The Bodhi Tree bookstore, the iconic New Age store in West Hollywood, Calif., that closed in 2012, is returning, according to an e-mail from new owner Stephen Powers and the Bodhi Tree team, which includes former customers of the store. Powers said that Bodhi Tree founders Stan Madson and Phil Thompson are acting as advisers. "Our whole team is excited to once again bring you spiritual education and life-optimization with authors and teachers that made us your home of discovery and awakening since 1970."
The reincarnation of Bodhi Tree begins with an online store, "with all your favorite books and greatly expanded lifestyle and sacred home categories." After that, Bodhi Tree will open a bricks-and-mortar store, "a new, accessible retail location in Los Angeles, which is in the planning stages." Bodhi Tree will also publish a journal and produce "transformational media."
