FEBRUARY 22, 2018 // 7 WEAVES OF CLASS SEAVIEW, WASH. — Ex- plore creative meditation through the use of flower essences and the ancient craft of weaving with the class “Busy Hands Quiet Minds: Weaving as Med- itation,” 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 25, at the Sou’wester Lodge (3728 J Place, Seaview, Washing- ton). An optional meet- and-greet will be held 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 24, followed by an optional bedtime meditation. Weaving is a methodical and slow practice. As our hands get involved with each stitch, our minds are free to rest from our con- scious stream of thought. It is in this state of quiet that we are best able to hear our creative voice and let it shine. Instructors Natalie No- vak and Samantha LaM- ont will be your guides as you use these simple, traditional tools to enter a meditative state. Join this class and learn not only how to weave, but also how weaving can be a tool used daily for self-care and meditation. Students will leave with the flower essences we use in class, plus a complete weaving kit that includes a frame loom, essential weaving tools, illustrated instructions, yarn and a special tote to carry it all home in. Novak, a Portland artist, works primarily in tapes- try, drawing from ancient and contemporary weaving techniques to explore color relationships and modern mysticism. LaMont — a weaver, painter and teacher living in Portland — creates ritual art and cultivates a practice of being through guided meditation and flower exploration.

SEAVIEW, WASH. — Time is running out to see the Sou’wester Staff Art Show in a vintage travel trailer turned into a permanent gallery. The show runs through Sunday, Feb. 25.
