Casa Shanti, a house of peace and transformation, is a Fort Myers icon. Located in a 1911 historic home downtown, Casa Shanti’s cozy front porch hints at what lies beyond the front door; a healing ambiance accented by a del

ightfully eclectic variety of items created by local artisans and more from around the world. 

Casa Shanti’s metaphysical instruments for healing, such as crystals and gemstones, as well as tea blends, magical herbs, incense, home décor and art, organic health and beauty products, handmade jewelry and more are integral to the unique, non-commercialized space that is as authentic and genuine as the individuals that provide services there: “Leah Ryan, a talented licensed esthetician, Pamela Fisher, an Earth Mama and intuitive healer who creates potions, lotions and handcrafted items such as mystical garden crystal dreamcatchers, and Trish Trapnell, a third-degree Sekheim reiki master, who is also skilled in sound healing with tuning forks and vibrational therapy,” says Zachari, Casa Shanti owner.

“In Casa Shanti’s 12-year history, I’ve never had to advertise. Word of mouth built our reputation along with referrals and clients sharing with friends about the value of my services as a professional reader, which I’ve been doing in this town since I was 15 years old. I know I’m doing here what I was born to do, and so are Leah, Pamela and Trish. Spirit told me to go bigger now and make more connections. I listened just as I listened when Spirit said to start Peace Day,” says Zachari, founder of Fort Myers’ Peace Day in the Park, which has become a staple event for Fort Myers since it first launched in 2007. 

“For most years that Casa Shanti has been open, it’s just been me doing readings, offering energy work, classes and putting on events. It was only in the past few years that I added additional services and began offering local artisans a place to display their works. We’re back now to having activities such as a monthly spa day, holistic fair and days of offering services at special rates and specialty items in our boutique and apothecary where we carry fair trade items curated with love and the purest intent.

“People who come here often comment that they feel as though they’ve found a like-minded tribe where they fit in, and that’s just what our little Casa Shanti family intends when we hand them a warm cup of tea and make them feel welcome as soon as they walk through the door,” he advises.

Casa Shanti is located at 2052 Cottage St., in Fort Myers. For more information, call 239-208-9982 or visit CasaShanti.us.
