The Yoga / Meditation Retreat is over but the energy and spirit generated continues in what we do. Hoping that the beauty and compassion we felt for our selves and our natural environment spread throughout everything we do. The Gallery continues to be a place a light - winter and summer!
Women’s Silent Winter Retreat January 17 - 18, 2020.
Slow to the world and come home to yourself in this deep winter silent retreat.
In a community of women by the shores of Lake Champlain you will be heart-fully
guided in practices of joyful chanting, mindful yoga, and sitting and walking
meditation inside and out in the winter landscape. Friday evening we will share a
potluck dinner and then we will be provided simple and delicious meals to nourish
our journey. In silence we listen to ourselves and 'wake up' to a fresh connection
with ourselves, each other, and the natural world. Come celebrate winter and
yourself!
where do you draw the line? This show is about exploring the effect that borders have on habitat: human, environmental, and spiritual. Our existence has always depended on moving, migrating, and adapting as conditions change. So what are the implications of drawing lines across space?
In Barbara Waters’ work, we see her create from the experience of encountering a wall cutting through our protected lands. And in Tuyen My Nguyen’s installation, we have string as line building a boundary through which we cannot pass.
John Douglas w/ Diane Gayer at “Of Earth: Image and Clay” — the show’s not over… which means we have a long way to go still on this planet Earth, despite the “Auto-Warming” CGI Prints. But how we proceed is the question? Both Ojihozo and Rock Formations can remind us that there is more. And as Sarah Rosedahl says in her art poster: “Make America Kind Again”… So let the Beauty of the Universe shine thru!
Joan Watson’s Clay Workshop was great fun. 10 attendees was about all the workshop space at the Gallery can accommodate, and we filled it.. Everyone learned (or relearned) about clay, working it, and forming it. Joan’s the best! letting pieces dry, get ready for burnishing or firing happened out side in the sun and wind. The class firing was cancelled due to massive storm threats, but a sub-group tried it on their own. Most of the pieces turned into archeological bits… Ah maybe better luck next year!
New signpost by custom metal fabricator John Marius. Great to have a permanent sign with some street presence after 3 years of getting many other things done around the Gallery. John has been the artist behind other projects at GreenTARA as well - the handrail inside, the outdoor bench legs, and the canopy brackets. Keep your eyes open - there’s more to come.
