Radiance, in Lancaster, is committed to the concept of fair trade as a way to connect in community with makers of traditional crafts and clothing worldwide. They are continually growing their selection of beautiful and useful items from all over the world such as baskets from Ghana, brass sculptures from Burkina Faso, singing bowls and meditation cushions from Nepal and Tibet, handknit hats and shawls from Peru, clothing from India, Nepal, and Thailand, slippers from Morocco, Kantha quilts from India and more. They also offer books, stones, art, items for spiritual practices, jewelry, candles and incense.

 Owner Sarah Preston was introduced to the idea of fair trade early on. She says, "When I was a child, we lived part of each year in the far north of Canada in an indigenous community. There, people that I knew made moccasins from moosehide, mittens and other items. The style was particular to that community in that part of the world. The items were made for survival and wellness. As I got older, I became aware that in different parts of the world, people used what they were familiar with to create things for beauty, spiritual practices, for food, shelter and clothing. I learned that this is true worldwide, that handmade things are about taking care of themselves and their community. Regarding the idea of fair trade, if we are all part of a global community, we can support people in the things that are traditionally made as opposed to encouraging jobs in factories where plastic bags or computer parts are made. We can show a respect of cultures, rather than charity. We can acknowledge that we are all one in a global community. Fair trade is showing respect for how other people live."

Her herbal offerings, Herbs from the Labyrinth, are part of a larger understanding of how the concept of wellness and optimal health fits into community wellness and then extends into the world and our interconnectedness. Preston has studied with noted herbalists Rosemary Gladstar, Susun Weed, Deb Soule, Matthew Wood and many others.
