A series of remote, experiential and healing arts one-on-one offerings
:::::::
We are in the time of awakening, ushering in a new paradigm that is more harmonious and more connected—a world in which humanity fully embraces its power as creators.
Mercado Sagrado emerged in 2014 to provide a platform to support visionaries boldly dreaming the new dream—artists, creative thinkers and problem solvers, indigenous leaders, inventors of new energy and healing technologies, organic architects, visionary surfers, dolphin whisperers, natural medicine makers, and so much more. We cherish our local community and all who gather with us in California and will continue to create in person happenings while we also embrace inspiration to create new opportunities for connection digitally and globally.
Once a month, Mercado Sagrado will announce a new line up of unique, experiential offerings by five visionary teachers, practitioners, and artists which will be available for a limited period of time — one or two days each. After you have booked your session below, we’ll follow up with details.
To quote Buckminster Fuller; "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
Wisdom begins with wonder. Join us.

HAND ANALYSIS
WITH RICHARD UNGER
A hand reading shows you who you are today and who you can be. In your session, Richard will focus on identifying your unique Life Purpose as revealed in your fingerprints - as well as what may be required to bring this Life Purpose forward.
Hand analysis is the modern form of the ancient art of palmistry. Whereas palmistry is defined as foretelling the future from the lines of your palm, hand analysis seeks to further self-understanding through an examination of the entirety of your hands. Because each pair of hands are a self portrait drawn from deep within, to have your hands read is to lift the veil, to stare deep into the truth mirror, to stand revealed before your very eyes.
Richard will send you a handprinting kit for use in the session. Please allow up to 10 days for shipping.
Richard Unger is the Founder and Director of the International Institute of Hand Analysis and is one of the foremost authorities on hand analysis in the world today. His unique system of Life Purpose Analysis is the culmination of fifty years of intensive research including the reading of over 60,000 pairs of hands. Richard is the author of LifePrints: Deciphering Your Life Purpose from Your Fingerprints.
