Born in a garage in Oak Park
Before COVID, owner Sarah’s energetic outlet was comedy. She performed, taught and produced at Second City, iO Chicago and ComedySportz for 16 years, while also spending 10 years in tech. She studied interior design at Parsons and loved using energy work on stage, in business and in interior styling.
When COVID hit and life felt too short, Sarah ended her tech career and set out to find beautiful crystals, build lasting relationships with mining families and set up shop in her garage. With peace and evolution guiding the process, Village & Vessel eventually found its home on Oak Park Ave.
“With peace and evolution as our guiding star, we look forward to creating spiritual space together.”
