Holiday Open House 2019 a Success!
Our psychic and healing community gathered to celebrate the holidays and raise food for those in need.
Our annual Holiday Open House was held at my new office in Palm City on Sunday, December 19. You can check out videos and photos on my Facebook business page.
We raised 507 pounds of food for the Treasure Coast Food Bank. Readers and healers came to volunteer from as far away as Pennsylvania and Saint Petersburg.
Throughout the course of the day we had eighteen readers and two healers sharing their skills. Our four volunteer hosts made sure things ran smoothly.
Most years when I write about this event I write about its humble origins in Putnam, Connecticut, when I was the only reader for an afternoon of free readings.
This year, I want to focus on the energy that drives this event year after year, making it bigger and better with each year that passes.
The energy is generosity; radical, revolutionary generosity. We who are busy, we who are businesspeople, we who have hundreds of things to do and never enough time to get them done, we volunteer our time and skill, bring donations of food, travel great distances and share of ourselves, each in our own ways. It’s a community effort, and an effort that requires each person to muster that one important energy, the energy of generosity.
I believe that the more generous we are, the more we will receive. The more we bless others, the more we, ourselves will be blessed.
Thank you to the many, many people who volunteered and attended Holiday Open House 2019.

Fourteen readers and healers and a community of caring people came together to raise food for those in need.
Holiday Open House 2018
Giving Back to Our Community
On Sunday, December 23rd Tarot Circle of the Treasure Coast Meetup and I joined forces to create another successful Holiday Open House. This was the second largest Holiday Open House in 20 years, and I am confident that next year’s will be even better.
This year I moved the event from the Palm City Professional Building to Unity of Stuart, which turned out to be the perfect place for us. We had ten readers in the classroom, four readers and healers outside in the courtyard, and two volunteers assisting me in the kitchen where we greeted folks, offered snack and collected the contributions for Treasure Coast Food Bank.
Everyone working at the event was a volunteer. We were so busy that, halfway through, when tarotist Barbara O’Brien came through to get a reading for herself I pressed her into service, making her another of our volunteers.
John took the food we collected to Treasure Coast Food Bank on December 26. We had raised over five hundred pounds of food and $200 to help those in our area who are food insecure.
I am so grateful to everyone who working with me to make this annual event happen. I look forward to working with you again in December 2019.
I am also grateful to the many people who took time out of their busy holiday schedules to generously bring donations for the food bank in exchange for sessions with our readers and healers.
It’s always great to see old friends and meet new ones at these events, and to watch tarot students blossom into readers. I’m also happy to give our greater community an opportunity to sit with some of the area’s best-known readers and healers, as well as to meet some new talent.
Special thanks to our readers and healers, Mary Ellen Collins, Blue Evans, Ambika Devi, Mark Gross, Shasana, Tyrone, Gerri, Lee, Donna Diroma, Barbara O’Brien, Sherry Adrame, Julie, Maureen S., Tyronne, and Ruby Hands. Thanks also to my helpers for the day, and to Unity of Stuart for working with me to arrange this event.
