You are invited! Please join us for a Metaphysical Meetup in Asheville!
This is for all spiritual seekers, psychics, mystics, tarot readers, healers, and anyone interested in learning more about spirituality. No matter where you are on your journey, you are welcome here. :)
We begin by having everyone do quick introductions to share what they’re into metaphysically and if they have any offerings they want to share, then we all mingle and hang out.
If you’re wanting to swap services or do readings, that is welcome here. We also have reference books and oracle decks to dive into if the socializing gets too overwhelming for the introverts.
