MEDIA RELEASE

Divine Goods Hawaii has packed up its hand-selected treasures from all around the world and re-opened at the Mango Court in South Kona.

Just in time for the holidays, Divine Goods offers gourmet chocolate and frankincense sampling and the opportunity to meet local artisans who fashion jewelry and create botanical products every Saturday before Christmas.

The fun is scheduled 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and featured Saturdays are Nov. 28, Dec. 5, Dec. 12 and Dec. 19.

“The intention of Divine Goods Hawaii is to be a catalyst for transformation,” owner Alessandra Rupar said, “be it with words, colors, smells or a healing remedy — whatever aids us to re-connect to the truth, to the pure frequencies mirrored in beauty and a feeling of “home.”

Divine Goods has spiritual objects to sanctify your living space and is the exclusive retail location of the high-grade Brazilian Healing Crystals from Feng Shui Master Consultant Marta Barreras. Divine Goods also offers renowned Chinese brush painting artist Shirley Pu Wills, award-winning local artist Stephanie Bolton with her Art Nouveau inspired Kona Coffee Series, and acclaimed artist Carol Adamson Greenwell.

In addition to art, find an array of healing potions, balms, essential oils, hydrosols and aroma therapeutic extracts to soothe a weary soul and uplift the spirit. Alessandra’s husband, Randyl Rupar, carefully extracts the essences of turmeric, a highly regarded spice and medicinal plant used for centuries in the East, and delicate rose geraniums to make hydrosols – also, known as hydroflorates – collected from the nearby Sanctuary of Mana Kea Gardens.

His passion for frankincense has garnered him the nomer, “Dr. Frankincense,” and the store permeates with this rich fragrance donned by ancient kings of Oman.

Alessandra Nicola Rupar and business partner Kathleen Akaka welcome visitors on a journey of all senses to remind yourself of your true inner beauty, gifts, talents, dreams and blissful state.

Book an appointment with wedding designer and event coordinator Akaka and bring your design dreams to your home and to your special events.
