About the Contractor
Shelley is excited to bring her 30 year tarot practice to guests of the Althea Crystal Retreat!! while recognizing the predictive aspects of the cards, she uses the tarot more-so as a tool to connect us to ourselves. To illuminate what we already know, and just as often, to what we don’t. To encourage the release of our knowing – our own insights – into our day to day experiences of love, spirit, family, work, creativity…all of it! Doors open. And in so doing, we live our very best lives❣️
