Dharma Boutique: Fairly Traded, Sacred Gifts from India and Afghanistan

x close

ADAM BAUER

I love people, nature, music, and communing with the whole earthly

realm! I discovered massage and healing work in my teens, then found yoga and started playing devotional dance music. After a while I discovered kirtan, or sacred chanting, Indian-style - wow! I've always loved traveling and a few years ago I wondered if I might somehow alchemically combine all of it into one juicy ongoing adventure - and thus, Dharma Boutique was born. Welcome to my dream!
