SUMMARY:Art Show: Pandemic Art & Tea Stain Post-Its
DESCRIPTION:With Elyse Fineman:\nPandemic Art was born as a creative outlet during my time at home beginning in the spring of 2020. I use a jumble of mixed media (acrylic\, paper\, gems\, costume jewelry) and whatever idea inspires me that day. So far\, there are 85 one-of-a-kind pieces and counting. I am happy to work with you to create something unique for your home or office. I appreciate the opportunity to share my art with you!\n \n  \n\n\n\n\nAnd Berry Gustafson:\nI have been making marks on paper since I was very little. My parents and grandparents supported my natural inclinations by supplying the raw materials and enrolling me in art classes from the very start. I studied art in college and became a graphic designer for\nmany years.  \nMy current art passion is part of a nearly daily ritual that started back in 2004. I brew tea and afterward place my tea bag on a fresh post-it note. Once the resultant stain drys\, I observe it from all angles and begin to create a drawing with a black sharpie marker. This process is fluid and unconscious. Kind of like adding to an ink blot test. The drawing usually is a servant of the stain and nearly always is a bit of a surprise. I enjoy the immediacy and spontaneous aspect of this way of making art and have shared the results with friends and family for many years now. This show is the first time I have shown framed versions of what I call my tea stain Post-Its in public.

SUMMARY:Sunday Sangha
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Sangha led by Meditation Program Director\, Nancy Floy\n10:00am – 12:00pm (via Zoom until early May 2026) \nNancy will lead us in a few simple Buddhist chants and a guided meditation. Following meditation\, we will return to our new text\, Interbeing: Fourteen Guidelines for Engaged Buddhism by Thich Nhat Hanh. “Socially-engaged Buddhism” has become something of a buzzword in among many sanghas\, but what exactly does it mean? More importantly\, how do we practice it? Thich Nhat Hanh\, a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk\, created these practices to help people develop the insight of the interconnected nature of reality and the human experience\, which could then lead to a collective awakening. \nContact Larry Akey\, (Lakey0752@gmail.com) for key code to enter building or further information.

SUMMARY:The Wakeful Body
DESCRIPTION:Somatic Awareness as a Path to Liberation \nAre you ready to get out of your head?  Tap into the innate wisdom of your body with simple\, down-to-earth practices.   \nBased on The Wakeful Body by Lama Willa Blythe Baker\, you will learn a way to meditate that is self-aware\, self-compassionate and fully embodied.  Meditation as a way of being.  Meditation that is always available to you — on the cushion\, on the yoga mat or on the street.   \nWe had the good fortune to learn these meditations directly from Lama Willa and we’re looking forward to sharing them with you.  Whether you are new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner\, we are sure you will find this meditative approach something you will return to again and again. \nUnless otherwise indicated\, all meditation classes at Heartwood are free and open to the public.  Of course\, your donations are gratefully accepted. \nFor more information\, contact Larry.
