Introduction to Pachamama

Julie Norris — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 06:20:59 +0000

We are blessed to bring you a message from deep in the Amazon this week. Good friend and customer Janice Steiber Rous recently returned from the Amazon tasked with Awakening the Dreamers in Florida. She’s starting this week at Dandelion by introducing us to the Pachamama Alliance at Green Drinks, Thursday, February 18th at 7pm. As with all important messages, the universe has seen fit to also serendipitously introduce us to Peruvian Shaman, Healer & Musician Inti Cesar Malesquez who will also be joining us for discussion and a bit of music. Donations for the people of Peru will be graciously accepted.

Tune into Front Porch Radio Wed, Feb 17th at Noon to listen in on a discussion about Pachamama.

You Have To Love A Place

Also, in March we have two events planned that build on the topics discussed – the first is an Art Opening for Marabou Thomas. He’s the first solo artist to be given the privileged of hanging in all three rooms of the cafe, and much of his artwork is rooted in a deep understanding of, well, let’s just say Marabou is already WIDE awake. You are going to LOVE love LOVE his art.

Also coming up during our 4th B-Day Bash on the Spring Equinox (March 20th, more on that soon) we will be visited by the Modern Day Slavery Mobile Museum. It’s all connected, just like you and me.

Art Opening with Live Music by Hymn for Her

Julie Norris — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 04:36:12 +0000

Yeah, so sometimes it’s so cool to have this place called Dandelion in our lives. Traveling gypsies Hymn for Her (watch video of their life on the road) are back in town to amuse us with their magic bag full of songs this Thursday, January 7th at 8pm. You can catch them live on Front Porch Radio on Wed, Jan 6th at noon or at the Audubon Park Market that same night.

They’ll serenade us while you check out this month’s awesome art show, with community documentarian Thomas Thorspecken’s scenes from local happenings & hotspots sketched in pen & ink and watercolor This show will be an Analog Artist/Digital World Retrospective; it has been a year since Thor, as we lovingly call him, started his blog. This will be the first time all of his sketches will appear together, in public.

Amelia Coffaro’s photography and Rebecca Downin’s portraits of music legends on vinyl records are also worth a serious eyeballing.
