Conversations with Chloe Tiwary

Today we’d like to introduce you to Chloe Tiwary.

Hi Chloe, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I am the owner of Three Six Nine Collective LLC located in Pueblo, CO. We are a family owned and operated small business that specializes in Metaphysical Supply and Services like Energetic Cleansings for new spaces and Reiki Healings by appointment. Our journey began with a generational love of crafting. It was my late grandmother who taught me the ins and outs of making jewelry. She used to volunteer at the hospital here in Pueblo and would make inventory for the gift shop. It was one of our most prized past times together, she was an amazingly talented woman. In 2016 she inspired me to begin a little business with our creations. We used to talk about all sorts of interesting philosophical ideas and she was very proud of my search for spirituality and so I named it 369. When she passed away a year later I was deeply devastated and turned to our jewelry as a kind of therapy. I was a mother at this point and not too much later I was married with another on the way and so the “business” didn’t grow much beyond a past time for several years.

But in the Spring of 2022, I found myself a full-time mom of a precocious 7-year-old and now a beautiful 2-year-old that had just received an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis. It was then that I realized that going back to work in the ways that I had before wasn’t going to be an option for me anymore and so I scraped together a little bit of money and turned my past time into an LLC. I started out with local vending opportunities and eventually joined an artist collaboration where we all had shelves inside of a store together. By now my husband had gotten interested and started rockhounding and foraging for medicinal herbs. My little jewelry business was quickly outgrowing my shelf and really starting to diversify inventory.

We now sold crystals, candles, herbal remedies, and a host of other holistically inclined products and decided that I was gonna need a space of my own. In March of this year, I rented a room in an office building attached to the Daylight Donuts off Highway 50 and created the “TARDIS” as I affectionately call her. That is a Dr. Who reference– it’s what the Doctor used to call his magical time machine spaceship that was “bigger on the inside”. See my little shop may be small but the energy is truly magic and there’s more inside of it than anyone ever realizes.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
369 has truly grown with me for the better part of a decade. It’s been with me through the loss of family, the COVID pandemic, and many other trials. And to be completely honest “she” is truly representative of my spiritual journey more than anything else. As I have grown in Spirit she has grown in scope as well. And the closer I get to true alignment the greater she seems to become.

Since the LLC her development has been slow and steady and while I go through my own personal pitfalls from time to time, I truly believe that as long as I remain on this path of enlightenment she will prevail. Somehow I just know that she is my purpose. She enables me to share not only pretty things but pretty things that heal, with the world. We represent “ornamentation aimed at elevation” and for as long as we live authentically in our purpose the universe will continue to provide a smooth path to growth.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
So 369 began as Three Six Nine Adornment which was all about making pretty jewelry that made people feel good about themselves. By the time she became an official business entity, we had both grown so much that the “Adornment” aspect no longer encompassed all that we did. And so she became “Three Six Nine Collective”. The idea of “healing jewelry” became central to my craft and I began to work pretty much exclusively in crystal and stone so that every piece had purpose above and beyond ornamentation for ornamentation’s sake.

The Collective idea made space for me to expand into other ways of offering healing so we make organic soy candles with intention, herbal soaps and wax melts, and even our own all-natural Florida Water that we cure every lunar cycle under the Full Moon. We also partnered with a lady who grows organic wild grandmother sage on her land outside of Taos, NM, and makes the most beautiful smudging bundles that are genuinely ethically sourced. One of my favorite services that we provide is Custom Wellness Bundles. For example, a lady reached out to me because she was having hip surgery in a week and wanted some holistic healing to aid in her recovery.

With just a few details about her favorite scent (fresh bamboo and sandalwood), colors (green, blue, and purple), and goals (better sleep and skincare) we put together a wellness bundle that blew her away and, in her own words, made her recovery “feel and smell like a breeze”. We pride ourselves on connecting with every customer. I love being in the shop when a new person walks in and learns a piece of their story.

It feels so good to be able to have an honest exchange about healing and wellness while providing just the thing to help them on their journey. I am truly passionate about spiritual growth and I’m looking forward to a lifetime of being able to help others grow alongside me.

Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
Leading a truly authentic life. It’s something I’m still mastering but I’ve come to realize it is the key that unlocks all doors. When you raise your vibration to one of authenticity everything that is meant for you finds you.

And that includes people, it may be mentors or clients. It’s absolutely true that “your vibe attracts your tribe” and what is meant for you will never miss you if you focus not on chasing but on attracting.
