The Chakra Shoppe Celebrates 20 Years of Healing and Community

The Chakra Shoppe is celebrating 20 years of service with a weekend of events honoring its roots in spiritual healing, intuitive arts and community collaboration. The anniversary celebration begins from 7 to 10 p.m. on September 19 with an evening gathering featuring live Native American flute music by William Buchholtz Allison, kirtan chanting, a buffet, mocktail bar and a crystal candle giveaway. A two-day Spirit Fair follows from 12 to 6 p.m. on September 20 and 21.

Founder Blanche Blacke reflects on the journey that began when she was no longer able to teach her signature Fifth Chakra class at another location. “Instead of feeling discouraged, I saw the moment as an invitation to create something of my own,” says Blacke. “I feel so blessed to hold space for those seeking healing and deeper connection.”

Blacke offers special thanks to those who contributed along the way. “Gina helped paint the chakra colors on the walls with reiki energy. Dora and Deanne are with the angels now, but remain part of this space. Sarah offered time and a massage table, Lillian continues to educate and inspire, and April asked to read tarot when we were just starting out. There are so many more I hold with deep gratitude.”
