About Christopher Jones.
Christopher is a renowned and experienced handreader of over 40 years and will give a presentation on the hands of those with psychic, clairvoyant and mediumistic abilities and compare these with the hands of those who engage in shamanic travel, channeling and inner journeying into other dimensions, giving an outline of the chirological hand features that signify these experiences.
A chance encounter with a yoga teacher in 1983 led Christopher to study handreading under the auspices of the UK Cheirological Society. Christopher was the first student to complete all the Advanced courses of study and came to run the Cheirological Society from 1989-1999 and was authorised to teach esoteric approach to handreading from 1984. As Secretary, he corresponded with the major figures in the world of handreading and was responsible for writing, editing and producing the Society’s quarterly ‘Journal of Studies’. His undergraduate studies in Sociology and Psychology inform much of his approach to handreading as does his study of astrology and esoteric Buddhism. He completed his academic studies at Oxford University with a Masters degree in Philosophy and Theology.
Many of his students have become well-known internationally and have had books published based on the approach to handreading that Christopher was teaching in the 1990’s, including Johnny Fincham (UK), Talma Brill (Israel), Jenni Hirsch (RSA) and Birgitta Birath (Sweden). Many of his students have had successful careers as professional handreaders after graduating from his courses, some for over 35 years. He is the pre-eminent palmistry teacher of his generation.
In 2019, he established the International Hand Reading Association (IHRA) together with Lynn Seal and Felicity Booth as a professional association for handreaders who wish to practice an ethical approach to palmistry and chirology. His seminal book ‘The Palmistry of Fingerprints’ is available from O Books and Amazon from January 2026.Cost to attend $5.00
