What a beautiful space with such an array of wonderful things to support your wellbeing. We walked through the space and enjoyed the beauty and peace of the landscaping and decor. We also went home with a few items to cleanse our aura. The variety of books, crystals, and fragrances made it hard to choose. The staff were so kind throughout our visit. We will definitely be back again! read more

The Sacred Space - Art Galleries Near Me - Summerland, California

This is a wonderful shop in Summerland that sells various Asian decors. The store front looks small in width, but you can keep walking deep into the shop to uncover knick-knacks. The two garden areas were tranquil and filled with greenery, flowers, and pounds. There are many beautiful sitting areas, perfect for lounging and talking with friends. There is also a large intricately carved wooden pavilion, perfect for events like a small wedding. You wouldn't know this treasure exists in Summerland from looking from the outside. Highly recommend visiting The Sacred Space. read more

Great location across the freeway from the ocean and right next to a great cafe. It was so beautiful to walk around inside and see all of the different things available for purchase! The outdoor area had a few different seating areas which was very relaxing! The staff was all very nice and calm. Happy we stopped by to walk around! read more

This is a must-visit place if you are ever in Summerland or in the Santa Barbara area. My friend who is totally a spiritual, sensitive hippy who for a hippy, can still come across as being quite judgmental, but I love her regardless. She loves this place and I can see why. The outside space is constructed to resemble being in a tropical secluded location, and it is easy to feel at peace there. I like that they have free tea for us to enjoy. If you are into spirituality and purchasing such paraphernalia, you will have a fun time perusing this place's wares as they have a lot of different goods for sale, from crystals to incense to what have you. The staff here are friendly. The bathroom is nice, so rest assured that if you are walking here from the Summerland business area, that there is a bathroom in sight. read more

The vibes are great at the sacred place. If you need a place to buy some new crystals or anything spiritual, or just need a place to chill out and relax by a peaceful koi pond, this is the place for you. The staff is kind and attentive, the prices are great, and there is a great selection of products. They also do yoga and other classes that you can find on their website. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Absolutely gorgeous zen garden! I've been here a count full amount of times and never disappoints. It is like you are transported to Asia/India with numerous Buddha and Siddhartha statues throughout the store and garden. Inside you'll find the most outstanding little store filled with gorgeous jewelry, crystals, incense, books,local tea from Ojai. (Which by the way is a complimentary, and available for purchase). You'll always leave home with something new and exciting. Personally the best part is the garden itself, you can feel such tranquility. Take a seat and relax and unwind your mind and body. There are some journals so you can write if you're feeling it. All while listening to the sounds of the koi ponds, water pouring, and that serenity. Unplug yourself and come visit the Sacred Space. read more

Beautiful,, quiet, tropical garden getaway.. Just off the freeway. It's a reason to get off at this freeway exit, there's restaurants nearby, take a walk through their gift shop, of books, candles, stones, crystals and so much more.. Throw coins in the fountains and maybe your wishes will come true. read more

I love this place: if you go then please take a moment to sit outside in the garden to relax and find peace. This shop is wonderful and one of my favorites! read more

Love this place. Came here for a guided meditation and loved it, walked around the store and garden a bit after. Parking is mainly on the street! read more

I'd driven by this place so many times but never stopped in, then my friends said we were going to meet here for some photos with our dolls (doll club) and I came by. I was the first to arrive and it's SUCH a lovely place. A crystal shop, with an amazing zen garden. I bought a couple of things from the shop as gifts for friends, and took a few photos in the garden before departing. The staff I talked to were all super nice and friendly. They helped me with gift recommendations and were just overall very welcoming. I probably won't stop here by myself but I have a couple of friends I want to come here with who I know would love it. Great positive vibes and relaxing environment. read more

Gorgeous space!! We stopped by here on the way from LA to Santa Barbara; it's right on the way if you're doing the coastal route. I wouldn't have made a special trip out here just for the space though, tacking it on to our drive to SB worked out perfect. It's right off the highway, and we did street parking. The entrance already sets you into a peaceful sanctuary place with the buddhas, fountains, pebbles etc. you enter into a shop with all kinds of things, quite extensive. There are two exits to go out 'back' to wander through the space. If I recall there is probably about 3-5 spaces to sit, visit or meditate. It's a gorgeous space filled with spiritual statues where people have left their offerings, small pond, surrounded by bamboo. Def recommend! Ps it's free and it wasn't busy at all on a Friday afternoon read more

I've been wanting to come visit this "sanctuary" for several years. I finally drew time to drive 200+ miles across town to visit The Sacred Place. It's okay and very quaint -- the art gallery/shop and garden space is equally the small. The "garden" is really a well manicured pathway along the perimeter of the shop. The statues are well placed and gives the essence of peacefulness. While respectfully admiring each deity, I'm pleasantly impressed many offerings had been given or left behind by other visitors, including myself. That's cool. All in all, the "garden" is nice but is not big as one should expect, so that's a disappointment driving such a long distance. The stones and statues are much more pricer than similar quality that I've seen in San Diego / LA Chinatown or San Francisco shops. However, I always welcome any shops or venues that supports culture diversity. read more

Absolutely gorgeous place. So amazing with the variety of items they have for sale. You can find an array of Asian religious trinkets, books, decor and so much more. All beautifully staged around the shop. The best part were the meditation gardens on the exterior of the shop. Front and back. I need the contact for their landscape designer! My dream garden is basically here. I would visit this Sacred Space twice a week if it only wasn't 2hrs away from me. You can visit the shop free of charge and enjoy their gorgeous garden area. read more

Every once in a while the collective "we" are lucky enough to have devoted, creative owners that create such a delightful and fascinating oasis like The Sacred Space which the rest of us get to enjoy. I've never been to India or Asia, but spending a half hour slowly meandering through this charming spot transports me to exotic lands. The building housing a myriad of mystical goods offers a labyrinth of unique rooms to explore. It feels like a little old house that expanded one room at a time over many years. Inside there are some many treasures to see that it's hard to know where to begin. Crystals, jewelry, books, spiritual enhancements or so many kinds, artwork, antiquities, and so very much more fill the spaces. Then you have the delight of wandering outside in the gardens. The entrance area and exterior out front of the shop only hints at the wonders in the inner garden spaces. Call me enchanted with the meandering pathways that lead you through lush tropical plantings. Water features abound, adding serenity to the landscape. There are various areas to sit and enjoy nature, or take some time to meditate. The last time we went, our grandson and his girlfriend were with us. We'd first brought him here some years ago. He still remembered, and wanted to introduce his GF to this special spot. I consider that a multi-generational endorsement! read more

I know everyone comes here for the beautiful botanical garden zen space out back...and I do, too. But my main reason for coming is the incense selection here. It is incredible and they have a wide variety of all types of scents. High quality incense that burns oh so well. I never have to start it back up again or anything. I buy A LOT. Go to the botanical garden, yes...but support this place financially by buying products. Love, love, love read more

One of the highlights of my trip to Santa Barbara, this should be a must. This place has such beautiful, tranquil energy. I wanted to stay in their garden for the rest of the day. It allowed for privacy as well as a nice view of the garden. They even have a book you can read about the Sacred Space. There was plenty of street parking. read more

The Sacred Space is one of my mandatory stops while leaving or heading home to my family, my loved ones in Santa Barbara. The serenity here is absolute. Atmosphere, smells, and sounds are ever so pleasant. I rated a four only because I felt $80 for a bracket was a little outrages; especially the ones I was looking at. So, I settled for oils I typically buy here. Nevertheless visiting is very therapeutic and heartwarming. Come see.... read more

My favorite place to sneak away to when I'm stressed or needing a breather. Sacred Space welcomes all and invites everyone in. If you are looking to learn about gems, meditation, fend shui, or simply purchase a cleansing item for that new house, go and check it out. I especially enjoy sitting outside with tea pre-covid and viewing all the color themes as you walk through each room. I've found the best candles and Buddha gifts for friends. Plus, easy parking and nice coffee shop now next door! read more

The Sacred Space is a hidden spot found right above the 101 freeway. The owners, Jack and Rose Herschorn, were the ones who found this special place that makes you feel as if you transported yourself to a whole new world that is filled with peace and calmness and tranquility. The owners travel regularly to Asia and has imported diverse items displayed here. From the outside, you may be in awe by seeing the numerous of Buddhas/ Siddharthas, and other stone statues. Something that may remind you of Thailand. But then you will be surprised to find out that there is so much more... inside you will find many items for sale that include healing crystals, jewelry, candles, artwork, pottery, clothing, furniture, etc. But then outside through the back door is where you will find an oasis and garden. There are a few benches/ places to sit, a beautiful large pond and lush greenery all around. Walking around each and every nook and cranny of this place, my husband, our little girl dog and I were excited with everything that we found. We spent a little over an hour here exploring The Sacred Place. We were greeted by friendly employees behind the counter when we first walked in and were not pressured to purchase anything (honest I am amazed that you are not charged an admission price to visit). Words truly cannot capture how beautiful The Sacred Place is, nor can all of the photos on this Yelp page. I would highly recommend a stop here if you are in the area. Please note that there is a small parking lot and then some limited parking on the street. There is also a very clean unisex restroom inside the store, by the back before going out to the beautiful garden. read more

Lovely space! Have a cup of tea and sit in garden and meditate! Workers were wonderful.

Definitely a great stop if you're ever in Summerland. Or a great pit stop if you're on your way to Santa Barbara or Norcal. Stepping in, I didn't know what to expect. But it felt as if I was walking through Bali or some sort of serene sanctuary. It was extremely peaceful. Fun fact: there is a lot money place on items and animals because it symbolizes good luck and fortune. read more

A little bit of paradise located in Summerland. As you enter, you are greeted warmly into the first area which is a store filled with various things you can purchase such as books, rocks/crystals, candles, incenses, and more. The next area to check out is there beautiful outdoor space for a bit of peace, serenity, zen energy, and relaxing times. This area is filled with lots of plants and flowers, bamboos, statues, ponds, and various seating areas. I heard they serve you tea if you so please, but during the Covid times this was paused. Truly a little wonderous experience and business to check out. You will not be disappointed! read more

This is such a serene and beautiful area to meditate or just relax. The gardens are located in the back of the shop and it's more like a zen vibe rather than a garden. There's beautiful ponds, intimate seating areas, and lush greenery everywhere. We accidentally stopped by as we were looking for antique shops, and so glad we ran into this place! It's so beautiful! We meditated for a few moments and it felt so nice and peaceful. This place reminded us to slow down and enjoy the present. read more

A visit into the Summerland collection is like taking a euphoric trip to the Indo-Asian world without leaving Southern California. This beautiful space is a lovely collection of esoteric treasures, amassed by the well-traveled curators. Rose and Jack Herschorn traveled the world and devoted decades of their lives to the mission of this store that offers a retreat from a hectic world. They have created a space of tranquility and peace. Gemstones, incense, positive vibrational space with sitting areas featuring wooded padagonias among mythological god and goddess sculpture garden, koi ponds, and waterfalls. read more

This is a magical shop in a magical little beachside town. Summerland is located on the coast off the 101. This shop has a lot of Buddha's, crystals and other alter items.

The place is quaint. But it feels fake. It feels like they took someone else's culture and monetized it. There's Buddha statues in the bathroom! That is so disrespectful! Buddhas and deities are put where it looks nice, and not in spaces of respect. It's a white washed place monetizing asian cultures. On top of it, staff attitude toward us minorities are totally different than their white customers. Also, things are way overpriced. The whole place feels dead. No vibrance energies. It's just money. How can there be higher vibrations here when the fundamentals of any spirituality lies in respect and reverence and love for self, others, the universal energies/entities - which includes the diverse beings that come through here - no matter how different. At the same time monetizing the exoticness. Fake place. read more

The most beautiful place I have ever been in the past 11 years. I wanted to stay for hours and hours but they were closing so had to leave of course. I am a Buddhist and this place made me so happy and my heart was so full. Words can not explain this place. I have to take my mother here one day spend a few hours she would absolutely love it. She is very much into meditation and this place is perfect. Just like the place the owner was so nice and kind. She had a huge smile on her face. And she greeted everyone the same way. Most importantly they let pets on a short leash in, my dog didn't really like the water noise cus she doesn't really like water. I truly wish I have more time to look around and shop but I will definitely go here again. read more
