SUMMARY:Nurture with Nature – Rooted Rhythms: Seasonal Cycles & Botanical Clay Art
DESCRIPTION:Connect with the changing seasons in our “Nurture with Nature” series with a hands-on workshop that celebrates the earth’s quiet wisdom. \nAs autumn descends and plants begin their gentle journey inward\, we’ll explore the fascinating activity happening beneath the earth’s surface. Discover how plants meticulously prepare for the winter season and gain a deeper understanding of how to align ourselves with nature’s inherent cycles and rhythms. We’ll discuss the crucial role of healthy soil and focus on three magnificent native plants that are at their most vibrant as summer concludes\, beautifully marking the end of the growing cycle. \nInspired by these insights\, you’ll design your own unique clay trinket bowl. Using easy-to-work-with air clay\, you’ll embed and adorn your creation with a variety of beautiful found\, dried\, or pressed natural materials. This creative process allows you to fashion a personal keepsake that reflects the season’s beauty and the profound connection between us and the natural world. \nWorkshops are led by Kate Irvine\, a licensed Therapeutic Horticulture Practitioner and mixed media artist. Participants are welcome to attend one\, some\, or all four 2025 sessions. \nThe August session will take place in Nature’s Sanctuary\, one of two green burial habitats at Laurel Hill West. \nWorking with the healing power of plants can help to decrease stress and anxiety\, process grief\, and improve overall well-being. Combining eco-mindfulness and creative activities\, the workshops in this series invite participants to learn about the uses and roles of specific native plants through the lens of natural cycles.

SUMMARY:Free art show-Absurd Spectaculars
DESCRIPTION:The artists in this wide embrace seek to manifest a one-of-a-kind fantastical world\, percolating in metaphors by means of commingling artistic disciplines and subjects. These detractors of traditional norms and expectations wrote their own rules in an unapologetic way amidst a culture enamored with aesthetics. Because the roots of such visionaries is often steeped in the underground culture there is always a core of rebellion and being provocative shining thorough. The obscure messages are oft based on dreams and the unconscious\, on renegade concepts and provocative symbolism. At times imagery can be poking fun at the conventional matters of any kind\, using humor and sarcasm as its strongest device. Compositions are filled with abstract imagery and dreamy cartoon characters painted and drawn with impressive technical ability that candidly blurs the line between low and high art. We hope you will come join us in this journey of intrigue.\nStop in the gallery 5 days a week to view and add to your collection. All works are also available for sale online through our site www.blackmothgallery.com. You will not want to miss out on experiencing these one of a kind works in person. \nArtists Featured Work:\nWes Benscoter\nMichael Camarra\nWilly Cutlip\nCzr-Prz\nHengone\nGreg Hergert\nBriana Hertzog\nHanna Jaeun\nJoKa\nJesso Lange\nGrelin Machin\nNoseGo\nBruce Parker\nJohn Rego\nDebbie Rich\nPaul Vavarone\nAlyssa Young

Vibrational healing is the ancient art of healing with sound; it traces back to ancient Egypt & Tibet. Sound vibrations can heal the physical body at a cellular level by adjusting blockages and imbalances. These imbalances can cause the body to have a slower frequency vibration which may lead to dis-ease or illnesses. Natural healing sound frequencies can be transferred or introduced externally or directly into the body to create a more harmonious state. \nAt Black Lotus\, we combine the use of crystal chakra singing bowls\, gongs\, tuning forks\, and more to give a relaxing & transformative experience. We can balance chakras\, repair auras\, uplift the mood or help with grounding. Vibrational healing is a great tool for meditation\, alleviating stress\, and relaxing stiff or sore muscles. \nFor more visit: www.diasporaeducationalservices.org/black-lotus \nhttps://linktr.ee/blacklotushhc \n\n\n\nDIRECTIONS: \n \nBlack Lotus is not on Lincoln Drive despite the address…it is actually on Rittenhousetown Lane.

Because the roots of such visionaries is often steeped in the underground culture there is always a core of rebellion and being provocative shining thorough. The obscure messages are oft based on dreams and the unconscious\, on renegade concepts and provocative symbolism. At times imagery can be poking fun at the conventional matters of any kind\, using humor and sarcasm as its strongest device. Compositions are filled with abstract imagery and dreamy cartoon characters painted and drawn with impressive technical ability that candidly blurs the line between low and high art.
