REOPENING UPDATE: APPOINTMENTS NO LONGER REQUIRED, SO …. COME ON IN!
After having been open a couple of weeks now, we’ve concluded we no longer need the ‘shopping appointment’ feature with which we began our reopening. Our walk-in customers seem to naturally space themselves out pretty well, so we’re going to just ride that flow instead and save everyone a lot of hassle! Two things to remember though:
(1) We will still be keeping our number of customers in the shop to around 10 people at a time so there remains a slight CHANCE you may have to wait a bit if a bunch of folks all show up at once — but we have a lovely front porch for you to enjoy while you do. (And a tip of the hat to Deb for the lovely flowers and a thanks to Cat for keeping her distance and not killing them all.)
(2) We are still going to be requiring masks for the time being. We’ll have extras on hand if you don’t have one — and if you and masks just don’t play well together, no worries! We still offer curbside pick-up and mail-order delivery — just give us a call or send us a Facebook message and let us know what you’re looking for!

So glad to be BACK!! Our hours are still a bit reduced from what they were pre-pandemic (so check those if you’re a regular who had them all memorized). And yes we do require masks and we are limiting our customers to 10 in the store at a time, given the size of our footprint. But if you want to reserve a time to make sure you don’t have to wait — check out our ‘Shopping in the Pandemic’ options up there on the menu bar. Realistically, we don’t often have to make people wait though so if you’re thinking of stopping by, don’t let the lack of a reservation stop you.
We are not yet doing any public gatherings or classes, but those shall return eventually. In the meantime, we have LOTS of new stuff — including the largest selection of Tarot & Oracle decks in town — so stop on in and get reacquainted!! (We’ve missed you guys!!) And if you haven’t been here before — well let’s just say you have a treat to look forward to. Hope to see you all soon!

We have reopened and get to see our peeps in person again. If you want to join us, book an In-Store Shopping Experience online at Heart Body and Soul Center: Shopping in the Pandemic –
(www.heartbodyandsoul.org/shopping/) or give us a call at 573-777-6771 and see what times we have openings (cause we still are limited to 10 people at a time). Of course, you can just take a chance and stop by to see if we can accommodate you then as well.
We are kicking the reopening off with a GINORMOUS JEWELRY SALE!! 30% off all sterling silver jewelry if you buy one piece, 40% off if you buy two, and 50% off if you buy three or more!!
Collective happy dances may now begin…. (Open 12-7, Wed-Fri, 10-6 Sat, & 1-6 Sun.) Don’t forget your mask!
We can’t wait to see you!!!!

Looks like it’s going to finally happen! Our plan is to reopen as of June 10. (Woot!!) We will still be operating with reduced hours — so closed Mon & Tues, open 12-7 Wed-Fri, 10-6 Sat, and 1-6 on Sundays. No gatherings or events just yet, but we will be open for S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G!!
That said, we do have to keep the numbers in the store down, and since we we don’t be in the position of either having to rush folks through OR leave people twiddling their thumbs outside, we decided to offer shopping reservations! You can sign up for a particular 50-minute slot and when the clock strikes the top of the hour for your time slot, you can waltz right in, no waiting. You’re welcome to browse, chat, and just soak up the vibe for the full 50-minutes OR you can swing by anytime during your reserved time slot, run in, pick up what you need, and be on your way. Entirely your call. And if you’re in the area and want to take your chances on getting a walk-in spot, feel free! If we have empty spots for that particular time slot, we’re happy to have you join us. 🙂
You’ll be able to reserve your time slot (aka ‘purchase your Golden Ticket’) on our website. [Look for the ‘Shopping in the Pandemic’ page.] There is no charge, of course, but ‘Woo Commerce’ still requires your billing info (name, address, phone & e-mail) to complete the ‘purchase.’ Sorry. We tried to find a work-around for that, but no luck. The good news is if you want to ‘create an account’ you only have to fill all that out once and after that it will leave you alone! In the meantime, we promise not to sell your info to any mailing list collectives and appreciate your patience. And you do always have the option of just giving us a call to reserve your time slot, as well!
Finally — yes, masks will be required. Sorry, all. (We hate them too!) BUT we feel like it’s the safest option for our staff and our customers and so are going to stick with that requirement for the time being. If you don’t have one, we’ll have some extras available on hand. (We also have some to sell if you want to stock up.) And if you just can’t do masks, we get it. We’ll still be offering curbside pick-up and mail-order delivery options.
That’s it. Excited to see you all again!!!

We’re so excited about this new product! Any time a crystal is polished, ‘sand’ is created in the polishing process. Well, now you can GET some of that crystal sand for yourself — amethyst, rose quartz, lapis lazuli, angelite, black tourmaline, green aventurine, or clear quartz. SO many potential uses for this beautiful, high-vibrational stuff that carries all the same energy as the tumbled stones from which it came: Create a base layer of crystal sand for a crystal grid, add some crystal love to your garden and plants, sprinkle it across your doorway or windows sills, create a lovely base around a spell candle, or get all the kinds and layer them in your very own crystal sand sculpture! The uses are only limited by your imagination — and we KNOW just how high that can go! Just $10 per jar!!

You pick the price and we pick the surprise! and every one is hand-picked by HBS staff just for you. We’ll ask you some questions to get an idea of your tastes (and yes, we MIGHT take a peak at what you’ve bought from us before if you’re a regular) and then we put together the perfect assortment. $25? $50? $100? $200? We can put together a fun box of unique items for any budget.
Just give us a call (573-777-6771) or send us a message on Facebook and let the fun begin! Mystery Boxes can be shipped or picked up in store. They also make great gifts. (And we had one brilliant group of friends who EACH got one for themselves, brought them all to their friends gathering, and did the grand reveal together! How fun is that??)
But no, Merlin, the former shop cat, will NOT be showing up in your box.
Sorry.
Or you’re welcome.
Or maybe a bit of both.

Several of you have asked if we plan to re-open after May 4 — assuming the current restrictions are not extended. While we are as eager to get back to normal as any (!!) we do NOT plan on re-opening quite that quickly.
We want to make VERY sure we are not putting either our staff or our Tribe in harm’s way by re-opening too soon. So for now, we’ll continue monitoring the various disease progression models and curve-flattening data (who knew such phrases would be part of our common vocabulary??) and will be sticking to our curbside pick-up and mail-order deliveries until the verdict is pretty clear that we’re safe re-opening our doors. (And thanks so very much to all of you who have continued to support us through this time. Those orders have made a BIG difference!!)
So stay safe and stay tuned! And, in the meantime, if you need anything — by all means, give us a call: 573-777-6771.
Thereafter, though, you can still get your HBS goodies via curbside service, mail order, or even in-person delivery (if you live in the City of Columbia).
So here’s how what the staff is affectionately referring to as “Drive-thru Spirituality,” [insert visual of Cat banging her head on the counter at our choice of this description], will work:
You have three choices on how to reach us:
(1) Send us a Facebook Message;
(2) E-mail us at HBSMagic@gmail.com;
(3) Call us at 573-777-6771 between 12-6 PM Wednesday – Sunday. (Please do NOT leave your order in a voicemail message. If you want to reach us outside of the above hours, send us an e-mail or Facebook message.)
Just give us your Full Name, Phone Number, Email Address, and List of Items. We will pluck your goodies off the shelves with freshly sterilized hands, give you a call to get your credit card payment information, and arrange your pick-up / delivery time.
If you are unsure of what you need or want some recommendations, we are also happy to walk you through options. A phone call during our business hours is best for this (573-777-6771), but you can also send us a message via Facebook Messenger or email us at HBSMagic@gmail.com. We can even arrange a Facetime appointment with you to SHOW you your options and let you make your own selections. (Merlin will undoubtedly appear in every call though. You’ve been warned.)
We are now offering Mystery Boxes! It’s simple. Just call, email, or send us a FB message with the amount you want to spend, some things that you like, and we’ll carefully select goodies for a surprise. These are available for shipping and curbside pickup.
4. Payments
At this time, we can only accept credit/debit card and venmo payments which will be confirmed over the phone.
5. Pick-up Hours
Store hours for Curb Side Pick-Up will be the same as for Phone Orders: Wed-Sunday 12 – 6 PM. Delivery times will be confirmed with you along with details re where to leave your package so no face-to-face contact is required. (Though we miss your faces!)
Oh…. and by the way, Cat & Deb have been left up to their own devices (again!) and we know what that means…. something new is brewing!!! So, when our doors reopen expect to see new and improved upgrades and offerings.
We do hope you will continue to support us and shop local first – even if it isn’t QUITE as convenient as before. After all, it’s how we all ensure our favorite places are still there to enjoy down the road!!

Nicholas Pearson will be at HBS on Saturday and Sunday, July 25-26, to offer a series of three workshops on working with crystals! You can take them all or take any one of the three on its own, but the choices are going to be tough: Crystals from Spirit to Science (Saturday), and Crystal Healing Techniques & Crystal Magick for the 21st Century (both on Sunday).
Nicholas has been immersed in all aspects of the mineral kingdom for more than 20 years. He developed a profound love for rocks and minerals in early childhood, and his passion grew to include the spiritual beliefs about stones from cultures around the world. He began teaching crystal workshops in high school, later studying mineral science at Stetson University’s Gillespie Museum. A certified teacher of Usui Reiki Ryoho and a practitioner of Jikiden Reiki, he teaches crystal and Reiki classes throughout the United States and has authored numerous books on crystals, including Crystal Basics, Stones of the Goddess, The Seven Archetypal Stones and Crystals for Karmic Healing. Deb and Cat got to see him speak at the International New Age Trade Show in Denver last year and immediately snagged him to come to HBS. Take our word for it — the man is IMPRESSIVE!! He lives in Orlando, Florida with his partner — and we are super-excited to welcome to Missouri!

All this hand-washing (which yes, we KNOW we should have been doing before, but hey…) is leaving a lot of us with hands as raw and red as our favorite health care professionals. (Should have been our first clue they knew something we didn’t, right??) Good thing, we have some AH-MAZING products that will let you keep your hands both clean (wash, wash, wash!!) and comfortable (lotion, lotion, lotion).
All-natural, super-effective options include creams, lotions, and body butters from some of our favorite vendors: Wise Women Botanicals, Wyndmere, Blue Felisha, and Nuwati. You can have unscented or some AH-MAZINGLY good smells. (Pearberry, Montana Huckleberry, Apricot, Lavender are just a few of our personal faves!) Come in and test them out, then choose your own faves. 🙂

Yes, we are open (with lots of extra attention to hand-washing and wiping things down!!). But we ARE reducing the number of events, so please read on for details:
(1) Presenters will each be making their own call about their events. We will be posting any cancellations, so please double check the Facebook event before showing up to make sure it’s still on. OR you can always just call us to see! (573-777-6771)
(2) After this weekend (March 14-15), both Saturday morning Coffee & Conversations and Sacred Sunday morning services will be suspended until further notice. We are looking into Facebook Live events as a safer substitute for one or both of those, so stay tuned to our Facebook page for info on those! https://www.facebook.com/heartbodyandsoulcenter/
In the meantime, we have lots of soap & water and hand sanitizer available, so please feel free to come in, wash your hands, share a cup of coffee, enjoy some conversation, wash your hands, do your shopping, and … (you guessed it) … wash your hands. (Unless you’re not feeling well, and then please give us a call so we can put your name in our Healing Cauldron and send you lots of good juju!) And in the meantime, remember …
