Vernon’s psychics will gather April 8 at The Threads That Bind Us for a Mini-Psychic Fair to do readings to benefit Vernon’s sister city, Tome, Japan.
“I haven’t been able to stop watching the news,” said Diane Morrison, a Tarot reader and the shop’s owner.
“And I feel such overwhelming sadness. I want to help and it seems so overwhelming. When I realized that one of our sister cities was right in the path of the tsunami, it made it something personal, instead of something that happened ‘over there.’ Isn’t that what sisters are for, to help each other in times of need?”
Admission is a minimum $2 donation for the relief effort and then $10 buys 15 minutes of a single service from one of the Threads That Bind Us psychics or healers. Options include Tarot card or object readings, channeled psychic readings, communications with those who have passed on, numerology or basic astrology consultations. People can also choose short Thai or western massages, Reiki, Healing Matrix, Iridology and muscle testing, herbalism or shamanic healing consultations, chakra balancing, crystal healing or Reconnective Healing. Morrison will also be donating half of whatever she makes to the relief effort as well.
Mini-Psychic Fairs have supported a number of causes in the past, including the Vernon Women’s Centre, the Horse Rescue Society, Pagan Pride, Run for the Cure, Pagans in Need, Yuletide Charity, the Vernon Food Bank, Santas Anonymous and local fire/rescue efforts.
The Mini-Psychic Fair takes place April 8 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at The Threads That Bind Us (3004B – 31 St). For more information call 250-540-0341 or see www.thethreadsthatbindus.net.
