A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to read tarot at the UK launch of Pathfinder, a non-alcoholic liqueur made from fermented hemp. The event was held in a bar in Manchester City Centre, and they asked me to bring tarot to this corporate event. Going in, I didn’t fully know what to expect, but the experience reaffirmed why tarot for corporate events works so well. Here’s a look back at the event and what it taught me about bringing tarot into the corporate world.
Tarot for Corporate Events: The Planning and Setup
The Initial Invite and Preparing for the Event
When the organisers reached out to me, I didn’t know much about the product they were launching, but I was excited to bring tarot to the table. I had done a few corporate tarot gigs before, but I still wasn’t sure how it would play out in a busy bar with music and a crowd. Still, I prepared my tarot kit and made sure I had everything I needed for the night, including my business cards, which offered a discount for follow-up readings.
Creating the Right Setup for Corporate Tarot
For this event, the venue was a bar in the heart of Manchester City Centre, and I was given a small table to work from. With incense burning and some low lighting, the atmosphere was perfect for setting up tarot. I laid out my cloth, placed a few crystals on the table, and set up my deck, ready to bring corporate tarot readings to the guests.
First Impressions of Pathfinder: The Drink Behind the Event
Pathfinder is a non-alcoholic spirit with an intense, bold flavour, inspired by the mysteries of the Old West. I didn’t know much about it before I arrived, but once I learned the theme, tarot felt like a perfect fit for the evening. There’s something about the mysticism of tarot that complemented the apothecary vibes of Pathfinder’s branding.
Delivering Tarot Readings at a Corporate Event
Starting Off: My First Reading of the Night
After setting up, I sat at my table waiting for the event to get into full swing. I was booked from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., and I’ll be honest, for the first 10 to 20 minutes, I was starting to worry no one would come over. But then, one brave guest approached, and the readings began. That first reading was a three-card spread, quick and to the point, but impactful. From that moment on, word spread about the tarot readings, and I didn’t stop reading until the night was over.
Building Momentum: Tarot Readings Back-to-Back
Once the first guest sat down, I was back-to-back with readings for the rest of the night. Each reading was about 5 to 10 minutes, and most of the people who came over had never had a tarot reading before. That’s one of the things I love about tarot at corporate events—introducing people to tarot for the first time and showing them how powerful it can be. Even in a loud, fast-paced environment, the readings resonated deeply with people, and it was amazing to see their reactions.
Navigating the Challenges of a Loud Venue
Reading tarot in a loud bar presents its own challenges. Between the music and the general noise of the venue, I had to raise my voice and focus extra hard to deliver accurate readings. It wasn’t the quiet, meditative environment I’m used to, but it was a great reminder that tarot can still be just as impactful in unexpected settings. Plus, the energy of the crowd added to the excitement of the night.
A Memorable Encounter with the Creator of Pathfinder
Reading Tarot for the Creator
As the night progressed, I had one particularly memorable reading with the creator of Pathfinder himself. Toward the end of the evening, a man sat down at my table for a reading, and I didn’t know who he was at first. After the reading, he asked what I thought of the drink, and I told him I enjoyed it. That’s when he introduced himself as the creator, which added a whole new level to the experience.
Impressions of the Pathfinder Drink
The Pathfinder liqueur itself was bold and aromatic, and as someone who doesn’t drink alcohol, I appreciated having a non-alcoholic option that still had complexity and depth. I sipped on a cocktail made with Pathfinder throughout the evening, and I even got a little goodie bag with a bottle of it to take home.
Feedback from the Creator on the Tarot Reading
After the reading, the creator mentioned how accurate and helpful the reading had been for him. That’s something I hear often at tarot for corporate events—people are surprised at how personal the readings feel, even in such a fast-paced setting. It’s moments like these that remind me of how powerful tarot can be, regardless of the environment.
Why Tarot is a Great Fit for Corporate Events
Introducing People to Tarot at Corporate Events
One of the reasons I love doing tarot for corporate events is because it’s often the first time many people experience tarot. At the Pathfinder launch, the majority of the guests who sat down for a reading had never had one before, and it was a joy to introduce them to it. Corporate events like this offer a perfect opportunity to make tarot more accessible and fun.
Offering Something Unique at Product Launches
Bringing tarot to a corporate event like a product launch adds an element of intrigue and mystique. People are curious, and tarot readings are a great way to engage guests in a personal and meaningful way. Whether it’s a product launch, an office party, or any other kind of corporate gathering, tarot readings create a memorable experience that keeps people talking.
