Thank you for all your beautiful comments, sharings and memories of the Arati Store. Who knew when I started this journey 46 years ago it would touch so many thousands of amazing people in so many places. Thank you for your sustained support that made this journey possible. I’m looking forward to a new journey, again in uncharted waters called “retirement” where I will have more time for the practices, my pastel painting and just to sit back and enjoy the small pleasures of life.
My website, https://www.krishnaralphhilton.com has many of my paintings.
Radha (Anna-Lena) will continue her work as a healer and pilgrimage leader in the Wixarika indigenous tradition- work that she has been involved with for the last 25 years. https://www.traditionalshamanichealing.org/directory/anna-lena-hilton. She is not quite sure what life will be like with a retired husband!
After we closed the store other community members are now hard at work on the building to create a new venture to serve you all.
