Private Natural Hot Spring Excursion
We'll meet you at our hidden desert location and guide you to the private, natural mineral hot springs for your 2 hours of soothing soaking. We'll take a short trail flanked by the distant San Bernardino mountain range as we traverse the unique desert flora and discuss the origins of the natural mineral hot springs. As you step behind a natural blind, the pair of vintage clawfoot tubs come into view, vibrantly restored and strategically positioned to help you fully absorb the majestic views. Fresh, untouched 102-degree mineral water fills the tubs and constantly replenishes at a rate you control. At this point, we leave you to slip into your bathing suit behind privacy blinds, and then slide into the awaiting tubs. You will quickly feel the odorless thermae begin to work its magic, delivering life-giving minerals that soothe and relax the body. During your soak, you will have plenty of privacy on the expansive 20-acre property, and, in case you would need anything, we do remain close enough to be accessible. As the experience comes to a close, we will escort you back to the entrance, refreshed and revived with the power of the ancient waters.

Experience Amazing Horsehair Raku
This 2-hour experience allows each guest to pick from a variety of pre-made pots. Horsehair "Raku" during the experience uses a technique of applying horsehair, feathers, and/or sawdust to red hot pots. The carbon in these items transfer suddenly to the pot and are permanent. This method is eye-popping and amazing. Any age can do it. I recommend children be at least 10 and able to be respectful to other guests. I am sometimes a little corny, but very capable of sharing the How-To's, mixed with some history and other uses of clay. I am very good at coaching, and helping guest achieve a decorated raku pot that they are excited to take home. This is the kind of experience that will be fondly remembered for a lifetime.

Private Tarot Reading
You can choose between a regular reading, OR a past life reading. Regular Reading: My Tarot readings are designed to help you identify the dominant themes of a specific situation or issue in your life. Although I make predictions, I believe in free will and the possibility/freedom to change things if what is said does not suit us. My predictions can be changed according to your goodwill. Past Life Reading: I will draw a 14 card-spread (taught to me by a Native American Medicine Woman from the Cherokee nation) to look into one of your past lives, your environment, childhood, education, occupation, social status, accomplishments, relationships, family life, and death. You will gain insight into the nature of your soul coming into this past life, as well as the lesson to be learned and how your current life is affected. NOTE: I am neither a doctor nor a financial advisor. I will not read about health, nor give you financial advice. I will share all information I receive from my guides though, and encourage you to make your own decisions.
