It took Janet Wall several years to grasp the true power and confidence that comes with understanding who you are — something she now strives to teach others in her empowerment center, Sacred Energy.
Located at 261 E. 4500 South, Sacred Energy is unlike any other small business in the Salt Lake City area. It’s a unique space where individuals can participate in sound baths, meditations and plant medicine ceremonies. There’s a retail area stocked with a variety of crystals, sound bowls, books, journals and supportive herbs to support individuals on their life’s journey. The Sacred Energy tribe visits often to raise their vibration, learning how to use sacred plant medicine, finding friendship and connections, or working with one of the center’s energy readers.
The empowerment center has grown significantly over the past decade, and it’s all been fueled by Janet’s endless passion for learning and empowering others, a purpose she discovered in the most unlikely of places: the desert landscapes of Arizona.
Every year for several years, Janet left her Utah home and traveled to Arizona, seeking further knowledge and discovery. She participated in retreats and attended classes on spirituality, slowly gaining a deeper understanding of who she is. Each time, she returned to Utah feeling rejuvenated and inspired.
As time passed, Janet couldn’t help but think how wonderful it would be to have a similar place of learning and spiritual discovery a little closer to home. How amazing would it be to have somewhere she could go every day to practice and learn with others? The thought grew stronger after every trip until she finally decided to take a leap of faith and open Sacred Energy in 2015.
“My intention from the beginning was that when you walk into Sacred Energy, you feel safe and at home,” Janet says. “It’s never really been a business to me. It’s a way of life. It’s the way we live.”
At the time, Janet had no idea there were so many Utahns who wanted to learn more about spirituality and the metaphysical world.. She was pleasantly surprised to discover a community of people searching for more knowledge who were just as excited as she was to have a space close to home where they could gather together and learn from one another.
Janet's extensive inventory of stunning crystals attracts new customers and helps people step into the world of empowerment. For thousands of years, people have used crystals and studied their metaphysical properties. However, ancient cultures in Egypt, Greece, and China were the first to apply crystals to their practices.
“When crystals came into my life, it was a game changer,” says Janet. “I started with one shelf of crystals, one foot wide, five feet long. Now, it has grown into a shop full of crystals!”
In crystals, Janet found renewed passion. She loves learning about their benefits and seeing how they affect others’ lives. For her, there’s nothing quite like watching someone find the crystal that’s been calling to them and seeing them become empowered as they attend classes and grow.
Sacred Energy offers so much more than crystals, various classes to ground, educate and inspire, an incredible selection of various teas that support everything from chakra balance to immunity, digestion and beauty. There’s also tuning forks, various drums and sound therapy instruments, oracle cards, journals, jewelry, CBD blends not to mention a welcoming staff and angel tribe blessing every being. From the feeling you get when you walk through the door, Sacred Energy is more than just a store or a classroom; it’s a community working together to offer love and empowerment for all.
Janet is now expanding Sacred Energy to a new building across the street from the center’s current location that will include a coffee shop and cafe. This new space at 296 E. 4500 South, will bring in new ideas to help strengthen the community. And what better way to build community than over a hot cup of coffee or a tea blend paired with delicious food from the new Sacred Energy cafe?
These and other new amenities will help support the existing community and welcome new friends. It will be a safe place where those seeking connection and community can gather, learn, seek, ask questions, and find refuge with like-minded folks. With Janet’s open heart and boundless passionate energy, there’s no doubt this new space will embody the same core values that continue to inspire her today: love, community, and empowerment.
