Tea & Tarot was intended as a cozy, reflective gathering focused on history, art, and personal reflection, led by a lawyer who approaches tarot from a thoughtful, even skeptical lens.

That said, we’ve heard the concerns in the community and, out of respect, have decided to cancel the event for now.

We’re grateful for the interest and will continue creating opportunities to gather in ways that feel aligned for our community.
