FUSE YOUR PRACTICE: Movement, Mind + Muse
Nov 5 @ 5:00 pm – Nov 10 @ 12:00 pm

This November Adrian Eberstein and Linnea Solveig invite you to untangle from the demands of everyday life to find personal and creative balance during a 5-night Art + Wellness Retreat fusion at the Sou’wester Lodge. Allow the cool ocean air of the Long Beach Peninsula to refresh your being and the warmth of community to fuel your creativity.

This retreat will offer you support through movement, meditation and healthy routines to nurture and inspire in your art practice. Through self-care and self-reflection we will cultivate a more holistic approach for maintaining balance in our lives. Daily meditation and movement practices will rejuvenate your mind and body to facilitate your creative flow.

During this retreat we will be focusing on sensory strengthening to develop a more integrated practice. For movement, we will explore a gentle, alignment centered approach to yoga, as well as exercises to promote strength and mobility that can be easily taken off the mat and into your daily life. For meditation, we will utilize simple techniques focusing on the present moment, judgment-free observations and mantras. Movement and mind practices bring more clarity into our artistic pursuits, nourishing and cultivating our inner awareness, as well as engaging and expanding our senses. To encourage balance and focus, optional prompts will be offered to extend our mindfulness into the studio. Together we will investigate how these practices can support one another and become more fluidly united.

Event takes place Sunday, November 5th through Friday, November 10th

Retreat offerings include:

  • Daily meditation led by Adrian
  • Daily yoga all-level Hatha  class led by Linnea
  • Communal gathering space for tea and exchange of ideas
  • Daily mindfulness and movement prompts to apply to your practice
  • Community dinner catered by Isoropia

Mindfulness Talk with Shanna Gillette
Nov 10 @ 10:00 am – 10:45 am

WEEKLY EVENT

Mindfulness Talk with Shanna Gillette

Shanna is a certified yoga teacher, ordained metaphysical counselor and empath. Her journey began as a small child inadvertently discovering deep meditation as an escape from abuse. Having always had an interest in the unseen and unexplained, she began having out of body experiences before learning to speak.  Eventually she received a regents scholarship to ASU for religious studies. A series of intense life changing experiences including a serious car accident brought her to the first of several “awakenings,” beginning most notably in 2005. She now helps people through the shift in consciousness we are currently experiencing, assisting them along the path toward self-forgiveness and self-love – the greatest journey of all.  

Truly exemplifying her favorite quote from Kahlil Gibran, “The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain,’ she adds, “The journey to wellness is a constantly evolving process where we learn to nurture body and mind beginning with the heart; To truly understand that the most important step to long-lasting good health and harmony isn’t necessarily about sweating our way to perfect abs or contorting our bodies into painful positions. It starts within. It’s about self-acceptance, self-forgiveness, and self-love. It’s about learning to accept and respect ourselves wherever we may be. Through the physicality of yoga, we tune into a deeper more expansive space beyond the trivial day to day. We learn that it’s ok to nurture ourselves and to ALLOW our spirits to be happy.”  

Shanna received her yoga teacher’s certification at Bryan Kest’s world renowned studio in Santa Monica, CA. She attended Arizona State University for Religious Studies, and is currently studying at the University of Metaphysics Sedona. She is available for private yoga and counseling sessions and can be found at:

Writing is Magic: Intuitive Writing
Nov 11 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Workshop Series at The Sou’wester

Writing is Magic: Intuitive Writing with Nick Jaina & Olivia Pepper

“Had I not created my own world, I most certainly would have died in other people’s.” – Anais Nin

Writing is magic and deserves the reverence and dignity we give to such things. Writing is also a personal discipline, not a competition, and it is much more than a means of gaining fame and recognition.

These workshops are devoted to going deeper with our writing, becoming better observers, better critical thinkers, and ultimately more balanced people. We can use writing to save our own lives and the lives of others. This is important work.

“If I have made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient observation than to any other reason.” – Isaac Newton

(Students are encouraged to take both classes, Nov 11th and Nov 12th, but are also welcome to join one or the other. The content of each class will be different. The focus of the class on Nov 11th will be on Intuitive Writing: finding methods to let go of your critical voice to generate material that will surprise you, teach you more about yourself, help you deal with questions. The focus of the class on Nov 12th will be on Mythological Writing: understanding forms of writing and storytelling structures found in Tarot, alchemy, and mythology to help structure your stories and your writing practice.)

 


Nick Jaina is a writer and musician from Portland, Oregon. His memoir Get It While You Can was a finalist for the 2016 Oregon Book Award. Olivia Pepper is a healer and mystic from Austin, Texas.


COST:  $50 for one class or $100 for both classes

BRING: pen and paper or laptop (hot tea and coffee provided)


 

All workshops are open to the public.

All Skill Levels Welcome.

This workshop is for students age 14 and up. 10 students max.

Bullets & Belles
Nov 11 @ 8:00 pm

Bullets & Belles is Neo Doo Wop Folk. Think Amy Winehouse and Dion & The Belmonts, but also Simon & Garfunkel and Taj Mahal. Their performance effortlessly glides from hard hitting blues, to soulful doo-wop, to traces of country folk. Their sublime three-part vocal harmonies and deeply-felt poetic lyrics, paired with solid rhythms and well thought out vocal arrangements seamlessly bend through the rules of genre while always leaving the audience wanting (and often whistling…)

 

This event is free and open to the public.
