Hands of Spirit was created in 1992 by Karen as a vehicle for the conscious growth work she offers clients, using crystals, energy, and teaching.  By 1995 Karen was so in love with stones and all the capabilities they offer, that she began searching to find special ones to sell to her clients for their personal use.

Bruce was definitely beginning to wonder about all the rocks that were showing up, and had a pretty clear idea that even though Karen was working in the corporate world part time, she probably wouldn’t be working as a scientist for much longer.  An inner prompting continued to guide Karen to procure more rocks, so the decision was made to go on a big buying trip in early 1998.

Then providence moved Karen and Bruce’s life!  A few days before their trip, the company Karen worked for was sold and she was laid off with a year and half severance package.  Be careful what you ask for . . . . you may get it!  Thank goodness for this gift, since Karen didn’t quite realize the time and energy required of being a keeper of so many rocks, while continuing her healing practice.  (See About Karen– to learn more about Karen’s life-long spiritual journey.)

Bruce assisted Karen as he could, but continued working his business in school photography.  In 2006 it began to dawn on Karen that Bruce was perfectly suited to join full time in Hands of Spirit.  Bruce had figured this out a couple of years prior as he had always desired to be a “shopkeeper”, was a great photographer, business man, and imagine this, had even worked in the jewelry industry for 3 years and has a GIA certification in diamond grading!  Sometimes your greatest gifts are right under your nose!

Bruce joined Hands of Spirit full time in August 2006, and now you’ll notice we have an Online Store on our website with many beautiful photographs!  Take a browse through our website and you’ll see all the wonderful things we do and be able to imagine the wonder of our lives as we distribute our stones as beacons of Light in the world.
