The Urban Mystic

“Spirituality saved my life.” That's how Marlene Chapman remembers getting into psychic readings. She wanted to share the power for personal growth and help others discover their own spirituality. Launching The Urban Mystic was a way to transform her curiosity into a career.

Marlene started out doing tarot card readings for friends, then she was quickly able to turn her skill into a business by 1995. By 2001, Marlene had grown out of the living room readings to her own office. Today, The Urban Mystic offers readings as well as classes on meditation, omens, and astrology. Each class ranges from two or three hours to a whole weekend.
