Trinity Summer Fest 2015: North Jersey's Premier Metaphysical & Paranormal Festival

Hosted by the Trinity Metaphysical Center of Hamburg, NJ, North Jersey’s Premier Metaphysical and Paranormal Festival will feature live bands, entertainment, food, as well as practitioners and vendors.  Those who are on a journey to personal growth and seek inner strength and insight through the metaphysical will be enlightened by the many presentations and services.  Coming together from throughout the country, practitioners will provide services in psychic readings, energy healing, reflexology, massage therapy, yoga, henna art and so much more! 

Danielle Rose, an elemental healer and life-long medium of the faerie realm, shares, “I am excited to be offering readings and mini-healings at Summer Fest I’m also offering discounts on all future readings and healings booked this weekend!”  Additionally, she will sell hand made wings and other beautiful items at the Mind Key booth.  Danielle’s work is featured in The Mind Key Project: An Anthology, which will be available to take home this weekend. 

Joining her at the Mind Key Booth is Tara Lesko.  As an avid writer and artist, Tara says, “ I am excited to introduce my new art party business called Muses with Scissors.  Since this service is in-home and includes mixed media, collage, and poetry, Muses is a different take on the art party phenomena that has taken the country by storm.” Tara will provide free material for guests to use at the booth table.  Guests will have a chance to get crafty and even receive a free gift if they book their own party.  

Also at the Mind Key Booth are Carol Douglas, Kely Luzio-Cardona and Kathleen Santora.   Carol is an artist who teaches workshops in polymer and metal clay.  Kely is an artist and photographer with a whimsical touch.  Her creations include chocolate lollipops, party favors, and photographs.  Kathleen is a spiritual healer, trance healer and medium.  She’s also the author of Thoughts To Awaken The Spirit, a book of prayers to help open our mind and spirit.

Fantasy artist Dana Bree will offer power animal themed jewelry with loving and healing intentions.  Made from hand carved buffalo bone, quarts, beads, moldavite and other stones. Find large dragon and owl kites at her table, as well as Essentially Coconut, a body cream made from organic 100% virgin coconut oil and grapefruit essential oil designed to soften skin and aid in the elimination of cellulite.

Those seeking wisdom can visit the Raven Reiki Booth.  There, Vera Ann Remes, a Shamanic practitioner, Reiki and H3 Energy Healer will be utilizing new skills from her recent trip to the Michael Harner Shamanic Counseling Workshop.  Her card reading sessions incorporate essential oils, crystals and psychic intuition.  Also using Usui Reiki as a foundation, Reiki Ruth will assist those seeking energy healing by incorporating crystals, essential oils, angels, earth energy and Shamanic drumming.

Last but not least, Jane Doherty, world-renowned psychic medium, paranormal investigator and TV celebrity, will be available for readings. For more information visit her website http://www.janedoherty.com/. 

The creativity and positive energy surrounding this festival will enhance the lives of those guests looking for inner strength and healing. 

The Realm of Faerie by Danielle Rose

I’m so pleased to be a part of Trinity Summer Fest this weekend at the Sussex County Fairgrounds.  Although I will be in the company of many other intuitives, psychics and readers, I know that what I have to offer the metaphysical world is unique unto itself.

I’ve been in contact with the realm of faerie for as far back as my memory goes.  The faerie realm is a powerful energetic field that interacts with humanity on a very base level.  Just as angels are an intricate link between spirit and humanity, faeries link nature and and mother earth to those chosen to walk it - us.

The list of authors, artists, and healers who helped me recognize this truth are many and varied, but I would be remiss without mentioning Brian Froud, especially the light and color of his artwork as portrayed in The Faeries Oracle deck.  These faeries speak quite loudly to me (with many thanks to the encouragement of Jessica Macbeth) and eventually led me to one of the most fulfilling and purposeful careers in my life.  I learned to hone and trust  my intuitive abilities through hundreds of readings for others using Brian’s deck and others.

This weekend I will be sharing my readings as well as selling magical apparel and items such as hand made wings and herb-filled dream pillows and medicine bags for meditation with faerie.  Additionally I will be teaching workshops on plants and stones useful for contacting faerie, how to recognize if you’ve touched upon their (or another) realm, and elements of dreamwork.   There will also be faerie games for kids and adults, and instruction and hands-on practice communicating with the faeries yourself.


For families and those who like to be more hands-on, Saturday will bring a wing decorating workshop, how to make your own dream pillow or medicine bag, and fairy gardening crafts for even the youngest of fairy lovers.

I will also be spending plenty of time talking about Mind Key for those interested in learning more or in being a part of the Mind Key Project either as a business, artist or individual.

Please feel free to contact me at Danielle@MindKey.me to learn more, or stop by the fairgrounds Saturday and Sunday and see what magic arises!

Healing drum circle by Raven Reiki

Vera Ann Remes and Reiki Ruth Amarante of Raven Reiki will be sharing their light at Trinity Summer Fest this weekend by providing healing sessions, meditations, divination with natural objects, and a drum circle on Saturday evening, August 16^th. 

Reiki Master/Teacher and Drum Circle Facilitator, Vera Remes, has added the nuances of shamanic journeying, music, drumming, crystals and psychic intuition to the Usui Reiki she was taught, creating a modality of healing she has dubbed “Raven Reiki.”

Vera taught special needs students for over a decade before practicing law for 31 years.  In her spare time she rode horses for a local sheriff’s department and after retiring she became a registered therapeutic riding instructor.

“When I started expanding my horizons to include a pursuit of psychic development, Reiki and shamanic studies, my life really came alive,” Vera said. “I now wake up each morning glad to be alive and with a desire to help people with their physical, spiritual and emotional health issues.”

Vera began developing her psychic abilities under the guidance of Jacqui Geary.  She joined ECRIPT, a paranormal research group and continues to use her investigative skills to help people.  Intrigued by shamanism Vera took an introductory course with Michael Harner.  During this journey she came across the term “drum circle facilitator” and now acts in this capacity to help others experience the drum circle, journey to the upper and lower worlds and discover their “teacher” and “power animal.”

She was introduced to Reiki by Ruth Amarante who served with her at the local sheriff’s department, and who works with Raven Reiki on many levels.

“Over time I’ve incorporated everything I’ve learned for a healing modality that’s unique to me, and not easy to name or describe. I call it Raven Reiki after my Shamanic Guide. It is not Shamanic Reiki as I have heard some people refer to the combination of methods - It is Raven Reiki, a client driven method that primarily uses positive imaging to change spiritually, physically and emotionally.”

Raven Reiki is honored to have Reiki Ruth offer her own special form of Reiki at Summer Fest on Saturday from 11 to 7. 

Ruth Amarante, Reiki Master/Teacher

       After years of studying and practicing Reiki for personal use, Ruth made the commitment to becoming a Reiki Master in 2012. Since completing her Third Degree in the Usui System of Natural Healing, Ruth has clients and students in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Hawaii. 

       Expanding on her life-long interest in crystals, Ruth has a wide variety of healing stones that may be used during sessions as needed.

       Creating a truly unique healing experience, Ruth may also combine Reiki with the Raindrop Technique of applying essential oils. Always striving for the highest and best good, each client receives an individualized healing using all of Ruth's skills, knowledge, intuition and connection with Spirit.
