Beautiful products as gifts, such as necklaces, books, hats, cultural crafts, handmade gifts, unique jewelry, locks, bags, pouches, art, souvenirs, etc. Great value. Good service next door. Views are spectacular inside and outside. Small narrow space, but perfect for a unique gift shop. Decent value. Shop ends at the stairwell in back. Highly decorated at every shelf and angle. I really liked all the colorful items and designs I see. There's definitely variety here, especially if you want to buy a specific gift for someone. Next door is also an art gallery boutique. Beautiful place with beautiful vibes. Must love. I like browsing around the store whenever I'm waiting for my coffee and pastries or breakfast sandwich next door. Friendly and welcoming environment with lots of great things to see. I will definitely revisit in future.

And showed me how she shuffles decks, had me use her cards to try myself - very informative. If she offered some classes of some kind or just events at the shop- I feel like that would be beneficial and of interest. That said, I can't personally shop somewhere that doesn't allow returns once something's opened. The policy makes sense, it's just not a good fit for me. There are quite a lot of items as far as selection for what from the outside looks like a very small shop. Most items are available for much less online, and in my opinion, the value here simply doesn't match the prices. This is really only a place to shop if supporting a local business matters more to you than what you're getting for the money.

We got into town late Sunday afternoon. I was excited when I saw this "shop" across from our hotel…read more I thought I would enjoy going in the next day, Monday. Monday comes and closed. No big deal I know a lot of shops closed on a Monday. The view from my hotel room looks right down to the shop, a little excited as I knew I would know when it opened, as there are no hours posted anywhere. It is now Saturday and not once has this shop been open. I am guessing this is more of a private practice type of place vs store, which I 100% support private practice and client appointments, but the way It's set-up is misleading. Especially seeing as yelp advertises it as open. The practitioner may be wonderful. I have no idea, I did not get an experience, but as for a store, not impressed.

They have an amazing selection of goods from cultures around the world! Boomerangs! African sculptures, Asian goddesses, lots of Celtic stuff, drums, flags.

It also is a spiritual shop, so they carry lots of tarot and oracle decks, have astrology and psychic readings, and do fairs the 2nd Sunday of the month. A good place for herbs, crystals, jewelry & candles. A super fun stop whether you're just visiting or local to Santa Cruz. Not to be missed!

The Center for Spiritual Awakening (CSA) is a place where I found a profound spiritual practice based based on the common beliefs of many faiths. Rather than the beliefs that divides us... The spiritual director, Dr. Bill Little, delivers a clear, compelling and inspiring message that you can apply to your everyday life. The weekly musical guests are always amazing and the music fine-tuned to the message for the day. If you are looking for an open spiritual community, with a great spiritual director, inspiring message, great music, a fun children's church and a welcoming environment - come to the Center for Spiritual Awakening. I am so glad that I did!

I had heard many cool things about CSA , yet I was very skeptical about "churches" in general…read more What I found when I started attending CSA in 2005 was a joyful, friendly and vibrant community. The teachings and the variety of spiritual teachers and science that our minister would draw upon were impressive. There was a depth and relevance to the teachings that helped in living life in a more joyful and loving way. I have found friendship, community and resonate spiritual teachings. There is a wonderful children's church, which parents should like that provide fun and inspiring lessons for children. After service there is coffee and food, and circle group discussions. The church also offers classes, musical performances and fellowship parties.

I had the most unfortunate experience with Psychic Susie (Yelp -- check her other reviews) or…read more"Psychic Susie Therese" (YouTube). She is a talented reader but there is really no time for you to speak, ask questions, because she interrupts and tells you to just listen. I met her at Mrs. Laurie's for a general reading and then followed up with her privately for another in my home. She talked my ear off for 3 hours about herself! Her obsession about cats, ex husbands, her family life, her mentors and more! I was polite and listened but when it was finally time for my reading, she outlined a process that I was following, but when I asked a question about how I should "ask the question" she interrupted, told me she was trying to speak, I said I know but I'm trying to figure out how to word my question and she didn't allow me that grace. She dominated over me which made me feel uncomfortable and I asked her to give me my cash back and leave my home. She didn't leave peacefully, she said that I have problems and labeled me, my problems and totally tore me apart. She said I ripped her off because I asked for my money back, but that is not the case. I allowed her to speak for 3 hours about her life. I'm not paying her for that. After listening about her 3 hour life story, we only got through 10 minutes of starting my session, and I couldn't even get a word in about my intent and what I wanted out of the reading. Her domineering personality always has to shine, and only her voice matters. You can't talk too much during her 3 hour story about herself and you certainly can't talk when you are participating in her reading. She is scary. I'm concerned about her level of service as a provider for Mrs. Laurie. While Susie is talented, she bulldozes over you, and doesn't think twice about it. You can possibly leave the reading confused, not by her message, but the way in which she gives it and dominates over you. Customers, watch out for her. She is domineering (alpha is how she calls herself) and she doesn't have time for you to even word a question correctly. Message to Management, I recommend she work elsewhere. She didn't wear a mask properly during the meeting at Mrs. Laurie. I socially distant myself but she is Covid risk for sure.

Reiki If you're looking for Reiki - Francie is incredible. I recently had COVID and Francie did a few long-distance sessions and it really helped me both physically and mentally to overcome the virus and the depression that it brings. For Francie's Reiki classes - I took Reiki 1 (in-person) and Reiki 2 (on Zoom) with her and it changed my life. The classes are fun, informative and so healing. Everyone is kind and patient and there is no judgement from your peers. It's such a beautiful process to learn how to heal yourself and others. Psychic Development Class I took Francie's 6-week psychic development class and it also changed my life. I am forever grateful that Francie had chosen me to take part in this class. In this 6-week program, I learned to develop my psychic abilities in a variety of ways. We had homework each week and got to practice our abilities with peers and other psychics. Each week we had a different focus, and the topics were built up over the course. I personally have never done any psychic work and with Francie's class I discovered my life purpose and it really changed my entire world. It's truly a gift that everyone has within them and you just need a teacher, like Francie, to bring that awareness to oneself. Francie has such a kind, warm, patient energy about her. Francie's intelligence and teaching abilities with her calm presence and beautiful energy makes her such a strong inspiring teacher. Side note: Francie also has a 2 hour - Intro to Psychic Develop, I highly recommend that for anyone who wants to get their toes went into the spiritual world; even in a two hour class, you learn A LOT (plus it's super cool). Can't thank Francie enough!
