SUMMARY:Messages and Meditations with Mike and Courtney in the Salt Cave
DESCRIPTION:Some nights offer more than insight—they offer a shift. In this intimate 2-hour gathering\, you’ll be guided through a unique experience designed to help you receive meaningful messages\, reflect on where you are\, and walk away feeling more grounded\, clear\, and connected. With only 10 spots available and several experienced readers\, every participant will receive a personal reading through mediumship or card readings. Whether you’re carrying something heavy\, standing at a crossroads\, or just feeling the pull for something deeper\, this evening is a chance to pause and listen. We’ll begin with a short grounding to set the tone\, then move into readings that often touch on what you didn’t realize needed to be heard. To close\, we’ll drop into a gentle guided meditation to help you process and integrate what came through—so you leave not just with insight\, but with peace. You don’t need to believe in anything in particular—just come with an open mind\, a little curiosity\, and a willingness to be present.
