Sphere (FL MM19522) is a homeopathic based healing studio and gallery in the heart of downtown St. Augustine, FL. Founded 13+ years ago by a mother and daughter team, (Sandy and Heather) happily serving our community as healers, massage therapists, herbalists and artists.
The COVID-19 Stay at Home Order and mandatory closure of businesses is having a huge financial impact for Sphere. Due to Sphere being a healing business that relies on physical touch, and their commitment to the utmost safety for their clients, it is nearly impossible to project the end of this closure, despite when other retail businesses will open. We needed a way to help Sphere survive.
This is why we RUN! As Heather, the owner of Sphere stated, "Let's get outside, push our bodies, breathe deeply, nourish and connect with the Earth!" Join the community of Saint Augustine and beyond to come together, and participate in The "Sphere-It" of Saint Augustine COVID-19 Resilience Run, creating a community connection and global synergy to heal the world as Sphere heals one individual at a time.
"It would be a tragedy for the community to lose this unique and iconic business that has been woven into the fabric of the 'Ancient City.' Sphere represents the city's individual character that boasts small independent proprietors, reflecting the beliefs and values that are inherent to the 'small town' feel, while also attracting international travelers with their warm and personal touch." -- Sally & Mary O'Donoghue
