Dedicated to helping Alexandrians find serenity in their lives, this specialty shop supplies an inventory of candles, fountains, home decor and items to make their homes and spirits more peaceful places. The store is also a hub for community and creative events, helping folks understand meditation in free weekly classes. Film events, discussion groups and coaching classes are also offered free of charge or for a small fee. Its own effort to make the world better is obvious: a portion of every sale at Mindful Hands benefits charities like the National Wildlife Federation and El Shaddai Street Child Rescue.
