If you've had the opportunity to get to know me, or simply talk with me, you'll probably remember that I am a very firm believer that our beloved Eureka Springs, Arkansas is an Earth vortex. Please allow me to explain . . .
Since first moving here in June 2018, I've come to understand (and firmly believe) that Eureka Springs is a place where the energy of the Earth is said to converge and create a powerful spiritual resonance for all beings to experience.
Here, the very fabric of the Earth seems to resonate with a mystical energy and Eureka Springs is a destination where the convergence of natural elements, geological wonders, and a rich cultural tapestry weaves a tale of spiritual resonance and profound connection.
At the heart of Eureka Springs lies a geological marvel, an ancient network of quartz crystal deposits that energize the land with a unique vibrational frequency. Quartz crystals, known for their ability to amplify energy, create an atmosphere where the boundaries between the physical and spiritual realms blur. The energy stored within these crystals transforms the very essence of Eureka Springs, turning it into a haven for spiritual seekers and those yearning for healing energies.
The natural beauty that surrounds Eureka Springs further solidifies our status as an Earth vortex. Within our boundaries are lush forests, flowing springs, and breathtaking landscapes and it is these elements, more than just picturesque scenery, that hold a harmonizing power to allow individuals to connect with the Earth on a profound level.
The sacred springs and waterways that crisscross the region were once revered for their healing properties. The Native Americans deemed the land here to be sacred. The water built our town and made it what it is today. Symbolizing purification and spiritual transformation across cultures, water continues to flow through Eureka Springs, offering not only physical nourishment but also as a conduit for spiritual revitalization.
Eureka Springs is a town steeped in a history intertwined with spirituality. The roots are deeply embedded in the healing waters that have drawn seekers of wellness for generations.

Visitors to Eureka Springs often recount intuitive and transformative experiences. The air seems charged with a heightened spiritual awareness, guiding individuals towards synchronicities and a deeper connection with both self and nature. The thinning of the veil between the physical and spiritual realms becomes palpable, reinforcing the belief that Eureka Springs is more than a destination—it is a sacred space where profound spiritual encounters are not just possible but inevitable like the day that I took a selfie at The 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa and my Android cellphone went berserk and auto-changed my settings to black and white resulting in this weird selfie.

Founded and named on July 4, 1879, The City of Eureka Springs, Arkansas has welcomed visitors for decades. Although our little mountain town is known today for our incredible architecture, arts/events, history, antiques & shopping, as well as the great outdoors, the original draw was simply - natural spring water. As the story is often told . . . early Native American tribes believed that the cold mountain spring water that flows through these hills could cure ailments of all kinds, and for this reason all that surrounded was deemed sacred.
It was not long after the discovery of the healing water when health-seekers deemed these hills to be full of miracle cures and flocked to the area by the thousands during Victorian times, thus creating this stylish mountain retreat that you may still come to experience, even today. Here, we remain perfectly perched in these beautiful Ozarks surrounded by the grand, green curves of Mother Nature and we truly believe that this place is sacred.
One visit is all it will take for you to feel that hard-to-explain, magical tug on your soul - connecting you to this corner of the world. Nowadays, it remains to be said that the rejuvenating spring waters that continue to flow below the downtown Historic District and the surrounding Historic Loop continue to emit these mystical, magical energies that tug at your soul, ground you and connect you.
As you venture deeper into the mystique of Eureka Springs, you'll find that town's allure extends beyond the tangible, reaching into the realms of artistry and creativity. The energy that permeates the air seems to inspire and fuel the vibrant artistic community that has taken root.
