Dear friends,
We’re delighted to invite you to *Mystic Collective Convergence* — a day devoted to connection, learning, and aligned growth.
This gathering is created by and for mystics, psychics, healers, dreamers, and kindred souls who feel called to come together in community. Whether you’re just beginning your path or have been walking it for years, you are welcome here exactly as you are.
*What to expect:*
* Two inspiring keynote speakers
* Two workshop tracks (you’ll choose the sessions that resonate most with you)
* Space for meeting, greeting, sharing, and building meaningful connections
* Time to learn, reflect, and simply be in community
*Location:* Centralia, Washington — conveniently located near the downtown train station.
This day is about more than information; it’s about alignment, presence, and gathering with others who share a sense of purpose, curiosity, and intuitive living.
Come as you are. Leave more aligned.
A follow-up email will be sent soon with details to select your preferred workshop sessions.
We can’t wait to gather with you.
