ABOUT US
ABOUT ETERNAL SPIRIT
At Eternal Spirit, located in Unley Park, South Australia, just a 5-minute drive from the city center, we've been a beloved destination for alternative and spiritual products for over 25 years. We have a rich history dating back to its founding by Jan and Grant who established our retail shop back in 1997. Their passion and dedication then laid the foundation for what our store has become today.
In 2008, the devoted Peter took over the reins, bringing fresh ideas and a renewed energy that further enriched our offerings and deepened our commitment to the community. Under their stewardship, the store flourished and became a beloved haven for crystal enthusiasts.
In February 2024, current owner Yasmine embraced the honour of continuing this journey, blending the rich traditions of the past with her own innovative vision for the future. We remain deeply grateful for the contributions of all those who came before us and are excited to usher in a new era for our cherished crystal shop.
We're dedicated to providing our customers with a diverse selection of unique, high-quality products and exceptional service. From crystals and incense to singing bowls and tarot cards, we fulfill your spiritual and holistic needs. Our commitment to quality has made us the go-to destination for those seeking guidance and peace in their lives.
ABOUT YASMINE
OWNER/DIRECTOR Since 1ST FEB 2024
Welcome to Eternal Spirit
Hello and welcome to Eternal Spirit! My name is Yasmine (pronounced Yessmeen), and I am delighted to introduce myself as the new owner of this cherished metaphysical store.
A little bit about me…
As a Capricorn earth sign, I began my crystal collection dating back to my primary school holidays at my grandparents’ house. Also, growing up on a farm allowed me to develop a deep-rooted bond with the earth fostering a deep connection to spirituality and metaphysics that has guided me throughout my life.
I come from a lineage of courageous immigrants of Lebanese heritage who demonstrated resilience, dedication and hard work in order to provide for, and support their families and who bravely forged their own paths. From humble beginnings hawking, farming, and fruit growing, laying the groundwork towards entrepreneurship. As a 3rd generation Aussie, I am proud to carry on this legacy and continue their spirit of innovation and dedication.
I've always felt incredibly grateful for my family's sacrifices. Armed with the faith and trust my ancestors embodied, gave me the courage and ability to pursue various career paths in my life such as this one, plus my diverse background in the creative arts which is where I've been for the past 20 something years. Having worked as a singer, songwriter, and performer, and holding a diploma in music production, my experiences living in Los Angeles and London enriched my perspective and deepened my commitment to empowerment, personal growth and spiritual exploration.
After dedicating years to pursuing success in the music industry, I began to feel drained and unfulfilled due to the overwhelming competitive landscape and the current industry climate. I recognised my need for a hiatus and fresh environment to recharge and grow allowing me time to recalibrate so I can better integrate my two passions: spirituality and creativity. And I learned that when you relax and surrender, your path unfolds before you. Add in some courage and some bold decisions mixed with faith and trust, and that reflects my recent circumstances.
After having closed off various chapters in my life, in miraculous timing, Eternal Spirit came up for sale! As they say “When one door closes, another door opens”. It was then that sparked an unwavering inner knowing that this shop was meant to be part of my life.
I had previously been a customer of this store and understood the task I would be committing to, so before taking on the ownership of Eternal Spirit, I felt a strong calling to realign and explore my true purpose. This led me to spend six transformative weeks in Bali, where I embraced the beauty of nature and spiritual rejuvenation which cemented my certainty and clarity to embark on this new path.
Now having six months of Eternal Spirit under my care, my goal is to provide a sanctuary for all who seek to explore their spiritual paths and find harmony within themselves. Whether you are a seasoned crystal enthusiast or just beginning your journey, my team and I are here to support and guide you. Dedicated to promoting self-empowerment and healing, our aim is to create a kind and inviting atmosphere where everyone can discover their true potential. We are committed to upholding the warmth and belonging that Eternal Spirit has always provided.
I am grateful for the opportunity to continue this magical energy and legacy and I look forward to meeting each of you, learning from your experiences, and growing together as a community. Your support and patience during this transitional period has meant the world to me. I’m gradually deepening on my own healing journey and embracing the unfoldment of my new gifts. While I'm not yet a practitioner in the metaphysical field, the insights from those who are have deeply inspired me paired with the magic of the store, I believe it’s only a matter of time before my unique skills guide me in that direction.
Thank you for being a part of Eternal Spirit. Together, we can create a vibrant and nurturing space for all.
Peace & Blessings,
Yasmine
