About Us
Description
Founded in 1991, Kheops International, Inc. is a leading specialty importer, wholesaler and manufacture of New Age and metaphysical gifts in the United States and Canada. Our products are among the best known and most-respected in the industry. We offer unique, high-quality, meaningful gifts and spiritual awareness tools for all areas of the metaphysical and well-being markets.
We started Kheops with just three products. Since then, our lines have expanded to include more than 3000 unique products. Things sure have changed, but our commitment to the environment and promoting ethically made products at a great price never will. At Kheops it’s more than a product, it’s a lifestyle.
Our Story
To best explain our unusual story, which began in the summer of 1983, we will first need to examine our founder, Michael Deunov Cornellier. Michael was a public school educator who was disappointed with the system. He thought, “there must be other ways to raise children, with schools where children are nurtured in nature, where parents, teachers and communities work together to create a harmonious and sustainable environment.”
Keeping these principles in mind he developed a summer camp program in 1983 that was so popular the children did not want to go back to regular public schools. The children quickly convinced their parents to move together and in 1984, 30 families and 30 young adults gathered together to start an alternative school and an ecovillage in Ham-Nord Quebec, Canada.
This would lay the foundation for Kheops International corporate responsibility and our company’s philosophy of working together to create harmonious and sustainable environments, both locally and internationally.
Kheops International was founded in Quebec, Canada in 1991. At the time we only sold three of our Glass Art products: pyramids, incense holders and candle bases.
In 1994, Kheops International opened its USA division in Florida. We stayed there for nine years, working hard to increase our product selection and the Kheops brand. During this time it became apparent that we could better serve our customers and reduce our eco-footprint if we were closer to the parent company in Canada. The search for a new location was on. We found that perfect location in Colebrook, New Hampshire and moved the entire operation there in 2003.
At the helm are some of the students from Michael’s first summer camp. Today they are known as the green entrepreneurs. This group remains committed to the environment, to humane working conditions and to ethically made products. They have even established their own ecovillage in Colebrook the La Cite Ecologique of New Hampshire. Because at Kheops it’s more than a product, it’s a lifestyle.
