Exhibit: Jillian Barthold
Mar 8 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Art Exhibit

Treasure From

by artist Jillian Barthold
March 8 through June 2, 2019


A new art exhibit in a vintage travel trailer turned into a permanent art gallery, at The Sou’wester Lodge

‘Treasure From’ is a new series of illustrations by Portland-based artist Jillian Barthold that explores her relationship to the objects surrounding her and their worth – while removing the word worth from the context of monetary value. The series examines what constitutes treasure to an individual and finds that perhaps most often, treasure is less about the object itself and more about where it comes from.

OPENING RECEPTION on Friday March 8, 6pm-9pm.

OPEN: Fri/Sat/Sun 9am-9pm (and by request: visit the lodge front desk and we’ll open the gallery for you)

Art Gallery & Opening Reception free and open to the public.

Jillian Barthold is an illustrator, designer, and maker originally from nowhere, but currently living in Portland, OR. Her work is heavily inspired by the Japanese world view or aesthetic of wabi-sabi, travel, and child-like wonder. She creates and makes many things under the moniker Monster Songs. Other enjoyments include, but are not limited to, staring at the moon, sitting in the ocean, and playing fetch with her cats.

This trailer is a 1960’s Aloha made in Aloha, Oregon. It was rescued from a neglected RV park in the northern part of the Long Beach Peninsula. Now repaired and transformed into an art space, this art gallery is part of our Artist Residency Program and our non-profit organization, Sou’wester Arts.

WEEKLY WELLNESS OFFERING

Guided Meditation with Adrian

Adrian is an visual and culinary artist delighted by the wonder of life. She is dedicated to the pursuit of wellbeing and finds awe, strength, and joy in the practice and study of yoga and meditation. Adrian has found solace and spaciousness through meditation.

Mar 27 @ 11:00 am – 3:00 pm

Winter 2019 Workshop Series

Intro to the Subtle Body Rainbow: An Introductory Journey Through the 7 Major Chakras with instructor Emily Dalsfoist

This class is part of a 2-day mini-wellness series on the energetic body. The classes are geared to be in tandem but are also “stand alone” workshops and may be attended separately. See below the details for the 1st class. (The 2nd class is The Subtle Body: Essential Oils, Movement, Mudra and Mantra to Balance the 7 Major Chakras and details can be found via title link.)

In this workshop, you will learn about the basic attributes of the subtle body (energy body) and it’s 7 major energy centers, or chakras. Explore the landscape of this system through meditation, art, movement and questions. You will be offered simple practices and insights that support alignment and balance throughout these energy centers in your own body. The intention is that each participant walks away with a deeper connection with their innate power and sense of Self.

Emily Dalsfoist is a musician, yoga teacher and essential oil lover and educator living in Portland, OR. During Emily’s first yoga teacher training in 2009, she developed an interest in the subtle body and chakra system. She is fascinated with the human body and the relationship between the subtle and the more tangible aspects of the human experience. Since 2010, Emily has completed multiple continuing education courses and has been a facilitator for teacher trainings as well as workshops and lectures on the subtle body system and essential oils. She guides her workshops through a trauma informed lens and with an intention of supporting her clients in their personal healing journey. She facilitates with a wholistic approach and includes a plethora of healing modalities that she has studied and experienced. “I am forever humbled and inspired by the continued adventure of self-inquiry, play and reflection and the bravery of each individual who shows up to do the work. It is a gift for me to be your guide and to learn from you.”


COST: $35 (plus a $10 material fee) Please pay material fee directly to the instructor. Special discount of $60 for both this class and the class on March 30th. (Material fee remains $10 for each class.)

The Subtle Body: Essential Oils, Movement, Mudra and Mantra to Balance the 7 Major Chakras
Mar 30 @ 11:00 am – 3:00 pm

Winter 2019 Workshop Series

The Subtle Body: Essential Oils, Movement, Mudra and Mantra to Balance the 7 Major Chakras with instructor Emily Dalsfoist

This class is part of a 2-day mini-wellness series on the energetic body. The classes are geared to be in tandem but are also “stand alone” workshops and may be attended separately. See below the details for this, the 2nd class. (The 1st class is Intro to the Subtle Body Rainbow: An Introductory Journey Through the 7 Major Chakras and details can be found via title link.)

Have you experienced butterflies in your stomach before giving a presentation, or trying something new? Do you get a “frog in your throat” when you have something really meaningful to say but don’t necessarily know how to express it? Have you noticed your bowel movements shift when you have traveled, changed jobs or homes? These are some of the ways our subtle body imbalances ripple into our physical experience. In this workshop, you will be encouraged to explore your personal relationship with your 7 major energy centers, or chakras, of the subtle body through multiple senses and activities that are fun, safe, simple and inquisitive. You will gain a deeper knowledge of your own energy and be offered simple practices and insights to practice at home that support alignment and balance within your own energy. The intention is that each participant walks away with a deeper connection with their innate power and sense of Self.

Aimee Ward is an intuitive and clairvoyant energy healer who works directly with Spirit to create personalized and effective healing protocols. Her tools range from working with guides and angels to using oracle cards, Pranic healing techniques, crystal programming and more.

She began her study of the esoteric arts at the age of 15 after experiencing a deep connection to the spirit realm during her childhood years attending church. It was there that she first met her spirit guides. In 2016, after taking an immersive Lightworker Training Course with Portland based lightworker Tatiana Sakurai, she began practicing and sharing energy healing, using aspects of Pranic Healing and Light Work. Working with clients, as well as a continued self-practice, has led her to creating the intuitive system she now uses. She is continually building her spiritual tool box to help herself and others peel back the layers, unfolding onto higher planes together with grace and joy. 

 

Garnet Griebel is a Reiki certified crystal energy healer and jewelry designer.  She has been working with stones through making jewelry for over 20 years and has been immersing herself in the energy healing properties of gemstones for the past 6 years.  Garnet is passionate about awakening, empowering and uplifting people to heal themselves by giving them the metaphysical knowledge, tools of ascension and confidence they need to go forth on their individual healing journey.

She has developed her own unique style of energy work, which combines gemstone chakra alignment followed by gemstone therapy, Reiki and talk therapy. Garnet has treated numerous clients using crystal energy healing while continually growing her healing and teaching services. “The great healer lies within us all, so as a teacher, I aim to empower and uplift people to heal themselves by giving them the metaphysical knowledge, tools of ascension and confidence they need to go forth on their individual healing journey.”

Radiant Fearlessness: Embracing Your Best YOU with the Tools of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation
Jun 29 @ 11:00 am – 3:00 pm

Spring/Summer 2019 Workshop Series

Radiant Fearlessness: Embracing Your Best YOU with the Tools of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation

with instructor Laurel Clohessy

This 4 hour workshop is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the joy, transformation, and rejuvenation of Kundalini Yoga, sacred chant, and creativity as you re-discover and return to your true self. Whether you are an experienced yogi, or this is your first time practicing Kundalini Yoga, you can benefit from this practice. Kundalini Yoga and meditation, as taught by Yogi Bhajan is for anyone and everyone. Just breathe, and lean in the right direction and you too will benefit! The best way to know it, is by doing it-so we will experience basic pranayam or breathwork, kriyas or yogic sets, meditations, and mantras that can become a part of your own daily toolbox. Tools to release stress, to unlock creativity, and be your best YOU. Kundalini yoga is often called “the yoga of awareness,” as it is a journey of self-mastery and one that activates all the systems of the body. We will enjoy the blessings of community-in a few group meditations and excercises, as well as the natural world-taking time by the ocean to practice a walking meditation. There will be a couple of brief writing and art meduims explored post-yoga sets. Kundalini Yoga is a tool to experience your birthright to happiness and greatness as the human being that you are. “Great challenges come to Great people.” -YB
I hope to see you there! Sat Nam

 

Laurel Clohessy (Deshpal Kaur) grew up with Kundalini Yoga sprinkled throughout her early childhood. She returned to the arms of this practice following the birth of her oldest son. In 2005 Laurel studied with Gurmukh to become a certified Khalsa Way Prenatal teacher. In 2007, she completed the Radiant Child teacher training with Shakta Kaur, and in 2014 Laurel completed her Level 1 KYTT with Sevak Singh Khalsa. Laurel often incorporates poetry and dance movement into her all-levels classes. It is her joy to share these teachings with others, and she sees the powerful practice of Kundalini Yoga as a compass that can always point us forward, as well as return us to the happiest, truest Self. Laurel teaches currently in Portland, Oregon and is a transplant from Flagstaff, AZ.

A Playful Summer Movement Retreat and Campout

with Monicka Koneski and Britt Rhoden

 

Join Monicka and Britt for this sweet little summer gem of a retreat, where you’ll have an opportunity to move in a variety of ways while enjoying the beauty of the Pacific NW Coast! Both of these yoga and movement teachers share a dedication to smart and functional movement while offering you a chance to reconnect with yourself through yoga asana, somatic movement, meditation, playfulness and time in nature.

 

 

  • Four classes are offered that are full of fluid, mindful, intuitive movement
  • Lots of time to dive deep into your inner body space
  • Explore fun and creative ways to increase range of motion and cultivate strength in your practice

 

Monicka has been teaching movement since 1999. She has had the honor of being a part of The Bhaktishop Yoga Center since its inception, and under the gentle and encouraging guidance of Lisa Mae Osborn and Hari-bhakti dasi, as well as a number of other inspired and influential teachers, she has completed more than 500+ hours of yoga education and training. When not teaching or studying yoga, Monicka is either engaged in her work as a licensed massage therapist where she is able to spend valuable one-on-one time with those who are looking to find ease, presence, and balance in their bodies, or wrapped in love and life lessons with her dear little son, Kavi. It is Monicka’s goal as a bodywork practitioner, anatomy and kinesiology geek, yoga teacher, Mama, and student of bhakti yoga to serve and honor each individual that she encounters, whether on the mat or off, in the best and truest way that she knows how. “Movement is still endlessly fascinating to me, but it is truly the connection to Self and Source that we may encounter while engaged in yoga practices that has me hooked.”

 

Britt’s yoga journey started at age 17. As her body and soul changed and shifted with the ebbs and flows of life’s tides, yoga was the compass that gently guided her into new territory. Now, more than ever before, yoga is the way she shows respect for the beauty of life and the energy of the earth. Yoga is where Britt plays and explores; it’s where she finds a sense of being grounded and a sense of stillness. Britt seeks to meet all students with authenticity, giving them space to explore their own practice. She is a class of 2015 graduate of The Bhaktishop’s 200 Hour Program.
