✨ A Message from Jennifer at The Mystic Sip ✨
Why I’ve been doing this alone—and what happens next.
There’s been a question floating around: "Are you going out of business?”
Let me be clear: No, I’m not. But I am pivoting—and there’s a story behind that.
When I opened The Mystic Sip, I had a creative partner—a friend whose passion for tea, herbs, and crafting beautiful drinks complemented my own devotion to spiritual and energetic work. The plan was simple: she’d run the tearoom; I’d hold the classes, rituals, and events. Together we’d serve Casper in a way that hadn’t been done before. Offering an all-inclusive approach to those that are touched by non-dogmatic and non-mainstream religious practices. A place all our own. Where we could sip tea, learn, share energy, and talk about channeling the divine, psychic gifts, Merkabah & Kundalini awakening, deconstruction from dogmatic principles, past lives, reincarnation, ghosts & the paranormal, Source Energy/Infinite Intelligence and the Universal truths.…all of the stuff. somewhere to make these deeper spiritual connections.
But the tearoom never drew enough business to sustain both of us. I had to let her go, and suddenly I found myself working alone—creating drinks, hosting events, keeping the lights on. I was a one-woman show, even though this was never meant to be a solo act.
And here’s the honest truth: I didn’t pour my savings, time, and soul into starting a new business just to go back to being a barista. I didn’t leave stability to walk in circles. I left it to follow my calling. And that calling isn’t sandwiches and scones—it’s spiritual transformation.
I’m trained in hypnosis, currently training in NLP, and attuned in Reiki and energetic systems most people haven’t even heard of—Holy Fire/Tummo, Yamabushi Shinto, Seichim, Kundalini, Blue Flame, Angel Reiki for Children, Happy Reiki, Usui Shiki Ryoho… and many more. These aren’t available in Casper—and likely not anywhere in Wyoming. This is deep, transformational work. And this is my life’s purpose. There is a reason I have the multidimensional awareness and channeling abilities that I do. I show up for myself-consistently. I invested time, energy and money in myself. I worked at it, for nearly 3 decades. I have a lot to offer.
For over a year, I held regular public hours, handed out flyers, ran ads, mailed postcards, created experiences—and mostly sat alone. Occasionally the place would overflow with energy and people, and those days were magic, but also hard on my body being a solo act. But the majority? Two to four customers a day. Sometimes none. Long hours. Deep disappointment. Silence.
And as a Casper native, that hit harder than I expected. The community that I loved and literally grew up with did not support me.
Even my friends—the ones I grew up with, the ones I’ve worked with or known for decades, the ones I’ve supported in their small businesses, the ones I thought would show up—mostly didn’t. And that taught me something big: who’s aligned with me, and who actually cares. I’m grateful for the insight.
Spiritual growth isn’t something we sip passively. It requires showing up—authentically, consistently, courageously. That’s what this space was always about, whether or not it was recognized.
To those who have supported me consistently through visiting the tearoom on the regular and participating in my events, who see the value in what I offer, who came through the door and opened their hearts—you are part of my soul circle now. You know who you are. And I’ve got you. No matter where I go- I’ll share my gifts and attunements with you even if I don’t have a brick & mortar. Thank you so deeply for your support.
A special thank you to: Rhiannon Francis, Jane Sutton (The Sacred Door), Teresa & Steve Mogensen ( Tree of Life Heart Art) Shayne Kost (LaLune Fortunes), Josh Bannister, Stephanie DePalmer, Ashley Melloh, Yve Mize, Gypsy (Bobbi Ozanne/The Magick Within)), Ya-Ya, Hope Beebe(Unrealistic Hope), Cassandra Ocana, Helen Edwards, Lenae Curato(Statera387), Dakota Pooley (Coulter’s Crossroads), Forrest/Heather/Kaitlin Tobin( Buy Local), Izzy Bannister, Brenda Anderson, Vicki/Kathleen/Kendra Piper, Erica Long, Katrina Arnold, Maggie Browning, Kristi Fulton, Megan Church, David Ellis, Lisa Tunison & Ericka. These are all customers and practitioners that jumped in to help when they saw I was overwhelmed, often without receiving anything or very little in return, other than my gratitude. I’ll never forget your help and your support. Also, shout out to Jessica Gowlkowski, my beautiful Christian friend that supported me in her own way...just because she is my friend- she knows I love Source as much as she does even if we have different perspectives of what that looks like. - I love that about you Jess- more than you know. Kassi Peterson hey lady - you too! Thanks for your help. ❣️
A gigantic extra special thanks to Nisha Olson (FeralWitchCo), - Girl, if it weren’t for you… I would have closed the tearoom several months ago. Those that have enjoyed the tearoom in recent months have no idea how much credit you deserve. The delicious panini's you have created really are very yummy! Thank you for seeing the value in my vision. One reason I know I haven’t lost anything is because of the brand-new group of friends I’ve gained. It’s meant the world to me. Also… John Raver- Thank you so much for sticking with me through thick & thin with no opinions about any of it…just the fact that you believe in me is also enough to keep me going. Thanks for lifting all the heavy lifting and moving, as well as all of the supply runs. I love you.
So, here’s what’s happening now:
Starting in September, The Mystic Sip will shift all regular public hours to a more intentional rhythm. Many of you have noticed that I have been intentionally moving in that direction already. The tearoom will be open only for classes, ticketed experiences, private gatherings—and possibly one open-to-the-public tearoom day a month. Everything else will be energetically curated, with a deeper focus on teaching, transmission, and community work that aligns with my actual calling. I am still working on the Fall schedule. As soon as it is ready I will have it available for you to download a pdf calendar. The August schedule is out. I'll add it to this post as well. This will be the last month that we will have open walk-in tearoom availability.
I’ll be anchoring more online offerings- which I avoided because I felt the need to serve my community first. I am exploring immersive in-person experiences like mystery theatre nights, escape rooms, themed luncheons, and spiritual classes that blend energetic work/hypnosis, play, and growth. What happens in the next 5 months will determine if I keep these offerings available in person to the people of Casper or go strictly online.
Magic will still live here.
But it’ll ask something from you now: presence, participation, resonance.
Because I know Source.
I trust Spirit.
I trust myself.
And I walk forward knowing my worth- with both feet planted in purpose.
So no, I'm not going out of business. I'm finally stepping fully into it. The real work begins now.
