Starry Eyes RI is its community.
Creative, soul-centered peaceniks who gather here are the heartbeat of this space.
Every person who walks through the door contributes something valuable: an idea, a skill, a starry-eyed spirit.
Ask something of this space and it will ask something back: your presence, your openness, your vision.

Our Guiding Stars
Cynthia stanton
founder, steward, artisan, astrologer, guide
Cynthia Stanton is a native Rhode Islander and starry-eyed visionary. For much of her life, she has dreamed of building a soul-centered community of creative, forward-thinking friends. When she found her home in 2000, she received what she calls a “download” that this hidden gem in northcentral RI was The Place to manifest her dream. However, her own property was not large enough to encompass her vision. However, in 2020, bittersweet circumstances, gifted her with the opportunity to expand the property and make her dream a reality.
Cynthia is a colorful, passionate “Renaissance woman”; a born alchemist. Her innate talent, passion, and abundant Aries energy aid her in magically transforming whatever catches her starry eyes. She most enjoys helping others in a combination of truly inspired, mystical-meets-practical ways. Among her offerings at Starry Eyes RI are stained glass art and lessons, astrological counselling, and Interior Therapy (see Experiences).
