Co-founded a successful spiritual and holistic health center with my partner of 14 years. We built our community through our monthly Gathering of Light, weekly yoga, daily motivational videos, astrology readings and energy healing sessions. We sold crystals & metaphysical supplies as well as our homemade herbal remedies. Our community championed volunteerism by starting a local food pantry, organizing metaphysical trading fairs, and dedicated yoga classes for individuals with disabilities. Our center came to a close as my partner and I were pulled more and more in our corporate careers.
