Had to pop on here to rave about Magdalena's Botanica, an Esoteric and spiritual supply shop. It's…read morein a great location, inconspicuously tucked into Churchill proper on 25th St. The energy here is impeccable. They have so many different things from herbs to candles to books to tarot decks to crystals, etc etc. High quality items that are priced fairly. I was especially impressed with their wide variety of herbs. I especially loved their house made candles. I purchased some herbs and candles. The owner was there and checked us out. And she even offered to cleanse and dress my jar candle for me for free. Which was such a lovely touch. The staff was so warm and welcoming. Now that I've seen how fantastic this shop is, I am going to be a regular customer. Black owned, LGBT+ safe

Andrew (owner and leader for this yoga class) is very kind, welcoming and tranquil. His dog, Beau, is icing on the cake. Such a sweet dog to help boost happy neurotransmitters. I can't wait to come back and try other services including the 12 step yoga offered on Monday's and Tuesday's.

Align is a gem! I've gone to their breathwork circles, sound/reiki journeys, and just recently…read morepuppy yoga. All their special events are truly amazing. The owner is very welcoming and he has an awesome dog named Beau, who is always at the shop. I've also bought many Christmas gifts for my girlfriends (and myself) from here in the past. Lovely jewelry and rocks. Overall, I'm very glad we have a special place like this in Richmond.

My sound bath experiences at Indigo have been unlike anything I've ever experienced. I genuinely…read morewish I could attend every single week. Alex goes above and beyond to ensure that everyone feels comfortable in every way. At the end of each session, we're invited to share what we saw or felt during our meditations, which adds such a meaningful layer of connection and reflection. And the cacao (by Snow ) WOOWOWOWOW. It is absolutely delicious and truly adds a grounding, heart-opening element to the experience. It feels ceremonial in the most comforting and intentional way. Alex is a fountain of knowledge, but beyond that, she carries an energy that feels deeply safe. From the moment you arrive, you are guided every step of the way, gently, intentionally, and without pressure. The ambiance is impeccable, as you can see from the photos, but this space is so much more than a beautiful setting. It's the care, the presence, and the way you are truly held and guided throughout the entire experience. My Reiki sessions with Alex have been deeply transformative, in ways that rival some of my therapy experiences. I leave each session feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to myself, with effects that last long after. Alex truly has a gift. The impact she has had on my life is profound, and I'm incredibly grateful for this space and for the healing I've experienced here so far. If you feel drawn to visit, trust that instinct. This place and the people within it are something truly special.

I don't give bad reviews lightly, but Higher Education robbed me of $70. They did this by selling…read moreme a cheaply made knock-off grinder and then refusing to accept a return. Higher Education are criminals who are damaging the name of an American Company, Cali Crusher, as well as trust in local businesses. I brought the clean and unused grinder back into Higher Education, along with the receipt, and proof that it was a knockoff. The Owner's reply after acknowledging that it was fake grinder was: "No returns. No returns, no exceptions. Do you want me to keep repeating myself?" This is the most unprofessional and disgusting way of doing business I've seen from a RVA proprietor outside of Seibert's Towing. Selling cheaply made knockoff goods for premium price of $70 and refusing to accept returns is simply criminal. The Owner has made this practice his policy, and for that reason Higher Education does not deserve your business. PS: The Grinder is fake because: 1) It visibly doesn't have Cali Crusher's patented 4-Way Quick Lock System. it just has regular cheap metal threading 2) It doesn't have the crossbar supports beneath the screen. 3) It has a cheap plastic pollen scraper, instead of Cali Crusher's signature guitar pick shape.

Had great experiences at this place (which is a few blocks from my house), until they sold me an…read more18mm bubbler after I specifically told the sales associate (who I think was pretty new) that I needed a 14mm stem--then flat out refused to exchange it for something that would work when I brought it back totally unused 20 minutes later. The associate even admitted it was his fault for selling me the wrong size, but his manager wouldn't let him do the obvious decent thing--which was exchange it. I mean seriously, what the heck is that? When I called the manager myself, she wouldn't even hear me out, just saying "no refunds" and "you should have read the signs before buying something." Totally not how the law works, much less basic retail service. I seriously hope that $85 one-time sale was worth losing a repeat customer and pissing off a neighbor.

My curiosity got the best of me and I finally decided to give it a try and let me tell you Tweed did not disappoint. Tweed is like a home goods boutique selling all of your favorite brands like Scout, Yeti & Lily Pulitzer just to name a few. They also do monogramming (for an additional cost) and custom complimentary gift wrapping. Tweed has easily become my new sanctuary and go-to place for a cute gift, new trinket or handbag. Don't wait as long as I did to treat yourself to Tweed!
