The business of 'New Age'

An Oakland shop called Psychic Reality is closing, but that doesn't deter Akemi Weaver from the "New Age" business. She dreams of opening a shop selling crystals, wind chimes, dreamcatchers and other objects thought to come with a spiritual value beyond their retail price. But people will have their doubts, Weaver found. “It means I have to figure out how to make new age stuff relevant to more people." More on Youth Radio.
