Welcome Everyone & Happy Independence Day!
|
I hope this newsletter finds all of you safely settling into a more normal routine. Last month held new procedures and developments with COVID-19 front and center in all our lives, so let’s continue to make the best of it.
Thank you everyone for your patience with the restrictions arising from CDC suggestions and the mandated adjustments we have had to enact. We are trying to be diligent in protecting everyone as much as possible, which unfortunately sometimes ends up placing people in uncomfortable situations. As suggested by the CDC, please remember to bring masks for your little ones 2 years or older and to use the restroom before coming to the store since we do not have public restrooms right now.
Keep in mind we will be adjusting our operational modes to coincide with the increased uncertainty and development of our cities heightened restrictions. We will try to keep you informed as quickly as possible of any operational changes that may be necessary. One major change in our policy is that we will no longer be requiring gloves to be worn in-store since the CDC has announced that the virus is not likely transmitted indirectly by surface contamination. Fear not! We will still provide you with gloves upon request if you forget to bring your own!
When we were making our list of things to achieve while in quarantine, we decided to take the opportunity to review all areas where we could make Nature's Treasures better. As we continue to grow, we find it’s hard to keep our internal operations growing as rapidly as our customer needs, so we have decided to make some behind the scenes interior structural changes and spiffy up the place a bit.
Because of the massive growth in our online store and our inventory needs ballooning, we have decided to change the studio location into an internal operating area for these two parts of the company. This change will, in turn, allow us to re-design our auditorium with interior improvements for better space rental options and conditions. These improvements will allow us to grow and better serve you. Please excuse our dust while we make these changes. We anticipate being able to reveal our new look by our 15th Annual Fall Denver Trunk Sale in October.
Wishing everyone a safe and fun Fourth of July celebration. Let’s hope someday there’ll be a national holiday that will be celebrated just like the 4th of July in that we will declare independence from the COVID-19 virus. Please everyone continue to stay safe and healthy.

Read Our New Welcome Statement!
As a sanctuary for people seeking peace and harmony within themselves and the world as a whole, Nature’s Treasures welcomes all walks of life. Although we cannot control injustices in the world, we can bear witness to them and acknowledge that they exist, especially in light of recent events. Our thoughts and blessings are with all those who are suffering injustice and we will continue to strive to provide a safe, just place for innocent people of every political view, race/ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation/preference and spirituality. We hope that all people can find common ground and unite to treat each human being with the respect and dignity they deserve.
Nature’s Treasures has always supported education, and we affirm that education is key to enlightenment. Especially during these emotionally charged times, it is important to learn through listening with our hearts, holding space for individuals suffering injustice, and evaluating information presented to us.

The Treasure Tome: A Trove of Knowledge

Seriously Sirius Amethyst
|
A recent post on our
Facebook page
stirred up quite a bit of interest over the rare and beautiful
Sirius Amethyst
, its history, qualities, and healing properties. After a bit of digging, we found and resurrected this previously published article from the vault of our Treasure Tome blog posts.
As usual, the Universe has perfect timing as the
Dog Days of Summer
are upon us, which is the hottest time of the year. The reason why this time period is called this is because it coincided when Sirius the Dog Star rose and set with the Sun. Sirius was very important to the Egyptians and other early cultures (for both timekeeping and myth) and continues to be the brightest star in Earth's sky today.
That said, I can think of no better way to honor this natural cycle of Summer and revered star from the constellation Canis Major than put up an article about a very special amethyst crystal that was named after it. Michael J. Kallstrom's article "Seriously Sirius Amethyst" follows below.

Tami was born in the Quartz-filled foothills of Arkansas, and raised in the shady pines of East Texas, where Tami developed a profound love of Nature. An avid learner and excellent student, both academically and spiritually, Tami learned how to focus her intuitive abilities at a young age which allowed her to open her own metaphysical shop before coming to Nature's Treasures. She has a passion for Tarot, astrology, history and mythology.

The following words were e-mailed to one of the store managers and was so heartfelt and uplifting to us that we just had to share with everyone! Thank you Mia for sharing your experience with the Spirit of Nature's Treasures!
It felt great to be in Nature's Treasures the other day when I picked up some Sage for the house I just moved into. I'm in the middle of moving! I could feel the powerful Energy of the store being sooooo grateful for all of you on the frontline - in the process of preparing & bringing the physical energies (all the people & customers) inside & outside again...
The Spirit of Nature's Treasures thrives on the Universal & energetic, expansive buzz that occurs when people are in there experiencing exchanges with other people, all of the amazing and wonderful inventory that has been chosen and implemented to be felt and utilized energetically and also chosen as gifts for their friends and family...the Spiritual Life Fairs and other events bringing community together..
The Energy of Nature's Treasures feels your Love...It understands the evolutionary process (just like Nature itself), It knows us humans have been wounded and have undergone extreme challenges...It understands patience...It is supporting you supporting it, and together it will thrive again with its amazing & powerful energy...It has everything we need to support people supporting each other in this new and evolving world!!!
I could go on and on with the expansive & infinite benefits that "are coming to mind" that the entity Nature's Treasures and its affiliates bring into this community and the World!
