Inspirit Common has moved!
As you have likely heard, Inspirit Common has moved to downtown Northampton.
Since opening in 2005, Emily, Bucky and Kadin Zo have been working hard to create an inviting space that supports individual spiritual paths, personal wellness, and community events. Thousands have passed through our doors; most feeling uplifted in some way after their experience with us.
However, the ongoing "recession" has affected millions of businesses in the US and around the world. We don't view ourselves as *just* a business, but at the same time, we have not been immune to the current economic environment. As a result, we have chosen to reduce our overhead and streamline our operations. We are reconfiguring our grand vision, so we can continue to serve our community, regroup, and prosper.
We will continue to update this page as we learn more about our shared future.
Thank you for your support!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where Is the new Shop?
A: The shop is now located at219 Main Street in Northampton, formerly Ritz Camera, across from City Hall. You can get driving directions by using Google Maps.
Q: How can our clients help?
A: Thanks the the assistance of dozens of clients, friends and family, we have re-created our shop beyond our wildest dreams.The task ahead for everyone is to help us get the word out, so tell your friends how excited you are that we have moved to downtown. We have flyers you can hand out, you can send a personal email with our new information or forward our monthly email. We find our best advertising is our own customer base and we appreciate that power.
Q: Where is the best Place to Park?
The new shop is very centrally located to a lot of easy parking. There are two-hour meters along Main Street and behind us in the Masonic Street Lot. There are 25 10 hour meters and long term partking lots within a couple blocks. We have updated the City of Northampton's parking map with green lines to identify these 'red top' long-term meters banks closest to our new shop. We've also put our logo on our new location so you can find us if you need. Remember the first hour in the parking garage behind Thornes market is free, so if you just need to come and pick up some necessities, that's a very good option.

A: We have secured a healing space a couple doors down on the second floor and will operate our Healing Arts program out of that. More to come as we create this vision with a slate of talented healers. Our offering won't be as broad, bu
We have found several suitable places to continue our most popular regular classes, but have not yet finalized a contract. More to come - soon!
