MUSIC, TAROT, AND TEA
What began as a simple tea stall at local festivals has quietly grown into one of the region’s most heartfelt creative offerings.
Hello Dawn emerged when Dawn Jones realised her love of organic tea, vintage style, music, and intuitive guidance could all live under one whimsical umbrella. What she offered at festivals wasn’t just a cup of tea – it was an experience, a moment of pause, presence, and human connection. Over time, people began asking for more. And Hello Dawn gently unfolded from there.
Today, Hello Dawn weaves together Dawn’s lifelong passions: tarot reading, music, and community gathering. With more than three decades of experience reading tarot, Dawn has earned a reputation for her calm, clear, and grounded approach.
Her Tarot & Tea gatherings bring people together for conversation, reflection, and a pot of beautiful loose-leaf tea served in cherished vintage china. These small circles have become spaces where people reconnect with themselves and each other.
Music remains at the heart of Dawn’s work. With her eight-string ukulele and soft, nostalgic vocals, she performs at local cafés, small events and intimate celebrations. Her musical offerings also extend into teaching with ‘Ukulele Baby!’ – supporting parents at local Playcentres who want to learn simple ukulele songs to share with their tamariki.
Hello Dawn continues to evolve as an expression of who Dawn is: creative, intuitive, playful, and committed to building community through gentle, meaningful experiences. Whether it’s a private tarot session, a tea gathering, live music, or a tailored celebration that blends them all, her work invites people to slow down and savour the moment.
Readers are warmly encouraged to connect with Dawn to chat about creating something unique for themselves – or as a thoughtful, heartfelt gift for someone they love.
