Lavande Vitality House, a community-focused wellness destination centered around healing, connection and personal transformation, will celebrate its grand reopening on Friday, August 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. following an extensive renovation that introduces new healing spaces, an organic café, an expanded outdoor sanctuary and enhanced experiences for the community. The free grand reopening celebration will invite guests to experience the newly transformed space through live music, 14 local pop-up vendors, mini tarot readings, healing sessions, giveaways, food and beverage offerings, and opportunities to connect with Lavande’s community of healers and facilitators. The event will include a special talk from founder Krystia Rae beginning at 1 p.m., where she will share the vision behind Lavande, introduce members of the wellness community and celebrate the next chapter of the space. Guests can reserve their spot in advance through Lavande Vitality House’s event calendar. The first 50 registered attendees will receive curated wellness gift bags featuring crystals, self-care products and other local offerings. The renovation marks a new chapter for Lavande Vitality House with thoughtfully designed spaces created to support healing, reflection and connection. The refreshed property now features a rose quartz healing room, three elevated healing rooms for one-on-one sessions, and a new outdoor sanctuary complete with an outdoor shower, soaking tub for sacred bath rituals, infrared sauna, firepit and quiet zone designed for moments of rest and renewal. At the center of the renovation is the new rose quartz cave, a community-created space infused with intention and collective energy. During the renovation, community members contributed personal prayers, love letters and messages of hope that were placed into a time capsule within the room. Guests also contributed crystals carrying their own intentions, which were incorporated into the space as a symbol of shared connection and collective healing. Lavande’s expanded offerings also include a new organic café serving thoughtfully crafted, whole-food options designed to nourish the body and mind. The menu features signature beverages such as the Blueberry Dream Latte and Salted Maple Cloud, along with grab-and-go meal options soon to be available, including smoothie bowls, toasts, soups and small bites with vegan and gluten-free options. “Our vision for Lavande has always been to create a space where people can reconnect with themselves, find community and experience healing in a way that feels authentic to who they are,” said Krystia Rae, founder of Lavande Vitality House. “This reopening represents the next evolution of that vision – a place where people can come exactly as they are and leave feeling more connected, inspired and empowered.” Lavande Vitality House aims to redefine what healing can look like by creating an inclusive environment where personal growth, beauty and transformation are accessible to all. Following the reopening, Lavande Vitality House will continue offering healing sessions, workshops and community events designed to support guests on their personal wellness journeys.
