Studiomate News:

The studio at 13 E Tulane continues to grow and evolve! We've been joined by two more artists on the Open Heart Art side (15 E Tulane) and we're currently figuring out how to integrate our practice throughout our building. 

Ryan Agnew's Worm Man gets some recognition! Documentation of Worm Man will be on view in Vermiculture Makers Club at Kentucky School of Art in Louisville March 6 - April 17. Worm Man was also recently featured on the WormCulture website/blog, http://wormculture.orgwhich sets out to highlight the community of worm art makers and hopefully increase the production of culture around worms.

Check out Angie Hay's new project: YOGA ENLARGED:ENCOURAGEMENT. EMPOWERMENT. EMBODIMENT. Yoga Enlarged is a unique class created for big bodies by big bodies.  We believe that the practice of yoga should be accessible to people of all shapes, sizes, and abilities, and we strive to offer a welcoming environment for full-figured yogis to come to the mat.  You will be met with a balance of permission and challenge to help you experience your true capacity for strength, flexibility, serenity, and self-love.  We invite you to join us in class for a revolutionary practice within a supportive community.  http://yogaenlarged.com

Trance Studies: Becoming Fish (II)

Rescheduled for this Sunday the 8th! 

We take an experimental approach to trance studies - not a dogmatic one - so all are welcome take what they find valuable for themselves. The Cuyamungue, or "Oma," trance is a shamanic practice used to cultivate visions and a dream-like awareness. It is a syncretic technique developed by anthropologist and spiritual teacher, Felicitas D. Goodman, and continued by her daughter, Susan Josephson (among others). Goodman believed that she had discovered an ancient and universal way to allow entrance into an alternate reality and commune with the beings who dwell there. Guided by postures adapted from a variety of sources and driven by a rattle sounded at a particular tempo and rhythm, participants often have visions with personal significance.

For this session, we will pair two postures. The first will be the "singing shaman" for door opening. The second will be the the "fish trance," derived from representations of Aztec goddess Chalchihuitlique and evoking water, renewal, adapting to change.

*Instructions for participation: Please arrive on time, the door will be closed at 7:45 so that the session can begin without interruption. Fasting will enhance the experience, but is not required. For best results, do not eat at least 30 minutes prior to the session. Avoid alcohol throughout the day. Wear loose-fitting clothing and avoid wearing metal.

*Young adults / teens welcome.

*Susan is not expecting payment so this session is by donation. Feel free to support her visit and the maintenance of the studio space with a small contribution.
