Creative Spirit Retreat

by

@

10:30am-4:00pm

In honor of the New Year, Howard Finster’s Paradise Garden Foundation invites all to register for a Creative Spirit Retreat for New Beginnings on Saturday, January 21, 2023, an event celebrating slowing down through meditation, yoga, and art-making!

Cyndi Allen, Chattanooga-based yoga instructor, will kick off the Retreat in the Paradise Garden Art & Learning Center by leading registrants through a guided meditation about letting go of the past year and saying goodbye to things holding you back and no longer serving you. She will then guide registrants through a yoga flow sequence and close out the hour-long session with a guided meditation centered on new beginnings for the year ahead.

With new beginnings in mind, participants will then join Kimberly Dawn Crowder, a Chattanooga-based self-taught artist, in the Art & Learning Center, to create vision boards illustrating goals, affirmations, and hopes for the year ahead. Registrants will paint a portrait of themselves on a canvas board and then explore newspaper and magazine clippings for words, phrases, and images to assemble in a cloud around their portraits. Canvas boards, paint, glue, and clippings are included with registration, though participants are welcome to bring their own materials to add to their vision boards.

After the vision board workshop, registrants are welcome to break for a light lunch in the Art & Learning Center. Afterward, Retreat goers can choose to return to work on their vision boards or peacefully tour the 4-acres of Rev. Howard Finster’s visionary art environment.

Often in country music, artists leave their small hometowns with big stories to tell -- in singer-songwriter Tyler Booth's case, those stories are his very own. From supporting some of the genre's top stars including Joe Diffie, Brooks and Dunn, Dwight Yoakam, and Josh Abbott to building a grass-roots fan base across the nation, the 25-year-old singer has already lived a life worth writing songs about. Now Booth is touring behind the arrival of his Grab The Reins EP.
