Origin: Weaving art healing and community

Origin is more than a gift shop — it’s a community gathering place and like a healing arts festival that happens every day. Downtown Fairfax is known for it’s collection of unique, funky and eclectic gift shops and boutiques. Origin stands out even here because it’s a community hub and local meeting place in addition to a gift store that showcases the paintings, jewelry and clothing hand made by local artists, craftspeople and healers from Fairfax and the San Geronimo Valley. You can drop in for a cup of herb tea, a massage, energy work treatment, buy incense and aromatherapy oils, and one-​of-​a-​kind handmade clothes, earrings and jewelry. Here you can also learn about local resources, and post to the Needs and Gifts board to offer a service or find something you need in the local community. Come on by – it’s very friendly and open every day. At night and sometimes right out front there is live music playing, a tarot card reading or other surprises.
