Seeking Indigo is an everevolving creative environment
celebrating traditions, products,
and wellness methodologies
from afar, coupled with progressive healing modalities
and authentic local fi nds from
Charleston’s own backyard.
Fashion designer turned
Pilates instructor, Kathryn Peters,
and Dentist, Blake Kingsbury
teamed up with Charleston
Business woman, Misty Dahl to
roll out a new concept in health
and wellness. In the heart of
downtown Charleston in Upper
King Street’s design district lies a
hidden gem. A retail urban oasis
occupies the front of this 6000
square foot facility. Hidden
behind a hand carved Indonesian Geybog “wall” rests the
wellness center where ancient
healing meets modern technology. Services include Ayurvedic
treatments such as Shirodhara
and Ginger Compress, Japanese
Facelift Massage, Biofeedback,
Detox Foot Baths, Infrared
Sauna, Hyperbaric Oxygen
Chamber, Thai Massage, Morning Yoga Classes, and their
signature Migun Massage Experience - a favorite of most clients.
Shamans have commented that
The Migun massage experience
lies under a 100 year old Joglo that is directly in line with a major vortex of Seeking
Indigo and Charleston.
The Seeking Indigo experience begins the moment the customer enters the
space. Peters states, “We wanted to create an environment where transformation
and evolution can take place for everyone that enters Seeking Indigo.... A doorway
to new possibility.” We travel the world to bring you a unique experience taking the
best of the best that every culture has to offer in product with purpose and health
and wellness. It’s amazing that as soon as we set our intention to create a platform
where all could come together to realize their dreams, those dreams began to manifest in front of our eyes. When following one’s passion with purpose it becomes
effortless.”

When a customer walks through our front door, they are met by a 9 foot waterfall of Ganesh that is keeper of sacred spaces. As one meanders amongst the unique product from cultures near and far, they quickly understand this is a different experience than may have been expected while shopping in Charleston. At the center of the store lies an intention bowl filled with floating candles and orchids where customers are encouraged to give gratitude while tossing an Indonesian coin into the water basin... Around the corner, within the space, is the “tea house” where a large screen TV shows the journey to India where many of the beautiful home furnishings were found; bringing the experience of traveling the world right home to Charleston.
The combination of a retail store with a wellness center is just the beginning. “We had no idea if Charleston was ready, but we were willing to give it a try” says Peters. An now, the 3rd component to compliment the retail and wellness center is well underway. Only 6 months after starting this new venture the team is already busy working on a retreat center for release in 2011 on an island just minutes from Charleston. It is here that the Seeking Indigo will be rolling out their “integral living” concept where practitioners from all walks of life will come together in an Island paradise setting to assist clients in experiencing a weekend of complete transformation. Bringing together all cultures, practices and walks of life, Peters and Kingsbury, travel the world seeking to bring home that little bit of magic that they are able to experience on their journey. Having just returned from the Kumba Mela (where they where photographed in one of the Sadu tents on the banks of the ganges similar to that which was replicated as the ceiling in the sanctuary of the Seeking Indigo wellness center) the dynamic duo are continually inspired to reach new levels of development. By bettering ourselves and living life authentically, awake, aware and alert, hopefully we will be able to serve as change agents in a world ready for true evolution.
Creating Seeking Indigo has been a dream that has finally manifested into reality for this trio. Kathryn Peters, who is the visionary and managing director of the project, and Blake Kingsbury, who focuses on the philosophy of the organization, have implemented an integral philosophy which ensures this conscious business will flourish.
The book that most profoundly impacted our journey... The Integral Vision by Ken Wilbur which provides a road map upon which an integral approach to living can be applied. Our vision is that one day we will all wake up.... and we see this beginning to happen, little by little, it’s the subtle shifts that are taking place. Everyday we are inspired by a story we hear or a person that walks through our door and shares with us a little magic in their own life . The world is changing. It is time, We are ready!!!! May Seeking Indigo provide a platform to support mind, body, spirit evolution. Seeking Indigo is a Charleston Wellness Center that offers healing Charleston Spa treatments from all corners of the world.
