Vix Technology Xmas function

Ruanna Belinda and Friend

Love corporate events! Often I feel like Im the lucky one that gets to experience all the work mates celebrating another year of working together. You get to hear all the funny stories and share with them.

Here we are in Melbourne, in the lovely Alexander Gardens, near the boat sheds, having a feast! There were jugglers, magician with rabbits, carichature artist and myself the Tarot Reader!!

Santa even showed up to hand out the raffled presents and Max Walker cam along to share some of his stories as well.

In this photo, we have Belinda choosing the same card being 9 Pentacles hours apart. The team did a wonderful job of orchestrating this huge event, maybe the Tarot card was saying she wears many hats and to acknowledge all her many skills!

Thank you for having me, trust all the proceedings went well and everyone enjoyed the day and the Tarot card readings too.

LunaBears Picnic

LunaBears 2011

This is our 4th year running! We meet once a year in October to raise funds for Free the Bears Foundation.

There are still over 10,000 bears that need to be cared for. These Moon Bears, Sun Bears and Asiactic Bears are farmed for their bile, kept in restrictive cages, some dont ever get to see the Sun light.

At this stage there are 35 of us in the LunaBears club in Victoria alone. We raised $1,000 this year, not bad for a humble group of people committed to making a difference!

Together we support a Bear Sancutary in Laos and currently sponsoring 3 Bears. Lom and Fa are male Moon Bears and Dinh is a female Moon Bear. The names mean Earth, Sky and Sea. They were all rescued together and brought to the Laos Sancutary four years ago around the time we started the LunBears club.

Monthly Healers Market

All the stall holders standing with Shelley Calopa.

Every month for the past three years I have been holding a stall at the Moonee Ponds Healers Market. Its held on the first Sunday of the Month and the venue is the local Community Hall in Moonee Ponds.

In the first two years we raised over $3,000 and we presented this money to the Olivia Newton John Foundation.

This year we raised over $3,000 again, but this year we decided to donate the money to the Ian Gawler Foundation. They have been around for 28 years already and they do not get any government support, so it was really special that our little group was able to support them in our little big way!

I have made many new friends from our little community and together we are making a huge difference! Thank you Louise and team for their fabulous commitment. Please come on down and support us keep making that difference!

Ear Candling

Here I am with my client in my Moonee Ponds shop performing an Ear Candling healing.

It is a very warm calming and soothing healing process. Great for clearing any impurities from your ears.

You can see the ear candle burning away, and my client is covered with a blanket on the table totally relaxed. I also play gentle music in the background to give my client a totally wonderful experience.

I use Biosun Hopi Ear Candles they are garanteed products, and allow 45 mins for the whole process. If you would like an Ear Candling healing experience, please give me call to book in a session today.

Blessed Be!

University Ball

Natalie and Ruanna

We had the privilege to do Tarot readings for over 600 students from the Monash Unversity for their Annual University Ball.

It was held at the Flemington Racecourse in the gorgeous Atrium room.

It was all happening...it was loud, they were dancing, they were cueing up for everything, they were dressed for the 9s, everyone was having fun!

The tables were dresssed with an Arabian nights feel to them with huge white feathers as the centre pieces.

Along with us doing Tarots there were Henna Artists, Magicians, Belly Dancers, Comedians, Band, DJ, Photo booth, Palm readers...the lot!

Self Storage Annual Welcome Night

What a hoot!

Doing Tarot readings at the Melbourne Aquarium for the Self Storage Annual Welcome Conference.

What gorgeous surrounds to entertain your guests and staff.

Along with dinner and drinks, speical guests and staff were also offered Caricature drawings and Tarot Readings.


The Full Moon was on Sunday and here I find myself surrounded by water doing Tarot Readings at the Melbourne Aquarium.
 
Thank you to Susie for the opportunity and you can see by the photos how gorgeous the venue is...I can highly recommend using the Melbourne Aquarium facilities for very special evenings! 

Westin Melbourne

Ruanna and Emma

It was a great honour and privilege to be invited back once again to do Tarot readings for the Staff at the Westin Melbourne for their Wellbeing Week.

The staff are gorgeous and they are from all around the world, a real multi-cultural environment.

It was wonderful to see the same staff again a year later on and catch up with what they have been up to.

I felt the readings were on a much deeper level, maybe because they opened up a bit more, maybe they felt more comfortable having a Tarot reading the second time, or maybe because they trusted me more too!

Murrundindi at Healesville Sanctuary

Ruanna & Murrundindi

If you haven't had the opportunity to go to Healesville Sanctuary and see all the gorgeous Australian animals, do yourself a favour and just go!

To see and hear about the Dingoes was fabulous, to meet the resident Lyrebird, his name is Nova, to see the Bilby, feed Kanagroos and to watch our amazing Birds of Prey in the Flight Arena is really special.

Murrundi also works from the Healesville Sanctuary and his stories and  demonstrations with the Boomerang are sensational. Murrundindi is also a wonderful supporter of the GENI Foundation that I have been supporting for approx 20 years now, assisting us with the welcome speech every year.
