Kristin Kunhardt of Indigo Sky World is partnering with Healing Tao Institute’s Jampa Stewart, MSOM, LAc, and Lee Kancher of Right Brain Group to launch Valley Spirit Cooperative in October. The Washington Depot-based holistic cooperative will feature their three unique businesses with a common goal: to contribute to the surrounding community with services, teachings and products that support personal and communal healing by helping to energize wellness, feed the spirit and boost productivity.

Jampa Stewart brings 22 years of acupuncture and Chinese medical practice, along with 44 years of tai chi and qigong experience, to the center. Other healing modalities will include acupressure, massage, shamanic healing and facial rejuvenation. Valley Spirit’s spacious wellness center studio will feature classes and workshops in tai chi and qigong, meditation, yoga, mat Pilates, barre exercise and senior wellness classes led by select area practitioners.

In addition, Valley Spirit’s movement studio will host retreats, seminars, intimate music and performing arts offerings and pop-up galleries, storytelling, poetry readings and dances. Workshop and classroom space is also available for interested parties.

The retail space at Valley Spirit features Kristin Flagg Kunhardt’s landscape and animal photography with Indigo Sky World heading up the cooperative’s gallery and creative shop.

Graphic arts can bridge the gap between math, science and energy. Lee Michael Kancher of Right Brain Group integrates quality computer programming, branding and design aesthetics with research, organization and business planning.
