For those new to crystal healing, the sphere is often the best shape to utilize simply because the orb allows the energy to flow evenly and equally in every direction at once. Rounded beads worn in a necklace or bracelet would distribute these energies in such a way that the benefits would be felt in a gentle and comforting way.

A single crystal point is a popular choice because of its versatility and pinpoint accuracy in projecting a stream of energy. When utilizing a single point for healing work, placing the point outwards from the body will draw energy away, while facing the point towards the body will bring energy into the area.

Many of those in the crystal healing community also will have a doubly terminated point crystal on hand (also known as a DT), which has a point on both ends of the crystal. These can be natural, or polished and shaped—as the energy flow will remain the same. A doubly terminated crystal channels energy in both directions at the same time. One use would be to clear a blockage within the body so the energies could flow freely. DT’s can also create a bridge of energy between two areas.

Changing Woman: Flourishing through

PerimenopauseSaturday, November 1

11am-3pm

“I’m interested, but I’m not quite there yet.” Is this your response? I encourage you to consider the truth that for most women, perimenopause is a journey lasting many years, bringing with it subtle or not-so-subtle changes in emotional stability, sexual interest, sleep patterns, flexibility, hair, skin, muscle tone, urinary continence, as well as the infamous hot flashes, heavy bleeding, altered cycle length, cramping, and so on. There are often multiple waves of signals announcing that the change is underway; each woman is unique and yet we are all going through this together. There is no time like the present to learn more about what your bodymind is undergoing and how to support your particular process with tonifying plants.

Spend an afternoon with other women learning to navigate hormonal changes (and herbal and medical advice!) without losing your mind, your job or your relationship! The Change can offer a deep opportunity to reorient your health and your emotional experience so that the next phase of life is not a “withering” but an ever more beautiful expression of your whole self. Herbs, foods, essential oils, flower essences, and other approaches can be of great assistance in dealing with this powerful transition.

Please join us and bring a friend. You will walk away with a holistic picture of what is happening as well as many specifics to help guide you on. There will be an assortment of tasty supportive foods and teas for you to sample. Taught by Carol Trasatto, herbalist and changing woman. Class size is limited, so please register early.

Full Circle MandalasHeather Taylor

At the end of an age, moving into another, we must collectively synthesize that which is work reforming, the universal essence to be born anew. This series of mandalas is the first of a trinity in this effort of synthesis, an act of remembering. It is eclectic by its nature, spanning eons of human culture and evolution. As mandalas, which focus on the different geometric forms and their corresponding symbolism, these images are symbolic. They use various numbers and shapes, unique forms and patterns from different places—different people, within the context of the whole.

As a mandala aligns the microcosm with the macrocosm, the particular to the universal, so the creator is only the tool of creation, the invisible hand.

Heather Taylor is an Evergreen alumni and mother of 3 beautiful boys. She lives in Olympia, Washington surrounded by nature.

Look for Heather’s works on sale at Radiance. Items range from cards to framed prints.

MosaicsJennifer Irizarry-Urosevic

“My Girls” is a series of mannequin busts that Jennifer transforms into mosaic goddesses. Each has a different name, each has a different theme. Her first bust was done along with a mosaic project she was doing with her students in 2002. She began with a box of broken white plates and a female bust from a yard sale. As the project when on (to her surprise), a goddess began to emerge. Each bust takes several weeks or months to complete and much of the material comes from thrift store plates and cups. “My Girls” and Jennifer’s mosaics come from her heart and soul and are absolutely a labor of love.

Jennifer was born in New York and raised with her brother and two artistic parents. She has been an artist all her life, dabbling in various mediums. She currently resides in Mossyrock, Washington with her husband, three cats and two dogs.
