Tauranga’s Latin American Spring Festival returns on Saturday 19 September 2026, bringing music, dance, food and cultures from across Latin America together at the Queen Elizabeth Youth Centre.
The published festival programme describes a full day running from 11 am until 11.30 pm, with live music, DJs, cultural performances, traditional and contemporary dance, Latin American food and family entertainment. Children under 16 can attend free when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, and the daytime programme is family friendly.
Among the independent businesses attending this year will be The Intuitive Sanctuary, created by Elea Azambuja.
Elea will be offering tarot readings at the event.
A different kind of pause inside a busy festival
Large cultural festivals are full of movement.
There is music somewhere.
Food somewhere else.
People reconnecting with friends.
Children discovering something new.
Performers moving between stages.
And sometimes, in the middle of all that activity, it can also be meaningful to stop for a few minutes.
That is the space The Intuitive Sanctuary will bring to the festival.
Elea’s work is centred around intuition, personal reflection and compassionate support through periods of change. At the Latin American Spring Festival, her offering will be specifically focused on tarot readings.
A reading does not need to begin with a dramatic question.
You might be thinking about a decision.
A relationship.
Work.
A transition.
Something that has been sitting quietly in the background.
Or you might simply be curious about what a tarot reading feels like.
If you are new to tarot, you do not need to prepare perfectly
Some people arrive at a reading knowing exactly what they want to ask.
Others do not.
Both are fine.
A useful question can be open enough to allow reflection without asking the cards to make a decision for you.
Instead of asking:
Will this definitely happen?
you might ask:
What might be useful for me to understand about this situation?
Instead of:
Should I leave my job?
you might explore:
What should I pay attention to as I think about my next direction?
That changes tarot from a demand for certainty into a structured moment of reflection.
Meet the business beyond the website
This appearance is also part of a wider story for The Intuitive Sanctuary.
The business recently launched its new website, bringing Elea’s services, approach and philosophy together in one place.
You can explore The Intuitive Sanctuary before the festival if you would like to understand more about her work.
The website was created by Quiet Star Studio, and this Client Spotlight follows what happens after a website goes live: the real business continues moving into communities, conversations and physical spaces.
If you are attending the Latin American Spring Festival on 19 September, you can look out for The Intuitive Sanctuary and Elea’s tarot readings among everything else happening across the day.
The festival itself belongs to its organisers and community.
Quiet Star Studio is simply pleased to see one of the businesses we have worked with stepping into it.
