The Peace Store is a cheerful yellow building.
Inside is crammed with shelves and racks holding all kinds of bohemian stuff. Hippie art hangs on the walls. Shelves hold a variety of bohemian decorations. Jewelry includes peace signs, flowers, and other hippie motifs. A sign advertises the use of a safety pin with a peace symbol pendant as an indicator of safe people. Lava lamps and dream catchers create a soothing atmosphere.
Many of the clothes have peace signs or other hippie motifs.
The yoga section includes inspirational artwork, clothes, jewelry, mats, cushions, books, and other equipment.
They also have a generous selection of books on peacework and other activism. The store sells toolkits for different types of activism. This one focuses on environmental issues.
