I don't know about you, but I've never met a crystal person who could tell me exactly why THAT one, out of a whole bin, had to come home with them. In the Crystal Appreciation Society we dig into both sides of that, the actual geology and history, and the part that's harder to put into words. You don't even have to pick a side.
What this actually is
Honestly, this whole thing grew out of the same question coming up again and again: "wait, what even IS that stone, and why do I feel this way about it?" So I built a place to dig into it - my classroom, live shows, and this whole community, all in one spot.
In here you'll get the real information:
And you'll get the part that's harder to explain on paper too, the pull a certain stone has that's hard to put into words. And if you think that part isn't real, I can even show you a little science behind it.
You don't have to already believe in the vibrations to feel them. But you also don't need to feel them to belong here. We love the curious, skeptical, and people who just think they're pretty.
Inside the group
Around here we like to stay open to the possibilities, and we believe that not everything has yet been proven by science. We believe in energy and in being curious, so we look at the science AND we trust how we feel.
Every so often I go live and pull out whatever new stock just came in. You watch it happen in real time, ask me anything mid-show, and put a hold on the piece you can't stop looking at before somebody else does.
Once a week I break a single stone down start to finish: how it actually forms, what the folklore says about it, how it pairs with herbs, color variations and how they affect the feel of the stone, and whatever information I can find about the material.
There's a whole classroom of free classes in here too. You don't need to already know the vocabulary to walk in and start learning.
Post your new haul. Ask the question you'd feel silly asking anywhere else. Somebody in here has stood exactly where you're standing and will tell you the truth.
Being part of the group earns you points toward higher levels, and higher levels get you free crystals. There are spontaneous giveaways along the way too. Yes, you earn free crystals.
Membership
Free gets you in the door and you can stay right there as long as you want, no strings. The paid tiers just add more of what's already working in here, plus a discount on anything you order from aHappyHippie.com. I'm not saying that to talk you into anything you don't need. If free is what's right for you, that's genuinely fine.

Come as you are
You don't need any of this figured out before you walk in. Bring your questions, your skepticism, or that one rock you bought and still can't explain, we've all got one of those. There's room for it here.
