Vietnam and Moone Bears in Laos

Visit the Moon Bears in Laos

In September 2012, I visited Vietnam and Laos.

To visit Vietnam and see for myself the history behind this beautiful country was absolutely stunning.

Then to visit Laos and see the Moon Bears Sancutary in Luang Prabang, that the 'LunaBears Lads and Ladys' sponsor was a dream come true.

The LunaBears Lads and Ladys started in 2008, around the time that the Free The Bears organisation opened the Laos Sancutary. There was 10 of us when we first came together and we sponsored a Moon Bear cub called 'Dinh'. Then we sponsored fellow cubs 'Lom' and 'Fa'.

Today there are over 30 LunaBears Lads and Ladys and we are proud to support the Free the Bears organisation and sponsor the whole of the Tat Kuang Xi Sancutary in Luang Prabang, Laos.

4th Year Health Week at Westin Melbourne

Emma and Ruanna

I have been honoured once again to be asked to perform Tarot Readings for the employees of the Westin Hotel in Melbourne.

Every year the Westin holds a Health Week for their staff, where they invite masseurs and other fun things to do to support their staff.

Its my 4th year in a row doing Tarot Readings for them, and it is wonderful to see the employees year after year, to catch up with them and see what they have accomplished throughout the year.

Here I am with Emma taking our traditional photo at the end of the day.

3rd Anniversary of Healers Market

Helen, Ruanna, Clemm & Cathryn

Congratulations to Louise and the team for achieving the 3rd anniversary of the Moonee Ponds Healers Market yesterday the 5th August 2012.

Everyone that came dressed up did including the guests and clients and regular visitors to the market. The day was topped off literally with cake and cream for all to end the 3rd year celebrations.

A big thank you also goes to everyone that comes along to support this little market, and thank you also to all the stall holders for without them the market wouldn't happen. Our collective goal is to raise funds for the Ian Gawler Foundation.

The market will be open now on the run to Xmas. Come along to the next market and support us!

Sunday 2nd September, Sunday 7th October, Sunday 4th November, Sunday 2nd December.

Hope to see you there :)

Master Khor Palm Workshop

I don't usually offer my Tarot shop for others to run their workshops in its just not set up for it, but when I met the lovable character Master Tong Nee Khor I relented.

Two separate workshops were held both 2 hours each where Master Khor proceeded to relinquish some of his secrets in reading Palms.

The International Feng Shui Assoc brought Master Khor out to Australia and there were a combination of both Tarot and Feng Shui students that participated in these workshops.

It was an honour to have Mater Khor doing his workshops at Tarot in Action.

Sydney MBS Festival

Lauren, Anne, Vicki, Cinzia, Shaki & Ruanna

Once again the Mind Body Spirit Festival proved to be another huge success this year in Sydney.

Every time I'm there I make distinctions with how hugely popular the Mind Body Spirit Festival actually is, the queues are long!! No matter if in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane, people are searching, seeking answers and new ways to transform themselves for the better. This year the MBS will be going to Adelaide late September!

It was wonderful to hear Merv Harvey being acknowledged this year for all his efforts, time and love that he puts into creating the space for all us readers. He looks after each and everyone of us, from setting up photos, online bookings and for providing and collating a feedback system.

The huge MBS banner Main Stage

Another distinction I made was that the huge reading room that Merv organises is imperative for attracting the majority of people to the MBS Festival. This is a another huge responsibility for us readers to provide excellent service to our customers.

I have made wonderful friends from all around Australia from my participation in the MBS Festivals and I have also met wonderful people that have become regular clients and or students of the Tarot in Action programs.

Heaps of Specialness...

Healers Market with Granpa Maynard

The Healers Market that I attend every month is very special and every now and then we are visited by special people.

That was the case with April's Market when we were visited by an Inupiaq (Alaskan) Elder Grandpa Maynard Eakan.

Grandpa Maynard went around the market and spoke with everyone, he shared his message and there were people lined up to speak with him all day.

We have the opportunity to have this gorgeous Medicine Man here in Australia for the whole year, speaking engagements are being arranged and raffles and fundraisers are being organised to fund his stay. Will keep you posted!!

Here we are in the photo L-R: Ruanna, Louise the Healers Market organiser, Grandpa Maynard and Karen (Turtle Woman)
