CELEBRATING 29 YEARS!
This Saturday, August 12 we are celebrating 29 years in business! From humble beginnings in a tiny front showroom with crystals, some incense, cassettes (music on tape), and consignment crafts we’ve grown both in footprint and reputation. And boy, we have learned a lot along the way! From staff members, teachers, customers, fellow retailers and even animals. Yes, we used to have two cats, Tigger and Gabrielle. Then we added parakeets and cockatiels, my blue and gold macaw, ShaNay (who is happy at my home now) and a beautiful white dove, Mikael who graced us with his presence for 25 years! The Crystal Garden is more than just a store; it is a family.
In 2005 with the ‘birth’ of Smudge in Spray, The Crystal Garden officially became a brand. We soon added my line of 7 self-published guided meditation CD’s and thus began the Wholesale Division. We now offer over 100 aromatherapy and positive thought products under our label. You can find The Crystal Garden Brand in the UK, the Netherlands, Japan, Germany, Canada, and of course, throughout the USA. Doing our part to heal the planet one spritz at a time! We’ve stayed true to our roots and still hand blend and bottle all of our aromatherapy products infusing them with extra love and intention.
In 2011 with the publication of my first book, Chakra Awakening (Llewellyn Worldwide), I was able to fulfill a lifelong dream of sharing the knowledge, I have been given with the world. Chakra Awakening is now in its seventh printing and is translated into seven languages making it truly international. As with everything else this was just the beginning, I now have five books, four decks, and two CD’s published with more on the way! See the back page of The Crystal Garden newsletter for more on these, many of which are also published in other languages. Following the success of these publications and years of teaching classes across the country, I created the Academy of the Spiritual Arts which is a sacred online space for learning and personal growth. We recently redesigned the site for added ease and functionality, check it out at www.AcademyOfTheSpiritualArts.com.
The most recent addition is our “Be” line of Roll On essential oil blends. I created these essential oil blends with specific intentions in mind based on popular requests I have received over the years. More money, love, security, motivation, etc. Each essential oil is thoughtfully combined to fully support these intentions. This serves to give each one a unique aroma. Each bottle contains a proprietary blend of medical grade essential oils combined with fractionated coconut oil in an easy-to-apply cobalt roll on.
I want to thank each and every person who has been part of this journey, and I look forward to continuing it with you for many years to come. May you continue to feel love, peace, and harmony when you walk through the doors. Thank you for buying from us and keeping us in business all these years!
Gratitude! Gratitude! Gratitude!
