WHAT AN EVENING!

SPIRITUAL EVENTS AT THE COTERIE! Thursday evening was something very different; Georgie, our host, has her own way of doing things, which is different- well, it was for me. The spiritual evenings I have been to involve a 1-1 reading of cards or a group setting where it is just luck if you are picked for a message.
