Book a tarot reading with Jin! 

Kathie's note: I met Jin on (in?) Caveday, a pretty fabulous online coworking space. Jin is one of the facilitators, aka Cave Guide, whose energy and presence I just loved from the beginning. Also, I had a really fun tarot reading with them. Again with the presence, and being fully engaged.
