The Sacred Source Crew

Sacred Source celebrates over 25 years of collaboration with the families of artisans who make our statues in Calcutta, India, and the individuals, families, and helpful neighbors here in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains who work to offer images and resources for spiritual transformation and celebration.

A new shipment arrives! The Sacred Source crew, supported by friends and neighbors, unpacks the beautiful statues from our Fair-Trade sister company in Calcutta, India. The statues arrive carefully hand-packed in large crates. It can take more than three months for your statues to travel from the hands of our artisans in India, cross the ocean aboard a ship, and arrive at our Gaia Center in Virginia. Here's some pictures from our last unpacking day:

Andy, Steve, and Roberta join in to unpack the crates.
