Our Ideals
Our goal is to offer products which add genuine value to people's
lives. Products with a positive benefit to body, mind and
spirit. To reach out to people around the world who understand
the progressive values of life and inspire them to strive
for their highest ideals. To offer our best to our customers
in a spirit of service and to maintain an exemplary level
of integrity in all our dealings.
Our History
Pacific Spirit was born in 1984, the culmination of many years
of commitment to living a spiritual life dedicated to simple
living and high thinking. It grew as an extension of our personal
interests and a desire to serve, coupled with a need to sustain
ourselves by some means of "right livelihood". As
our products began to sell we saw a need being filled. We
could provide quality products to a market unknown to most
retailers. The products we chose made a difference in peoples
lives. Both in the lives of those who labor to create the
products as well as those who receive them. As Pacific Spirit
grew we saw a much larger opportunity to share with our customers
our concern for the planet, the environment and the future.
And you, our customers, have let us know how much that has
meant.
Our Commitment
We are committed to making a difference. Some of the charities
which we support and have, over the years, donated as much
as 20% of our profits include: Greenpeace, The Nature Conservancy,
Rainforest Action Network, Amnesty International, Friends
of Old Growth, The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, Self Realization
Fellowship, Habitat For Humanity, United Farm Workers, The
Himalayan Institute, The Prison Project, The Sierra Club and
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Our Vision
On our many journeys around the world, what we've always enjoyed
most are the people we've met along the way. Knowing that,
in a small way, we have touched hearts and made a difference
in each other's lives. That's why these pages are filled with
treasures, many of which are made completely by hand. By purchasing
these handicrafts, you are supporting the cultural survival
of struggling indigenous peoples. You are sending a message
to the tiniest village saying, "your art is of great
value in this world". Together, we will make a difference
and the world will be a better place. So shop with a smile
in your heart. And remember, no two hand crafted items will
be exactly alike. so if you see something you like, order
it today, it many not be here tomorrow!
