"The Power of Crystals" with Lexa Palacio, owner of Apothecary of Crystals

For centuries, crystals have played a meaningful role in ritual, medicine, and spiritual practices across countless cultures. From the ancient Egyptians and Assyrians to the Maya and Chinese civilizations, crystals have been valued and used in ways both practical and profound. These seemingly simple stones continue to captivate - not only with their natural beauty but also with the symbolic and energetic qualities many believe they possess.

Join us at McDougall Cottage as we explore the enduring allure and power of crystals with special guest, Lexa Palacio, owner of Apothecary of Crystals in Galt.

With deep knowledge and a passion for sharing, Lexa will lead us through a fascinating conversation about the history, symbolism, uses and the power we ascribe to these captivating stones. You'll see crystal samples up close and together we’ll explore why these stones continue to inspire wonder.

Whether you're a long-time believer, or just crystal-curious, we invite you to bring your questions and an open mind to this engaging and thought-provoking evening talk.
