Meet Zandra
A little mix of desert dust, a little magic and a whole lot of soul …
Hello and Welcome to Peace Vibes Collective, I’m Zandra, the woman behind the gemstones, silver, feathers, earthy treasures, spiritual tools and little pieces of magic you’ll find here.
For me Peace Vibes was born from a feeling.
A feeling that the things we wear and surround ourselves with can be more than beautiful. They can carry meaning. They can remind us who we are, what we believe in, and the parts of ourselves that we sometimes lose along the way.
For as long as I can remember, I've been drawn to the wild, the mystical and the earthy — that means the desert landscapes, the spirit of the Southwest, the freedom of the cowgirl soul, ancient symbolism, feathers, stones, stars, moonlight and the feeling that there is something deeper happening beneath the surface of everyday life.
I suppose you could say Peace Vibes is my way of bringing a little of that world into our own.
This is my journey too...
I wish I could tell you I created Peace Vibes because I had a perfectly clear vision of who I was and exactly where I was going, truth is I didn't. In many ways, I created it while I was finding myself and still am!
My journey began with inspiration from a course by Kyle Gray on crystals and crystal healing, which opened a door for me into a deeper exploration of spirituality, intuition and what might happen when we begin listening to that quiet voice within, something that has been desperately missing in my life for far too long! Later, during a business course with Colette Baron-Reid, I connected with my spirit guide, Red Feather, who had connections to the great Crazy Horse. That experience has stayed with me.
It became part of the thread that eventually led me here — to this little collective of jewellery, home décor, gifts, spiritual tools and soulful things that feel like they belong somewhere between the earthly and the mystical and where I belong too! You see, after some pretty gnarly experiences back in the early 2010’s I lost myself and my connection to my higher self all because I allowed someone to punish me for knowing who I was and it has taken along time to return home, to myself! I'm still on the journey and I am I'm still learning to trust my intuition once more! Still learning to listen., still peeling away the layers of who I thought I was supposed to be and discovering who I actually am underneath them.
II’m also here because of my own twin flame journey, and how it has brought up some pretty deep lessons around love, self-worth, surrender, boundaries and becoming the most authentic version of myself. Some days I feel completely connected and other days I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing and you know what? Maybe that's okay. Maybe we aren't meant to have it all figured out!
Wear your story.
I've always felt that jewellery can be a kind of personal talisman, something you put on in the morning and somehow feel a little more like yourself. A gemstone stone that catches your eye or silver or copper piece that feels like it has a story to tell. Maybe it’s a feather that reminds you to trust your path or just a piece of jewellery that makes you feel wild, feminine, free or just a little bit badass ( and who doesn’t like to feel like a badass warrior chick?). You don't necessarily have to explain why you're drawn to something, sometimes your soul knows before your mind does and that's the feeling I'm looking for when I choose or make pieces for Peace Vibes.
I'm drawn to the desert cowgirl, the wanderer, the wild woman, the mystic, the seeker and the free spirit, the person who doesn't quite fit neatly into one box, but the person who follows their own trail. The person who wants their home and their jewellery to feel like an extension of who they are! And if that's you... I see you and I honour you!
Earthy things for soulful people
Peace Vibes brings together Southwestern jewellery, earthy home décor, culturally inspired gifts and spiritual treasures, alongside my oracle and tarot readings. It's a place for the things that make you stop scrolling and think: Oh... that's so me.
I want this space to feel a little like wandering into an old desert trading post at golden hour — warm earth beneath your feet, turquoise catching the sunlight, sage in the air, music drifting somewhere in the distance and the feeling that you've stumbled across something meant just for you. A little wild, a little magical, a little mysterious, but always grounded in the real world.
And then there are the cats...
At home, I'm accompanied by my three exotic short haired cats — because apparently three fluffy spiritual supervisors are essential to running a small business. They keep me grounded or completely distracted depending on the day! And maybe, just maybe that's what Peace Vibes is really about, finding magic in the ordinary and beauty in the imperfect. Listening to our intuition and letting ourselves evolve. Slowly and courageously, becoming more of who you really are! I'm not here because I've reached the end of my journey, I'm here because I'm walking it too and if something you find here helps you express a part of yourself, makes you feel beautiful, brings a little magic into your home, or simply makes your soul smile…then Peace Vibes has done exactly what I hoped it would.
I leave you with this…
Follow your intuition.
Wear what feels like you.
Take the road less travelled.
And always leave a little room for magic.
With love, dust, turquoise & a little bit of magic,
Zandra xoxo
Founder, seeker & fellow wild soul
