The idea
I believe spiritual and wellness products are becoming everyday mainstream retail, not a niche category, and distributor demand is confirming it. This basket owns that shift three ways: the big-box and discount retailers building out wellness aisles, the marketplaces and storefront tools where independent spiritual makers sell, and the brands behind everyday rituals like candles, yoga, and self-care. I keep it broad on purpose, with steady retailers as ballast, some content and audio exposure, and a modest cash reserve, since I see this as structural and multi-year rather than a quick trade.
