| Mission Statement We at the Illuminarium have been in business for over twelve years. We work with artisans, collectors and closely within the communities. We are Buddhist and do not support the occupation of Tibet either in concept or business practice. Further a portion of our sales are donated to Tibetan organizations which assist individual refugees and/or promote peaceful liberation of Tibet. Our Pledge The management of the "Illuminarium" and its' affiliate "Life in Progress" pledges to provide culturally significant items from around the world at the best possible prices. This is not accomplished at the expense of the artisans but rather in co-operation with them. We further assure that everything here is of a positive nature, no-matter how unusual or strange it may appear. It is our intention to further understanding between cultures, contribute to world understanding, co-operation and peace. We are proud to join the ranks of other small and large companies who conduct "for-profit" business in a socially responsible manner. Ancient Tibetan Artifacts All the items offered have been collected directly from the indigenous Tibetan people either within their country or from refugees. Every effort is made to conduct business in a honorable fashion; where all parties win within each transaction. |
