Fall/Winter 2018 Workshop Series
Winter Solstice SoulCollage®: Letting the Light Back In with Josephine Banks
During this time of Winter Solstice as the amount of light we receive lengthens, we gather with the Lightbearer in mind. What is the Lightbearer to you? Who or what brings the light for you? Although not always seen, the light is always there. Let’s explore the ever present light using SoulCollage®.
SoulCollage® is an intuitive collage process for self-discovery and community developed by Seena B Frost. Tapping into the transformative power of imagination and intuition you will create personal collaged cards from images. The goal is to discover the unique inner and outer guides and challengers of your individual Souls, while in an environment that supports creativity and is safe for each person to explore and express his or her own unique soul in its lightness and shadow.
Josephine Banks, aka, Miss Begotten is a self-taught artist, writer, gardener, Domestic Goddess and SoulCollage® Facilitator living in Vancouver, WA. The beautiful Pacific Northwest and frequenting the Long Beach Peninsula as often as possible keeps her spirit alive, fresh and growing on a daily basis. Miss Begotten is currently sharing her art at The Bay Avenue Gallery in Ocean Park, WA. Using SoulCollage® I have found that pulling up bits and pieces of myself that have been locked away is a beautiful process. I find it enriching and healing to my life and that of others.
COST: $50
BRING: All supplies provided in addition to lunch; I will be sharing a pot of soup and some lovely bread. Please feel free to bring any snack you may need for the duration. Coffee, tea and water provided.
This workshop is for students age 16 years old and up. 12 students max.

Bitches of the Sun is an Oregon based trio founded in winter of 2017 by Willamette Week award winning vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Joshua Davis. After the session saxophonist made his way to the Pacific Northwest from Chicago, Illinois he decided to push his musical boundary and play his hand at being a front-man. In efforts to find a refreshing new sound that embodied traditional rock elements he was introduce to bassist Nick Wright and drummer Seth Shaler. Together this powerhouse has an extensive resume of individual features and group performances with the likes of Wyclef Jean, Mac Miller, Chance the Rapper and Buddy Guy. Described by its loyal fan base as “Portland’s rock band” the trio uses it’s diverse musical background to deliver a large selection of body shaking grooves wrapped in emotionally complex arrangements guaranteed to get everyone on the dance floor.
Every performance gifts the audience with unforgettable moments that can only be envied by those who missed out. And with the release of their 2018 self-titled Bitches of the Sun EP they are proving to be a force of limitless growth and longevity.

Fox and Bones are the modern day Bonnie and Clyde, if Bonnie and Clyde had driven a Volvo and played folk pop music. Based in Portland, OR, these internationally touring sweethearts aren’t your average duo. Rather than simply documenting their experiences in song, Sarah Vitort and Scott Gilmore write from the perspective of quasi-fictional characters, Fox and Bones. The two fall for each other, decide to hit the road, and never look back. The pair uses music as the canvas on which they paint a new life together that defies traditional relationship roles and life goals. Their music is modern with retro stylings; it is ripe with vocal harmonies that pull at the heartstrings, and a complex, at times metaphysical, lyrical landscape. Each element serves their stories of a life lived on the road in pursuit of a dream that most never have the courage to chase.
