"Laureli organized and managed the metaphysical fairs I participated in as a practitioner. She is the upmost, professional, and very pleasant to work with. She’s calm, levelheaded, and polite. To maintain that composure with these huge organized events spoke volumes to me. I highly recommend her."

ABOUT MEWE FAIRS
MeWe Fairs began in 2014, inspired by stories of a group of intuitive practitioners in California, as told by Heidi Holland Robinson, a hypnotherapist. Laureli's big living room in SE Portland held the first few events, and from these emerged a community and our fairs. They started with 6 practitioners in the living room, and quickly grew to 11 practitioners spread all over Laureli's house. From the beginning they made it a community atmosphere for both practitioners and the public with tea, snacks, vulnerability, and friendship.
When Laureli moved to Seattle in 2016, they rented event space in Portland and grew. After a few experiments, they finally settled on one spot for most of 2017-18. With the encouragement of Heather Smith, a close colleague and MeWe Fairs contributor, they added more cities: Eugene, then Salem. Laureli was learning the lay of the land in Greater Seattle too. There were many more, larger, and more frequent fairs. There was a gap on the Eastside, so MeWe Fairs filled it.
Laureli kept learning and growing. In Fall 2018 they moved to a larger space in Eugene, growing from 25 to 45 vendors, plus they started offering free talks along with a free intuitive panel.
In January 2019, they launched this website, moved to larger venues (70+ vendors) and began hosting online fairs. MeWe Fairs now has many online events each month. In 2022 they ran their first online symposium and grew to reach even more cities!
As of 2026, MeWe Fairs is in 4+ cities in Oregon, 5+ cities in Washington, and we regularly run fairs, panels, conversation events, and practice circles online. More to come!
