A great place to visit, an even better place to buy unique gifts!
I first went to the Sunlight of the Spirit to get some AA birthday chips. But once I got there, I spent over an hour browsing and I'm sure I didn't see nearly all there is to see. I purchased some very nice art glass for my beautiful wife and she loved it. On my last AA birthday, some of the guys from the fellowship bought me a laser etched stone plaque with the inscription "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." Jimi Hendrix
Even if you are not spiritual or aren't involved in a recovery program, you will find great gifts, for that special someone, or yourself. Books, art, CD's, jewelry, statues and a lot more.
If you don't enjoy this shop, you just don't like to shop!
My Favorite Midtown Haven
I was drawn into Sunlight of the Spirit by the positive energy I sensed walking by. What a find! Every chance I get to come to Midtown I go to Sunlight for a boost of serenity. They always have soothing music playing, the best price and quality of Tibetan singing bowls, and I leave feeling as if I've been meditating for an hour. Thanks for being there and the service you provide in the community!!!!
Owners Give Back! :-)
When I enter the store, I am immediately drawn to the beautiful merchandise so artistically displayed. There is such a variety from which to choose such as artwork, jewelry, books, cards and more. Each time I've visited the store I have found just the right gift for another plus a little extra for me! Because I know that the owners give a large percentage of the profits to charity, I feel that I am actually giving back to the community when I spend my money there. Sunlight of the Spirit has become one of my favorite shops to visit!
My Heart Opens in this shop
Each time I walk into Sunlight of the Spirit, my heart opens to the possibilities that come with the hope of a new day. The inventory is varied and meets every need. The store itself feels like a big hug! One must certainly take your time when looking around as there is much to see that evokes so many positive memories and emotions. By the time I leave the store, I feel as though I have been somewhere far away from Sacramento. I feel calm, cared for, and centered. Sunlight of the Spirit has become one of my favorite stores. Karen and Ed have always been two of my favorite people. The store they have created is sacred and soulful.
Love this Shop
I love Sunlight of the Spirit. I've been in the store 5 times and each time have been able to find the exact right gift I needed. The staff are pleasant and helpful and I always leaving with a calm spirit. This is the best place I've found for spiritual books and recovery items all in the same place. This if my new favorite store in Sacramento.

I was in the store for my first time yesterday, searching for a gift for a very ill friend, and a non-traditional wedding gift for another. This is a jewel of a store with a wide selection to choose from. I highly recommend it!
