Palmistry 101 with Jezmina Von Theile
Thursday, October 1st at 6 pm $44 per person
In this Beginner Palmistry workshop, you will learn the basics of palm reading, and a number of techniques to help you trust your intuition and flex your seeing abilities. We will also briefly cover the origins of palmistry and how the persecution of Roma has shaped the culture's practice of and relationship to fortune telling.
Instructor Jezmina Von Thiele will teach you her perspective on the practice passed down from her grandmother, who in turn learned it from her grandparents, and so on. Some Romani spiritual beliefs and customs are kept private within the community, whereas others are given permission to share with an open heart.
Participants will be emailed a PDF of notes after the class.
