Bonus First Friday! Our April First Friday show, “Flowering Presence” features bright and beautiful blooms by Cynthia West, music by Ken Brown and the Crooked Road and great eats from Trax and Friar Tuck’s Hoagie House. This is our last FF till next season so don’t miss it!
A bit about the artist:
Cynthia’s intent is to transform the gallery into a garden of stillness, form, and color where those visiting can explore their connection with nature and flowers, find stillness and grace though color and form, and find beauty and wonder in the aliveness and silent presence of the flower.
Growing up in interior Alaska, Cynthia has developed a deep connection to nature. This connection is reflected in all she creates. Her creative process is a form of meditation. It allows her to listen, connect and respond with using color, form and light. Her work is fused with this energy. She uses oil paints on canvas to paint large flowers. She chooses the flower images because of their association with spiritual realization and the ease in which they convey joy and peace.
Over the past year she has been creating mandalas from wood. These circular shaped objects are also inspired by nature and often include petal forms and found objects. For her show she will be including both large flower paintings on canvas and mandalas to create unique “Flowering Presence”.
Here in a flowering presence, pause, observe, and nurture the space inside you longing to bloom.

Mindfulness…it’s become one of those new trendy words used in everyday conversations, from elementary school classrooms to executive board rooms. But what is mindfulness, really? And meditation…who has time to just sit with their eyes closed and hum?
This four part workshop will introduce and integrate the practices of mindfulness, pranayama, asana, and meditation to connect to the wholeness of self through mind and body. Each 90-minute workshop will open with 15 minutes of breath work and intention setting, followed by a 60 minute vinyasa practice, and will close with 15 minutes of meditation.
Descriptions of each class contained within this workshop:
March 24: Root to Rise
This workshop will introduce the practices of mindfulness and meditation and how to incorporate these practices into our daily (and very busy) lives. The vinyasa practice will offer basic yoga poses, allowing the yogi to awaken their awareness, learn how to link breath to movement, and discover strength and support by letting go of judgement, comparison, and expectation.
March 31: Open Your Heart to You
Everything in life is either an act of love or a call for love. This workshop will encourage yogis to explore opening of the heart space, on and off the mat. The workshop will open with a journaling exercise and pranayama, and close with a guided meditation. The vinyasa practice will focus on opening the heart center to increase awareness and manifestation of love.
April 7: Let’s Change the Conversation
Monkey mind. Ego. Inner Child. Whatever you call that voice in your head, this workshop will explore how to take notice of the mind chatter without getting sucked into it. Through pranayama, asana, and meditation, the yogi will learn how to meet that messenger with compassion and gratitude.
April 14: Peace Out, Yogis
The “savasana” of the series, this fourth workshop will focus on how to cultivate a more peaceful life, presence, and energy by putting these practices into practice, every day. The movement part of the class will be a slower asana practice; a deeply relaxing sequence with long holds and a long savasana. The final meditation practice in this series will be self-guided, stress-reducing practice of simply breathing consciously.
