Because of the popularity of her hair adornments with fellow dancers and friends, she is delighted to share her unique tribal belly dance inspired pieces with you. Some of Peggy Hewitt's hair adornments can be viewed on her facebook page. Endymienne "Endi" Clark's drive to learn and excel created a need to share this passionate joy and unique expression with the community at large: as well as teaching body | awareness | movement bellydance classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, she co–produces Bellydance Uncorked and dances with tribal nouveau dance troupe Apsara. She also has a fondness for shiny things and bright colors, and thus began creating flower & feather hair accessories with her bloomer–making business partner and fellow dancer Jasmine under the name, "CIRQUE."

Together their passion for re-creation will bring extra delights from both the plant and fabric realms for you to discover. Lyla Lisac first took an interest in fused glass in the mid 1970's after finding some sand-worn clumps of melted glass while walking on a beach in Alaska. The unexpected sea treasures seemed to have distinct "personality" that was created out of the random heat of a refuse fire. Lyla now creates her own unique jewelry pieces made from specialty glass that is individually hand-cut, arranged into patterns and fired in a kiln at temperatures between 1600-1800 degrees. No two ever turn out exactly alike. The specialty glass comes in a wide variety of colors, patterns and finishes. It is all formulated to have the same set melting point. The glass that has a metallic finish frequently changes color after firing which has resulted in many a delighful surprise and a few "hot messes". Karli DuBois, Jewelry Design: My creativity really took off when I took a silver fusing class and I learned to "play with fire"! I lovingly fuse, handform and hammer silver into durable, eye catching gifts to adorn yourself or friends. Making my own chain and components is really enjoyable and I passionately indulge my addiction to wire-wrapping by embellishing my pieces with all kinds of earthy gemstomes and sparkly Swarovski Crystals beads. I repurpose any old jewelry I can lay my hands on by taking it apart and breathing new life into the parts. My style is a unique blend of equal parts yesterday & today; whose purpose is to capture wearable beauty to last for many tomorrows. I live in Seattle with my husband, two children and a chihuahua. Glori Jarvi of G. Glitz loves color, especially when working with creating jewelry and art. Something old, something new, a dash of this and a dazzle of that allow the marriage of vintage and new to birth exciting new pieces to enhance your life with beauty.

I do not understand the mystery of grace –
only that it meets us where we are, but does not leave us where it found us." When we are deeply intrigued by the movement moment, each personal gesture becomes a kinetic prayer. When we open to our authentic expression, our dance is effortless and timeless. When we unite conscious intention with our spontaneous heart, the everyday dance is transformed into ecstatic awareness. Come! -- Explore movement as a portal into the body, touch as a pathway to essential connection, and community as a mirror of support. Through the expressive arts of dancing, writing, sounding and witnessing, we will embrace all that we are -- and all that we are becoming. Join catalyst Paula Byrne for a weekend of moving meditations designed to seek the sweet spot where the wildness of Soul and the grace of Spirit unite. All are welcome. Paula leads movement workshops nationwide and is Owner and Director of SomaSpace in Portland where she maintains a teaching practice.
