First and foremost, we acknowledge with respect that the region in which we reside, work, and thrive is situated on the traditional, stolen unceded territories of the Katzie, Kwantlen, Máthxwi, Semiahmoo, Stó:lō, and Tsawwassen Nations. We are committed to doing our part in the ongoing process of decolonization, unlearning and learning, and pledge to further the cause of reconciliation. We hold a deep reverence for the land, its inhabitants, and their ancestors, and vow to uphold the highest level of respect towards them. Partial proceeds of all our sales in store and at events go to our local Indigenous communities and causes.
At Phoenix Rising, our journey began with a simple dream. A dream of creating a space where individuals could freely explore their spirituality, find a sense of belonging, and feel completely at ease.
Established as a brick and mortar location in 2015 by us (Goldie and Jens), Phoenix Rising originated from modest beginnings: a travelling table and booth adorned with magic, herbs and crystals, fuelled by a desire to provide what was missing in our own upbringing…..a safe haven for spiritual discovery and community bonding.
From its inception, Phoenix Rising transcended beyond being a mere purveyor of metaphysical tools; it evolved into a sanctuary, a gathering spot for people to come together, exchange experiences, participate in rituals and educational sessions, and simply find solace. It became a realm where the inquisitive, the weary, the mystical, and the marginalized could discover a sense of kinship.
Through the years, we have expanded not only in physical space but also in essence. Upheld by the solidarity of our community, we have navigated challenges, celebrated triumphs, and found fortitude in each other during challenging periods. Our patrons have infused us with vitality; they do not just stop by to peruse our offerings but to forge connections, seek healing, and be part of an authentic experience.
Along this journey, we have fostered meaningful relationships with local community, practitioners and artisans, offered a diverse array of classes and services, and nurtured countless instances of personal metamorphosis. We also have our own Witchcraft School, Publishing Company and an Events Company!
However, amidst this growth, our fundamental ethos remains unaltered: to present a sacred space for all journeys, individuals, and their narratives. Whether you step in for a candle, a conversation, or a workshop, you are not just a visitor, you are an integral part of an important community.
