‼️Help Save Mystic Market of SEMO & Keep Our Spiritual Community Alive‼️
Mystic Market of SEMO — Southeast Missouri’s first truly metaphysical, spiritual, and alternative vendor market — is in danger of closing.
For years, our events have brought together 50–70 small businesses each, artisans, readers, healers, and community members for workshops, classes, fundraising, and shared spiritual connection for each event we host. We’ve raised funds for local charities, provided a safe and welcoming space, and supported small vendors whose livelihoods depend on events like this.
But unless we can raise $10,500 quickly, Mystic Market may not survive 2025.
Why We’re Asking for Help;
2025 has been the hardest year in my 10+ years as an event planner. Between major personal emergencies and lower-than-expected attendance at recent shows, I can no longer personally cover the venue costs as I have in the past. I’ve applied for loans, grants, and sponsorships — all without success.
This GoFundMe is our last chance to keep Mystic Market alive and continue serving our community.
Where Your Donation Will Go:
Every dollar raised will be used for event-related costs only.
I will post receipts 🧾 for all payments so you can see exactly how your donation was used. If we exceed our goal, the extra will be donated to Street Level Cape Girardeau, a local nonprofit that helps our homeless community.
Why It Matters
By donating, you are:
~Helping a woman-owned small business stay open.
~Supporting 50–70 small businesses whose livelihoods depend on this event.
~Keeping a safe and inclusive space for the spiritual community.
~Helping us raise funds for local underfunded charities.
~Making our Fall 2025 event FREE to attend if we reach the full $10,500 goal.
How We’ll Thank You
~All donors can sign our “Thank You” banner at the event.
~If you attend, you’ll receive an extra entry into our giveaways
~You’ll get a digital “I Helped Save Mystic Market” graphic to share online.
Mystic Market has been a labor of love for the last 5 years. People still tell me they miss my shop, Of The Earth Metaphysical Supply, and beg for its return even after closing my doors 3 years ago — but the Market is my way to keep our community together.
Please, don’t let this be the last Mystic Market.
Your donation today will help us pay the venue, keep 70+ small businesses earning, and keep our spiritual community thriving.
Donate today and share this campaign with friends who believe in supporting small businesses, community spaces, and local artisans.
I truly appreciate your help. Even if it’s just sharing!
