Maute is an improvisational painter. Floating luminous plant, animal, and figurative compositions convey memories, the passage of time, and life’s interconnectedness. For Snyder’s sculptures, peeled branches and metal are the structure. Delicate translucent papers and other fibers woven into the pieces emphasize the harmony, strength, and fragility of the natural world.

2019-09-10 19:00 - 21:00 | Ayurvedic Health Center, 203 West Holly Street Suite 201 & 204, Bellingham, WA, 98225, United States
Mantra is a ritualized form of singing where a particular intention is held and a particular state is invoked. Mantras have been used for thousands of years by many cultures across human history. The Vedic sciences are one of the most ardent and consistent users of mantra. Mantra is done for a purpose and is sacred. Mantras should never be done casually or irreverently, and students benefit most by having a teacher initiate them into the use of mantra.
Join us in chanting Vedic sanskrit mantras for the sheer joy of it—as well as the transformation that they bring.
Instruction will be provided.
Beginners are encouraged.
Drop-ins are welcome.

Aura Photos by Charles Crooks
2019-09-14 11:00 - 17:00 | Bellingham Farmers Market, 1100 Railroad Ave., Bellingham, WA, 98225
What do you radiate?
Find out all about the energy that surrounds your body by getting your aura photographed with intuitive energy coach, Charles Crooks.
Why should you even care about your aura?
Every day, with every activity we do, and every person we come in contact with, our energy changes. Our body emits our own energetic field, or aura, that constantly surrounds us. Being aware of your aura gives you a sense of the energy you’re sending out at that moment. By paying attention to your energy, you can use this information to help navigate your decisions.
How does it work?
By placing your hand on a sensor that reads your electromagnetic field, the vibrations it picks up are translated into colors around the body. Depending which color shows in which position, the image then can be interpreted to give you insight into your energetic self in that moment.
The details!
Saturday, September 14 11:00-5:00pm at Wise Awakening, downtown Bellingham. 314 E Holly St. #101 $35 for a 10 minute session.
You get:
A 4×6 printed photo, an interpretation of your energy by Charles, a personalized affirmation based on your photo, and a 14 page generated PDF report email to you. The report gives you even deeper information into your energy, and information about your personality color.
As the venue is downtown on a Saturday (same as Farmer’s Market) please give ample time for parking.
