A Bit About Linda
Linda Bast, BA
CHIEF VISIONARY OFFICER (CVO)
LAKESIDE GEMS INC.

From my earliest memories, I've felt a deep connection to the natural world, particularly drawn to stones and their inherent energies. This fascination led me to establish Lakeside Gems (1999), a culmination of my lifelong passion. I've spent decades immersed in the study of crystals, divination, and energy work, building a strong retail presence and fostering a vibrant community around these practices.

My journey hasn't been without its challenges, notably the fire that destroyed my original shop in 2014. However, from those ashes, a stronger Lakeside Gems emerged, now in partnership with Chris Fouts, Geologist. I've dedicated myself to creating a space where people can explore the beauty and power of crystals and minerals, offering events, workshops, readings, and access to other practitioners.

My goal is to share my knowledge and experience, gained through years of study and practical application. I offer tarot readings, crystal workshops, and guidance in utilizing these tools for personal growth and well-being. I'm honored to connect with others on their own spiritual journeys and provide resources and support through Lakeside Gems.

At the Wellness Day Retreat, I'm excited to share my expertise. I'll be offering mini Tarot readings and coaching sessions for 15 minutes at $20, and a crystal workshop for $15, where participants will learn about crystal energy, properties, and divination, and each participant will receive a healing crystal.
