OUR THREE CLOSED LOOP INITIATIVES:

LOVED & RE-LOVED
INITIATIVE

When a St Soleil item comes to the end of it's journey, our community can participate by sending in their pre-loved ST SOLEIL item, in return for a 30% Store Credit Gift Card. Once we've re-collected the item, we will determine whether to re-circulate, recycle or donate. Marketplace return labels created by us are carbon offset.

We will also contribute to this initiative by closing the loop on seconds stock items, giving them a chance to be loved ♥

RE-BUILD & RESTORE
INITIATIVE

Over the course of 2023, you will see new individual product components pop up in our Marketplace. This means existing customers can upgrade individual items within their bundles, like a guidebook, or a specific replacement cards to, in essence, re-build and restore.

LUCID DREAMS EVOLUTION
INITIATIVE

Part 1 • Lucid Dreams our Best selling Tarot Deck is continually evolving with new components, upgraded or more conscoius finishes, new wisdom and knowledge and new artworks. As we naturally develop and evolve our offerings, we want to gift access to these new upgrades to existing cusotmers through this special initiative.

Part 2 • This initiative will also apply when we launch our Lucid Dreams Advanced Tarot. Where beginners will have the opportunity to swap their beginners edition for an advanced one.

ABOUT OUR PIONEERING 'CLOSED LOOP INITIATIVES'

Earlier in 2022, we set a goal to give new life to Pre-Loved and Seconds Stock items - as well as opportunity to access individual components and upgraded versions of our offerings - to prioritise our commitment towards a more sustainable, loving future. Our items are - always - authentically and intentionally crafted to bring light, wisdom and sacred illumination into the lives of our St Soleil community as they walk their journey on Earth.

We're excited to be able to offer these new initiatives that extend our Product Life Cycles, grant our community access to more, are mindful of our Earth Impact and give back - positve light and impact to everyone connected to the inititives. Which is how we believe it should be.

We're forever moving mindfully towards the future as St Soleil evolves, and have become ever-increasingly aware of how we can birth our creations into the physical world in collaboration and harmony with the Earth herself. A challange and mindful dance we move through everyday.

From carbon neutral shipping, carbon offset production (coming in 2023), small sustainable production runs, and the use of post-consumer, recycled and FSC approved materials where possible, our mindful contribution to retail consumerisim is of paramount awareness and importance to us. Which brings us to our new Closed-Loop Non-For-Profit Initiatives.

The main intention of this initiative is to 'close the loop' on buying and discarding and extend our product life cycles as consciously as we can. We want to support the continued sharing and re-circulation of all our creations; paper-based cards and books, ritual items and jewellery metals so they never end up in landfill or turned into waste where they can be harmful to the environment. Our jewellery can be melted down and used to created new St Soleil pieces, we can re-share our timeless Tarot and Oracle Decks, and donate to our chosen charity partners, our community will have access to aquiring replacement components and upgrades where possible.

We're blessed with a community who aligns and share these same deep core values as us. It's not a home of fast-pace consumerisim; we know each purchase they / you make is with deep intention and consideration, just as we are when creating each piece. We genuinely love and appreciate the beautiful, symbiotic relationship we have with our community.

Our items are minfdully crafted to last many moons to come, for one heart or shared between many hands and hearts in our community.

We believe in making changes to Retail Operations, by not only producing sustainable products but ensuring these products have the ability to share their magic over multiple-use life cycles. We believe our initiative should be a standard of the industry, not an exception

WHAT OUR COMMUNITY HAS TO SAY:

"I just discovered your Marketplace earlier this week, and I just had to let you know how in love and impressed I am with this initiative you have. My cat broke my St Soleil necklace (totally my cats fault, not a quality issue) and I saw this Marketplace while browsing to re-purchase the same necklace. I'm blown away. I got to return my broken necklace and purchase a new one for a generous % off. Just wow! It was so easy to use the Returns Portal, and I was given the Gift Card as soon as my package was scanned by the courier, so I got to buy my new necklace on the same day. This is revolutionary. I'm loyal for life!"
- B, Kansas City, Missouri
ⓘ Recycle / Upcycle': In B's case we were able to approve her return. We can give these metals a new life in the form of regenerated jewellery or other metal objects etc. This meant B's item was saved from being put into landfill and can be upcycled.
"I love this idea so so much. I'm a student, so obviously conscious of how I use my $ and having access to lower prices is amazing. I love exploring this cool Marketplace Idea because it means I can get my hands on more of what's been sitting on my wishlist...while being consumer conscious and enjoying that idea of connecting to spiritual community. It's like having a wider group of friends from all around the world, which I think is pretty cool. I don't mind that someone else has already loved it! It only makes them more special! I just really love this idea so much... thank you St Soleil"
- Joanna Rose, FL United States
ⓘ Joanna can own pieces that are new to her, that have been loved by someone else in the St Soleil community at accessable price points to her.
Yes, this is magical! I was looking forward to starting my Advanced Reading journey and was really excited when I was referred to come and take a look at your Marketplace space, it meant I could upgrade from a beginner into this who new space I was enetering into. I was able to send my Lucid Dreams in and have a credit put towards my now new Child Of The Universe Oracle. From only just discovering Tarot, to now ready to explore the whole new world of Astrology, I just feel so supported on my way! And.. it feels really nice to know someone else out there will have my original Lucid Dreams deck to learn from. It's like this giant beautiful Circle Of life. Love love love!!!
- Lara, WY United States
ⓘ Lara has been able to advance in her journey, with credit for tools and creations to support her new chapter and thirst for knowledge.

    • All St Soleil Items in 'well-kept' condition are recirculated to be owned and loved by someone new!
    • Jewellery that is broken. will be given new life in the form of regenerated jewellery, and ritual objects. That's why our jewellery is crafted from metals that can be melted down and re-used.
    • Items in any other condition can are also at times accepted. St Soleil works closley with Give N Kind a Chicago-based nonprofit organisation that matches returned, excess and misprinted stock items with local nonprofits.
