

1:00 – 2:00 PM | Arrival & Connection

Arrive, exhale, and settle in.
Connect with fellow guests, sip tea, and enjoy the cozy atmosphere. Weather permitting, you’re welcome to relax on one of our two outdoor patios — umbrellas provided, rain or shine.

2:00 – 2:30 PM | Cacao & Mini Sound Bath Ceremony

We’ll gather in circle as Amanda of Dawn Rising gently gently opens the space with a heart-centered cacao ceremony and grounding sound bath.

The experience includes:

  • Smudging to clear and settle energy

  • A ceremonial cacao offering to open the heart and connect inward

  • Soothing sounds from acoustic guitar, crystal bowls, and other instruments

This is your invitation to slow your nervous system, drop into your body, and fully arrive.

Amanda uses ceremonial-grade cacao from Blossoms Raw Chocolate. For this gathering, she has chosen the Sri Yantra blend, infused with rose, geranium, and orange blossoms—intentionally selected to gently open the heart and deepen connection before we move into the sound bath.

“Amanda is an incredible facilitator who radiates calming and soulful energy. She intuitively knows how to make people feel safe and supported.”
— Jenna

2:30 – 3:00 PM | Herbal Infusion Demonstration

Watch Necole guide a live herbal infusion as she demonstrates how to infuse coconut oil with our featured herb of the day, cedar.

This simple, calming ritual highlights how working with herbs can be approachable, practical, and deeply nourishing — no overwhelm required.

3:00 PM – Onwards | Vision Boards & Tarot

Set intentions for the year ahead through creativity and reflection.

You’ll receive:

  • A small cork board

  • Vision board materials to get started

Bring magazines, photos, or meaningful items if you’d like to personalize your board even more. We’ll gather around the table, create together, and let inspiration flow.

Optional Tarot Readings
Necole of Faded Living will offer personal tarot readings for an additional $35.
Sign-up is first come, first served.

Tarot sessions offer gentle, intuitive guidance — helping you reconnect with your inner wisdom and gain clarity around what’s unfolding in your life.

“Still vibing on the significance of that reading.”
— Trish

About the Tarot Readings

Necole offers intuitive tarot readings that serve as a channel for guidance, helping you find clarity and the answers you are seeking.

Corn Full Moon Circle

Corn Full Moon Circle

Our ninth Full Moon of creation is the Corn Moon on Tuesday, September 17, 2024. It marks the transition of Summer into Fall.

This Full Moon invites us to think about how we are elevating body, mind, and spirit so that we can contribute to raising the consciousness of the planet. Your unique medicine is needed at this time.

Join me for an evening of movement and breath work as we release all that no longer serves us so that we can shine brighter and radiate light into the world.

*Please note that the Zoom link to log in for class will be emailed to you the day before the circle begins.
