Closing Ceremony, January 18th at 2 pm

Closing Ceremony
Saturday, January 18th at 2 pm
This will be a gathering to celebrate all that was Crystal Visions,
to give her the closure that she deserves, and that we need.
The ceremony will be outdoors in the back garden. Dress warmly!

It has been a blessing to serve this community for 35 years. As we’ve journeyed with you, we have met incredible teachers and made treasured friends. We have grown spiritually and shared our insights with others who have done the same. While Crystal Visions is closing, the love and energy we have created here will continue on, and the Light will still shine. Thank you for traveling with us and helping to make this a truly remarkable journey.

We hold each and every one of you dearly in our hearts.
In Lak’ech – I am another yourself
Namaste – the Divine within me bows to the same Divine within you
In Love and Light and Gratitude,
Blair and Joan

Update on Crystal Visions October 13, 2024

We are reeling, as is everyone, from the devastation, loss of life, homes, and businesses from this storm, Helene. Our hearts go out to all who’ve lost so much. We are with you!
We are grateful for the many blessings we have received… we are safe, our Crystal Visions team is safe, and our readers are all safe.
Sadly, this storm has dealt the physical embodiment of Crystal Visions a closing blow. We will not re-open after 5′ of water spent significant time in and around the building.
35 years ago Crystal Visions was born of a dream. Incredible synchronicities created a beautiful unfoldment Light, Guidance, and Community. We are eternally grateful to our many teachers and mentors, amazing staff – present and prior, and to you, our Spiritual community, for the love, joy, and growth we have experienced together. Light prevails – always.
Thank you for your support of this shop and teaching center. We believe the spirit of Crystal Visions will live on in our memories and hearts for some time. One day we’ll have a gathering to celebrate all that was Crystal Visions, to give her the closure that she deserves, and that we need. To be sure you see the announcement for that closing ceremony, and other notifications we may share, you may want to be sure to be on our email list – see the sign-up option at the top right of this page. We will also post on FB (https://www.facebook.com/CrystalVisionsNC/).
We hold each and every one of you dearly in our hearts.
Until we meet again,
Love and Light and Gratitude,
Blair and Joan

Labyrinth of Divine God and Goddess

On Saturday, February 2nd, 2013, we held ceremony for Enlivening our new Labyrinth of Divine God and Goddess.

Many, many thanks to Donna Askew and Sam Richardson for their incredibly hard work,
generous contribution, and dedication in creating our new Labyrinth!

Labyrinth - Donna and Sam

The night of our celebration we were blessed with many Spirit Beings:

Spirit Being at enlivening celebration

We welcome you to walk our beautiful, sacred Labyrinth:

Labyrinth

Donna Askew, who graciously co-created our Labyrinth with Sam Richardson, shared this:

This Labyrinth was called into the 3rd Dimension by 13th Dimensional Beings.  The Human Co-Created Manifestation is in Honor of All Living Beings.

Labyrinth Winter Solstice Healing GridThe Winter Solstice Healing Grid is buried in the center of this Labyrinth and hundreds of small crystals are buried within the rocks.

We humbly provide a space for all to visit and share in the frequency band that has been co-created to hold this sacred

Labyrinths can be used as walking meditation/prayer healing modalities.  As we walk in clockwise we repeat a prayer or request out loud and create an energetic hologram of vibrational intent. Once we reach the center, we stand in silence for a moment as the energy slows down and achieves a balance.  As we walk out counter clockwise we are silent as we are sending the energy in the opposite direction to once again find a balance.  We have just created a Frequency Band of Our Intent.

We invite you to participate at whatever level you are comfortable with.  We are honored to have you at our Labyrinth!

History of Crystal Visions

Do you know the history of Crystal Visions?

Having dreamed of a bookstore, in 1988, Blair completed a course and business plan for operating one. When we moved to the mountains later that year, and searched for a source for crystals, the closest shop was about 45 minutes away.

A storefront that Blair’s parents owned on highway 25 “just happened to open up”, so we did our market research … at Smiley’s Flea Market:

We were blessed with new friends and acquaintances, and were immediately referred by one of you, Blake, to Pam McMahon, “the crystal lady.” To this day Pam is one of our nearest and dearest, and leads ceremony and singing!

Of course, we found great interest and support in having a metaphysical resource in the neighborhood.

 

 

We first opened next door, then had the opportunity to move to the larger space we now occupy.

 

Over the years we’ve had the opportunity o serve the community with products and services. Here’s a sampling of events:

2000-01:

 Major expansion of the shop, including the addition of the large meeting space — with design by Cathy Easterbrook

 

 

 

2002:

     

 

 

 

 

A celebration of The Spiritual Reawakening of the Great Smoky Mountains, with Page Bryant and guest presenters, Frannie Oats, Michael and J.T. Garrett, Bo Taylor and Walker Calhoun

2004:

 

 

At our 15th anniversary celebration in 2004, we had a May Pole celebration,

 

 

 

 

Lee Carroll, channel for Kryon, visited for the first time,

 

 

 
Jani King, channel for P’Taah, visited again,

 

 

 

 

 

Our Medicine Wheel was created in the tradition of Sun Bear, thanks to Page Bryant,

 

 

 

 

And, with Emily Smoke, we hosted our first annual Weave the Web outdoor networking festival!

 

 

2005:

 

 

Our first spring Garden Party, with a festive hat contest!

There are many ways in which you, as an individual, can directly participate in improving the lives of those facing hunger in Western North Carolina. The most direct way in which you can have an impact is by donating food.  You might just create a habit of buying a few extra cans when you go to the grocery store, keeping a box by your front door where you deposit these extra cans and when the box is full, bringing it to Crystal Visions on your next visit.

We will gladly receive and distribute your food donations to local food banks.

Needed items include:

  • Canned meats (beef, chicken, tuna)
  • Peanut butter (plastic jars only, please)
  • Dried/Canned Beans (pork & beans, pinto, kidney, black)

Creating Sacred Space!

Sacred Space can be as small as the breath taken in during prayer, as large as a cathedral or as expansive as an ocean view. From the reflective to the whimsical, you’ll find the angelic and the fairy realms, as well as the world of the dragon.
