Join instructor Rick Osann for a four-week introduction to watercolor with a focus on landscapes. Watercolor is a fun and freeing form of painting that allows paint, paper, water and artist to play together to create luminous works of landscape art. This course is open to everyone and is perfect for beginners or those who are new to the medium. This studio-based course class will explore tools, materials and basic skills with the intent of finding each participant’s vision of the landscape. Over the course of four-weeks, participants will cover visual art basics such as the elements and principles of design, color, light and shadow, basic drawing and perspective, and how to use them to improve our designs. Drawing experience is not needed.  Participants will paint in every class, and will tackle more complex challenges each week and will end the course with at least one completed landscape painting.

Ecstatic Yoga is a playful fusion between yoga and ecstatic dance that rides a wave of energy to a curated playlist.  The practice starts slow: breath, visualization, dropping in, and getting connected to your body. We gradually move into a yoga flow that builds in energy until it's time to let you LOOSE for the intuitive/free form dance portion of practice.  Let the music and your body guide you - your mind will CLEAR and your body will be FREE.  After the energetic peak, we gradually slow our movements, get closer to the ground, and flow into a nourishing restorative/yin yoga practice and closing integration meditation.  Expect to release tension in your body and ignite your spirit.  This practice is for everyone; no experience necessary.  The guided movements will be gentle and the intuitive movement is for you to tap in with the body you have, no need to force anything!
