Welcome! We are a shop in Nanaimo, BC featuring crystals, books, card decks, incense, jewellery, wellness products, and all your favourite things.
Our Philosophy
We offer products and services that inspire wellbeing. To us, wellbeing is wholeness and full exploration of the self. It is self-awareness, self-care, self-love, and the indulgence of anything that brings alignment with one’s true being.
From the darkest, deepest recesses of the shadows, to the brightest of blinding light, and everything in between, we aim to offer a journey of deep integration. We seek to create a sacred environment that breeds meaningful, beautiful, profound, and magical interactions. We delight in bringing together our community, and in forwarding values we feel are important.
