She is the Real deal and I don't think that you will be disappointed. I really love this place. Awesome people.

I'm not really a certified crystal person per se, but I dabble. I really love how the store is laid out, it has a nice flow that you can walk around looking at the different crystals and a lot of them had information cards so you can learn about each of their powers. I ended up getting some matching bracelets and I loved that they cleansed everything before we took them home so it is only our energy in the stones. I'm really glad they we stumbled across this little local shop!

This place has 100% changed my life...in just a few months. I took the Munay-Ki classes and enjoyed them so much that I signed up for Mesa training right after. Every class has been powerful, eye-opening, and deeply healing. You can really feel the care and intention Shannon and her team put into everything they offer. I also had a shamanic session with Shannon, and it was incredible -- she's intuitive, kind, and really knows how to hold space in a sacred, safe way. I've loved all the sessions and experiences I've had at the center -- it's honestly become one of my favorite places to recharge and reconnect. I have also found a new group with whom to travel next year to Peru, Costa Rica and Egypt! If you're looking for genuine healing, community, and soul-level growth, this is the place. Highly recommend!

There was a time when I was quite adament in Asian entertainment, and when I say that, I mean more…read morethan just the typical mainstream anime. I loved anime back in the early 90s when it was niche. I loved K-pop right before the cusp of the Hallyu Wave before 2005. I even enjoyed Chinese entertainment prior to its expansion thanks Viki and the late DramaFever. Though other busiesses came before and tried to implement Asian entertainment, Echo Arts and Gifts was the one that became the "mainstay" for it overall. So being one of the only locales in Brevard County to attain Asian entertainment, you'd think they'd be high in rating. Well... yes and no. They are good but they also fall short on other things, too. Echo Arts and Gifts (which I will shorthand to Echo for the remainder of this review) is a Asian entertainment and novelty shop located in the west side of Melbourne Square Mall. Ergo, take into account they are open and closed during mall operating hours. Inside, the store is divided as follows. The west wall has primarily Japanese entertainment media specifically centered around anime. This includes knick-knacks, toys, wall scrolls, special edition anime movies and series sets, and figurines (which I will come back to for a very important detail later in my review). The "floor" is primarily trad or historic Japanese (or Asian) furniture, housewares, etc. primarily made popular to the west thanks to their inclusion and respresentation in Asian entertainment. The East Wall has incense burners and the counter selling weaponry of an Asian preference. Think of swords, sais, nunchucks, etc. Finally, the "speakeasy" back room has row upon row of manga and other unique Asian finds. Also, the somewhat 18+ content may be back here. Nothing blatantly graphic, but your body pillows adorned with images of anime girls in skimpy lingerie are on display here. Overall, Echo is an excellent one-stop locale for all your Asian entertainment needs, but that is omitting two details: 1.) If you are not willing to shop around for Asian entertainment, than Echo works for you. There are stores and businesses that don't strictly cater to Asian entertainent that sell it at cheaper prices. This is the problem other big media businesses in the mall had. Fye, for example, sells a plethora of musical CDs, but, at the time, Walmart, Target, etc. sold what was popular at a better price. Suncoast Movie Company sold a plethora of movies, but once again, other places - specifically the ones mentioned for music - sell them cheaper, too. The same can be applied to Asian entertainment, especially if you don't mind a daytrip to Orlando. 2.) Some of their wares are bootleg. My sister definitely saw this as some of their figurines were bootleg and not official. I see that Echo has gotten better in spotting the fakes, but at the time when more than half their wall was bootlegs, I brought it up with an employee there and he gave me the audacity to say, "Some of the fakes look better than the official, so you should buy those instead." Listen, I do recognize that some fakes do look better than the official, but if I go to a place selling figurines and I want to buy one that is official, then I better not hear a pitch about buying bootlegs, at all. Besides all that, Echo is generally a good place for your Asian entertainment needs. I've been going here through the two major management changes via the OG whe Jackie was in charge, followed by Sarah. I don't know who is in charge now, but I know Sarah left awhile ago. Through those years, I will say that Echo hasn't changed much. Ergo, I will give them three out of five stars, which means they are on average, a-okay. Do they stand out? Well... not anymore, but they are still the go-to in the area, and despite their flaws, they still do a fairly good job bringing Asian entertainment options to the Space Coast.

BIG PROBLEM!!! EMBARRASSED AT LEAST!…read more 1. The price was AMAZING!!! 2. Delivery was flawless. 3. People were too nice!!! 4. IT ALL STARTED WITH THE FLOWERS! I ordered flowers from here as gifts for my family members to give out at my retirement ceremony. It was imperative to me that everything was perfect but I did not relay that to the ladies who helped me. (My mistake) I chose this shop based on the reviews because I'm sorta new to the area. I ordered 2 dozen roses, (including a purple colored dozen) 4 pink corsages, 2 sets of 3 carnation arrangements, 2 hydrangea arrangements, (including one that was added the day before delivery) 4 days before the ceremony. I did not get to see the arrangements until I was handing them out because I arrived seconds before the ceremony began. Imagine my HORROR when I saw the perfection in each and every flower had in them. The love, the care.... I have NEVER HAD or seen more beautiful arrangements in my life! THE NERVE OF THEM TO READ MY MIND! It was like they knew of my OCD mannerisms and level of difficulty to please! I was OUTRAGED!!! Not only did I notice, but my grandmother could see it too! The tears in her eyes said everything. After all, this was not her first flower rodeo. I had sent them to her from other shops on many occasions before. As I looked into the sobbing eyes of my grandmother, I could only tell her, "Don't cry Grampy.... it will be okay." She gave me a warm smile with a twinkle in her eyes and accepted the reality of what was happening. Why was I upset? Because I've ordered SO MANY FRICKEN FLOWERS in the past and it's clear that I have been getting ripped off for second hand flowers that were over priced to say the least!!! Oh well, lesson learned. You can never go back. I shall go forth and prosper! None the less, I have now found my FOREVER flower shop and look forward to ordering from Buds and Bows and Buds and Bows ONLY!!! FOR'EVVVVVVVVVA!
