About Us
Welcome
We are so glad you are here!
If you landed here, we’re going to guess that you’re looking for a change, more insight, or transformation. Maybe you’ve tried meditation before, but something hasn’t clicked yet. Maybe you’re new to the idea of spirituality, and you’ve felt that tingle in you that whispers, “it must go go deeper than this.”
It does.
SapioCenter is built for a community of seekers just like you.
“I believe one of the loftiest goals a human can have is self-realization. The opportunity to not just know yourself on all levels, but to expand into that awareness that sits behind the self.”
Crystal Cassidy
Scientifically grounded. Spiritually aligned.
We created SapioCenter to blend the known — what the science shows us — with the unknown. Here, we combine science and spirituality to develop a platform that gets right to the meat of spiritual development. We encourage you to be a spiritual scientist, to dream, test and discover.
SapioCenter’s founder, Crystal Cassidy is a second degree black belt in Go-Ju Ryu Karate and spent most of her career in pharmaceutical development and biotechnology starts up until she found what called to her heart.
Crystal is a Reiki Master, Breathwork Coach, Kundalini Yoga instructor and Meditation Facilitator.
She combines components of this background and each of these skills to create SapioCenter: a platform that seeks to integrate different aspects of ourselves based on where we are on our journey, with the support of a courageous community.
What do we offer?
Who is this for?
We built SapioCenter for the searchers and the seekers. For those who want to dive deeper. It’s for all of you out there who want to more than manage your anxiety and stress, but transmute it. It’s for those who want to understand the different layers of your consciousness, a journey that only you can take.
We support our community to:
Align more closely to their intentions
Acquire an increased ability to find the present moment
Build more awareness around their life and their choices
Sustain elevated states of being that we all want
The more our community comes together, the more we are reminded of the strength of connecting around spiritual concepts such as authenticity, inspired action, heart-centered living, joyful expression, and expansive intuition.
The spiritual journey is about progress, not perfection. Just meeting your cushion is taking you half way there.
Our history.
Crystal founded SapioCenter in late 2019 as a hobby with the belief that there is an increasing need for spiritual spaces to be more approachable. Meditation and plant medicine had changed her life in the biggest way and she wanted to be a part of that elevation for others. She started bridging ancient practices with new ideas and concepts to make spiritual development accessible to those ready for it. And while she believes that mindfulness is a critical entry point, a full spiritual life can encompass so much more.
Crystal began hosting small groups for visualization journeys in her home. They explored different themes and practices together. The feedback was overwhelming and got her thinking — people are looking at their lives through a different lens after these meetups, is there a way for her to help them do even more?
Then March 2020 hit. Before the world really knew what was happening, Crystal came down with a severe Covid infection. She was bed-ridden for 45 days and didn’t fully recover for more than a year. In the midst of this recovery, she felt the pull to restructure her life. She started working on what called to her soul.
Her curiosity and passion morphed from a hobby into a full-time mission—SapioCenter was taking form.
Explore. Expand. Elevate.
Why Sapiocenter?
We are firm believers that exploring spirituality is a unique and powerful way to enjoy a deeply meaningful life. No two person’s journeys are the same. There is no one way. Progress is more optimal than perfection. Experiences of consciousness expansion inevitably get weird. We’re about it. We’ve built our programs to be inclusive, restorative, educational, and — most of all — lighthearted.
You won’t find any dogma or judgment here.
Here’s what you will find:
✔ Programs and resources supported by scientific data

✔ A warm, welcoming community that will help to hold you accountable.

Neither are we. Religion and Spirituality are really two different concepts, and they can play well together, or separately. Spirituality is free of dogma, of adherence to any one way of doing things, and is about the individual's direct experience of self-realization. Spirituality does not necessitate an intermediary to commune with the infinite, it helps you develop the faculties to do that yourself.
-
Hard no. Therapy is great and we are major proponents of it. Therapy is meant to deal specifically with your patterns and traumas. Spiritual practice is meant to dive deep into the superconscious state and discover who you are across all space and time.

An eclectic combination. There are influences of Buddhism (from 12 years of traditional martial arts), Vedic philosophy, Kriya and Kundalini Yoga. We also incorporate breathwork and Reiki. Lastly, when it comes to the intuitive arts, we are certified in Akashic Records reading.
