Angie Wood, visionary and owner of Parksville’s Infinity Gifts For Your Soul, discusses creating a spiritual empire for locals to learn in and grow from, all while inspiring the community to replenish and give back.

“I moved here three years ago this July,” said Wood. “It took six months to unpack 33 years of life from Port Hardy,” she said.

“It was like, ‘OK, I’ve found a place that I can be truly who I am,’” said Wood. “There aren’t many places that you can work at that encompass your beliefs or what you feel is who you are. When you’re in an environment that you have no one to practise with, you just keep concentrating and doing whatever it is that you believe in.

“In order for things to be successful, it had to be my own vision – it needed to be me creating what I needed to create,” she said. “I believe that the universe provides us with what we need, and that is why I love to do what I do.”

On the topic of following one’s bliss and tuning in to the ability to find one’s true calling, Wood explains the importance of keeping a healthy balance.

“We do all sorts of healing modalities, readings, re-patterning your beliefs and massage. Getting people together to help one another and inspire, because health is not just a matter of exercise and eating properly,” said Wood. “Of course that’s a big part of it, but there is also our mental health. Sometimes we need help to let go and learn how to fulfill our soul purpose. It takes a whole community to raise a child. And now, it takes a whole community to keep us healthy.”

In addition to all of the above, as well as tea-leaf readings, reiki and reflexology massages, Wood says that there are many different things happening at Infinity Gifts, though they all walk hand-in-hand toward an overall connection of happiness and well-being.

“We have a lot of different things going on in our brains,” said Wood. “And often times we don’t listen to the message(s) that the universe is providing us.”

With spring having sprung, Wood shares Infinity Gift’s warm-weather plans for 2017’s upcoming months.

“In the summertime, we usually have a variety of different readers,” said Wood. “They all clamor to work here on Tuesday nights and are all multi-talented. If we get enough people interested in something, we will put on a course with a teacher. We also do essential oil courses once a month.”

Infinity Gifts For Your Soul is also the drop-off point for the Manna Homeless Society.

“They always let me know what is needed,” said Wood. “Twelve months out of the year, I’m available for anybody to come by and drop things off. Right now, we’re focusing on first-aid supplies.”
