Roy L Hales/Cortes currents - What does it mean to be a neighbour on Cortes Island? This question is at the heart of the new Cortes Island Museum exhibition 'Won't You Be My Neighbour?' curated by Melanie Boyle, Managing Director of the museum and Monica Hoffman. Opening Sunday May 4th the exhibit invites visitors on a visual and narrative journey through both the historical and contemporary communities that shaped life on the island. “The  idea of focusing on neighbourhoods came from the prior exhibition, ‘From the Ground Up,” explained Hoffman. Boyle added, “We did touch on how people work together to build structures, in terms of collaboration.  It was also about repurposing material and sharing of resources and, in a way, this is also what this new exhibition is about. Collective land arrangements are a way for people to live affordably on Cortes, to share  the land, but also to share the material, resources and work collaboratively. So there's a lot of overlap.”  Monica Hoffman: “This is about those very focused areas on the island, such as Tiber Bay, Blue Jay Lake, or Siskin Lane - that sort of community, and what it means to be a neighbour is all about.”  Cortes Currents: It is also about the definition of ‘community,' in all its manifestations from the pioneer era to modern times, from ‘communal groupings' to individual dwellings. Monica Hoffman: “A focal point for this exhibition is this north facing wall where we have a map of Cortes Island. We focus on various communities and give a little bit of commentary and interviews  with  the shareholders and the landholders. Some of these we did look at briefly in the prior exhibition, but this allows there to be a bit more space and more opportunity to explore them more.”  Melanie Boyle: “Monica's right, this wall is a little microcosm of the community itself. It's a reference to all the voices that make this exhibition happen. This exhibition stemmed  from an interview we did during the last exhibition with Amy Robertson, who is one of the co-founders of Treedom. Jill Milton and Bernice McGowan interviewed Paul Kirmmse, who is one of the co-founders of Redlands.  We spoke with Ron Bazaar. Jim Murphy came into the museum and spoke about Tiber Bay.  We also interviewed Ron Wolda, more to do with the mill itself. I know Ron from selling the spoons  as a craftsperson and I didn't know his ties to Vancouver, the business community and now Tiber Bay.”  Monica Hoffman: “I didn't know where that Tiber Bay connection started.”   Melanie Boyle: “It was serendipity and people looking at that particular time for options to live on Cortes or just live on the coast.  Land comes available  and  they organize a bunch of people to get together to purchase the land. Everwoods came out of discussions that were happening at Hollyhock at the time.” “We respect the fact that these are the co-ops and collaborative living arrangements on Cortes, of people who are willing to actually share their story.  We only can profile a small handful. There are people who choose to remain private and we respect that, of course, but these would be ones that are publicly known.” 

There comes a moment in life when we look around and realize that the unseen is just as present as the tangible. That what we cannot touch, we can still feel. On today's episode, we welcome Julie Kramer, a seasoned shamanic practitioner who has spent decades walking between worlds, bridging the gap between the seen and the unseen, helping lost spirits find their way home, and guiding the living toward healing. Her journey into shamanism wasn't inherited or predetermined—it was a calling that arose from the depths of her soul.From a young age, she knew that reality stretched beyond what the eyes perceive. But it wasn't until she attended a retreat at Hollyhock in British Columbia that her true path revealed itself. There, she encountered the spirit world in a way that felt both entirely foreign and strangely familiar. As she describes it, “It just felt so natural. It felt so at once ordinary and extraordinary. It felt like I was coming home.” And isn't that the nature of truth? It startles us into recognition, yet it feels like something we've always known.Julie Kramer explains shamanism as the ancient art of recognizing the world as alive with spirit. To her, the practice is not about belief—it's about direct experience.Through rhythmic drumming, rattling, and song, she shifts into an altered state, one where the spirit world is no longer veiled. She describes this process as tuning a radio to a different frequency, where voices, visions, and insights pour in—not as abstract notions, but as vivid, undeniable realities.The spirit world, she tells us, is not a distant place. It is here, intertwined with our own, overlapping like two sheets of glass. And while many who pass on make their way to where they are meant to go, some remain behind—stuck, lost, or simply unaware that they are no longer among the living. “They don't know they're dead,” she says. “They literally don't know that they're dead, and they can become attached to us.” These attachments, she explains, can manifest as emotional struggles, persistent fears, even physical ailments. The work of the shaman is to guide these souls home, to release what lingers so that the living and the dead alike can find peace.Yet, this work is not about superstition or mysticism—it is rooted in evidence. “Shamans were the first medical doctors. They were the first therapists. They were the first priests and priestesses. They were the first mediators,” Julie Kramer reminds us. Long before modern medicine, there was the deep wisdom of those who listened to the land, to the spirits, to the rhythms of life itself. And in many ways, we are now returning to what was lost, relearning the language of the soul.As the conversation unfolds, she touches on something profound: healing is not just about the body—it is about the spirit. Many of the ailments that afflict us are not purely physical; they are rooted in spiritual imbalances, in energies we do not yet understand. When we realign with our own spiritual nature, when we listen to the guidance that is always present, healing begins not just within us, but within the world.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSThe spirit world is always present. We are never truly alone, and guidance is available to us when we learn how to listen.Healing begins with acknowledging the unseen. Many ailments, emotional and physical, have deeper roots in the spiritual realm. Addressing these imbalances can lead to profound transformation.Spiritual work is evidence-based. Shamanism is not about blind faith but direct experience—through deep connection, we can access wisdom that transcends time and space.In a world that often feels disconnected, where the tangible is valued above all else, Julie Kramer reminds us that there is more to reality than what we see. The spirit world is not a place apart—it is interwoven with our daily lives, waiting for us to acknowledge it, to engage with it, and to embrace the healing it offers. The unseen does not ask for our belief—it only asks that we pay attention.Please enjoy my conversation with Julie Kramer.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - The Cortes Island Academy's third year starts on Tuesday September 3, 2024. Executive DIrector Manda Aufochs Gillespie explained that there are a number of innovative new programs this semester as well as popular facilitators from previous years. The Mother Tree Network, Hakai Intitute, Hollyhock and Power of Hope are all contributing partners. For the first time ever, there are also still some last minute spots available for new students. Manda Aufochs Gillespie: “For those of you who do not know what the Cortes Island Academy is, it's an accredited experiential place-based high school program that happens right here on Cortes Island and is a partnership with the school district, the Cortes Island School, the Cortes Island Community Foundation and pretty much every other organization and person on Cortes, because boy, does it take a lot of heart and help to make it happen.” “This is our third year, and we've decided to change all sorts of things up in order to keep it fresh.” “We'll start on September 3rd with a meet and greet. Please, please come and be part of it. Meet the students, some of the facilitators and get behind the scenes a little earlier on.” “That Labor Day weekend you will start seeing teenagers arrive back on the island.” “We still have some spots for this year. So if you have a special young person in your life who would be a great addition to this kind of experiential project based learning, send them our way.” “This year we have lower enrollment from Cortes students because there are very few local kids going into grade 10. That's both a little bit sad and also something that we knew would come. There are just years on Cortes where there are less kids or where the kids have already had to leave in that hard effort of trying to find schooling that works for them. For the first time, we don't have foreign exchange students, but it looks like we already have two signed up for next year.” “As we have in years past, we have students coming from other communities, most especially other rural islands - so Sonora, Reed, and some from as further out afield as Pender.” “We're doing a couple of things that we're pretty excited about.” “We have partnered with the Mother Tree Network and Hollyhock Leadership Institute and are doing a leadership intensive at Hollyhock October 20th through 25th. This gathering uses the creative facilitation model, which has really been popularized through Power of Hope, and is based on exploring the interface of ecology, the arts and experiential education. We have room for 30 students in a week long intensive with Dr. Suzanne Simard, other leaders from the Mother Tree Network, the Juno nominated musician Ruby Singh, a team of other local facilitators and knowledge holders, and some of the best known facilitators from the Power of Hope camps. Kari McClelland, who's perhaps the best known and most beloved of all Power of Hope facilitators is the main facilitator for that week. They're all going to be having a camp experience at Hollyhock.” “This case leadership intensive is for the Cortes Island Academy students and other students are coming to join. There is still some spaces for this. We're prioritizing local and indigenous youth, but there are still spaces for any kids and there are some scholarships available for this workshop. “Cortes Island Academy students are also going to be joining with some other students at Hakai again for a climate intensive to, see what the current science is around all things related to climate and the ecological impacts of our changing ecosystems. They spend a week at the incredible state of our science facilities on Quadra Island.” “The themes this year are climate and art."

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - As of this morning, Heather Deeth has been the Interim Executive Director of Hollyhock for 19 days. Cortes Currents caught up with her on Sunday to talk about the changes in her life, as well as what's happening in one of the most dynamic retreat centres on the West Coast.  It is the peak summer season at Hollyhock. The programs listed on their webpage are grouped into categories like: wisdom teachings, social innovation, health & healing, creative expression, the Hollyhock Leadership Institute and signature holidays.  Cortes Currents asked, Why is Hollyhock important?  Heather Deeth: “People have transformative experiences here.  If we can give people the skills where they can have their own transformation internally themselves, and then collectively together, whether we're bringing people together and they're collectively arriving somewhere, that's really potent. If we can be seeding that more and more out in the world right now, that's exactly what we need to be doing.” Cortes Currents: Have there been changes in your life, now that you're in the Director's seat? Heather Deeth: “We're feeling Peter's  departure. I really loved working with Peter. I learned so much from him. It was a total gift to have two years of working and learning  from Peter.  I miss working with him very much and I'm thankful that he's become a dear friend  and is a deep ally of Hollyhock and will be for a long time. I feel that in his continued relationship with me as well.” “For me, the change is in being with the people. I haven't worked on site since before the start of the pandemic.  I worked remotely, many people worked remotely during the pandemic and it's my first time coming back. I've been out here a few times, but not for longer stays, always as a visitor.” “I arrived last week. It feels very different for me this time,  really connecting with our staff who are here on the island.”   Cortes Currents: Where are you living right now?  Heather Deeth: “I'm in Shivon Robinsong and Bill Weaver's house.  That's where my family's been staying.”   Cortes Currents: What's happening at Hollyhock right now?  Heather Deeth: “This is the first summer where it's felt like we were back at strong peak summer numbers, the way it used to be. It's nice to see our guests returning.”  “Today's a changeover day. We have ‘The Art Of Leadership' starting.  I have Dan Siegel coming in on Friday to offer two workshops back to back, which is very exciting.” Insights Meditation will also be this week and Cortes Island's very own Bill Ophoff will be running his naturalist program. “We had Sophie Gregoire Trudeau to start July off, which was a really incredible experience.  Many of our programs were running through the month of July.  We had our Canadian Psychedelic Summit in July as well, which was our third year of running. There were a hundred people this year and the feedback from that gathering was that it was extraordinary. We're almost through our peak season and so that's feeling really good because the last couple of summers we were still in pandemic recovery.”  Cortes Currents: Tell me about your day. When do you start in the morning? What do you do first?   Heather Deeth: “I'm an early bird, especially because  I'm from the East Coast.  Usually I'm up  around five.  I love the birds, and so usually if I am lucky in the morning, I listen to the early morning bird song. Coffee is very important. Then usually the first thing I do is I look at my calendar,  to refresh my memory about what's on and what's happening. So I can come in clear headed and ready. On a good day, I can get out for a walk in the mornings.”

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - Peter Wrinch is stepping down from his position as CEO of Hollyhock.  "My last day will be July 31st this year. That will be exactly seven years, to the day," he explained. "The reason I'm leaving is a much deeper question. I'm 49 years old.  I'm turning 50 next year.  This is my second job as an executive director or CEO.  When I finished the first one, I said, 'Well, I will never do that job again” and then a few years later, I took on this role. Coming into Hollyhock, I had very little sense of the depth and warmth and connection of this place. I also knew that I would not stay forever. I'm so happy that I got to experience the love that is Hollyhock. And, I am clear that my purpose at this stage of my life is to figure out how to support organizational leaders instead of being one myself. I've thught about this quite deeply and see this ending as a call to a deeper purpose. “Heather Deeth who's been Hollyhock's Chief Product Officer for two years and is an incredible colleague and incredible friend will take over as interim CEO for the foreseeable future. We have written a new strategic plan for our organization and are socializing it through our networks. The idea is that the board is going to hire the next full time organizational leader through the prism of the new strategic plan. I feel really confident in that view." “Hollyhock has changed a lot in the seven years that I've been leading it. I had come from working in startups - political, advocacy, technology - and to come into an organization that was 37 years old was a new experience for me. When I came in, I did not regard myself as a change agent, but more as someone who culd manifest what was wanting to come through - mostly by getting out of the way. The change that has happened in the organization over the past seven years is the result of many, many beautiful hands.” “It has occasionally been seductive to define my tenure through the lens of the pandemic. And there is no doubt that the pandemic changed all of our lives, and certainly changed my trajectory here. However, I have come to see it as an amazing time to lead the organization. It allowed us to lead from values and I am very proud of the way we led through those years."

Producer/Host: R.W. Estela Hi, I'm RW Estela: Since 1991, I've been presenting A Word in Edgewise, WERU's longest-running short feature, a veritable almanac of worldly and heavenly happenings, a confluence of 21st-century life in its myriad manifestations, international and domestic, cosmopolitan and rural, often revealing, as the French say, the more things change, the more they stay the same — though not always! Sometimes in addressing issues affecting our day-to-day lives, in this age of vagary and ambiguity, when chronological time is punctuated elliptically, things can quickly turn edgy and controversial, as we search for understanding amid our dialectic. Tune in Monday mornings at 7:30 a.m. for an exciting journey through space and time with a few notable birthdays thrown in for good measure during A Word in Edgewise . . . About the host: RW Estela was raised as a first-generation American in Colorado by a German mother and a Corsican-Basque father who would become a three-war veteran for the US Army, so RW was naturally a military brat and later engaged in various Vietnam-era civil-service adventures before paying his way through college by skiing for the University of Colorado, playing Boulder coffeehouses, and teaching. He has climbed all of Colorado's Fourteeners; found work as an FAA-certificated commercial pilot, a California-licensed building contractor, a publishing editor, a practitioner of Aikido, and a college professor of English; among his many interdisciplinary pursuits are the design and building of Terrell Residence Library (recently renamed the Terrell House Permaculture Living & Learning Center at the University of Maine), writing Building It In Two Languages (a bilingual dictionary of construction terminology), aerial photo documentation of two dam removals (Great Works and Veazie) on the Penobscot River, and once a week since 1991 drafting an installment of A Word In Edgewise, his essay series addressing issues affecting our day-to-day lives — and WERU's oldest continuous short feature. When pandemics do not interfere, he does the Triple Crown of Maine open-water ocean swims (Peaks to Portland, Islesboro Crossing, and Nubble Light Challenge) and the Whitewater Downriver Point Series of the Maine Canoe and Kayak Racing Organization. RW is the father of two and the grandfather of three and lives with his partner Kathleen of 37 years and their two Maine Coons in Orono.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The Friends of Cortes Island (FOCI) have just published their summer activities program for 2024. “We're really delighted to be launching our 2024 Summer Events Program. We've got eight really fabulous events running in July and August. Everything from a low tide walk in Manson's Lagoon, which we call ‘Gumbooting in the Lagoon', through to a kayak tour of Hague and Gunflint Lakes. We've also got a tour of Blue Jay Farm, a herbal tea workshop, and an early morning seashore walk in front of Hollyhock. So lots of really exciting events coming up,” explained Helen Hall, Executive Director of FOCI. Cortes Currents: Are any of these activities hands on, where you get to really experience nature? Helen Hall: “All of them are like that. We've got a new event for us which is called Forest Foraging on Foot, and that's with permaculturalist and herbalist Maria McKenty. That's going to be a guided walk through Hank's Beach Forest Trails. People get a chance to learn about the nutritional and medicinal uses of plants, so that should be a really fun and engaging.” “Our ‘Gumbooting in the Lagoon' event is really hands on. Marine biologist, Deb Cowper is there to guide people around the lagoon and look at all the different marine life in the lagoon. On that event, we have lots of children who are really excited to take part. It's a bit like a marine treasure hunt for them. They look at crabs, the moon snails and Deb tells them all about it.” “We've also got a herbal tea workshop that we're running in August, which is where people can actually learn how to blend different herbs and make teas. So that's going to be a very hands on fun event for people to take part in too.” Cortes Currents: I noticed that two of your events or farm tours. Helen Hall: “That's learning about the two different farms: Blue Jay Farm and how people live there off grid. Max Thaysen, who's a farm resident, will be talking to people about some unique systems of human habitation there. The Linnaea Farm Tour is quite a nice tour for kids to take part in. They get to meet the farm animals, see life on the farm and where the food comes from.” Cortes Currents: Are these events fundraisers for FOCI? Helen Hall: “It helps, we do make a little bit of money about it, but our prime reason is to get people out there enjoying. the natural environment, having fun and discovering new things about the island.” Cortes Currents: Do you find that it that some people who go on the tours turn around and become volunteers for FOCAI? Hellen Hall: Yes, over the years had people volunteering or joining FOCAI as a member, and then getting more involved in the organization. Maybe a child who's come on our low tide Gumbooting walk will be inspired to become a marine biologist. When people do an event or activity, you never really know what they're taking away from it.” We get a mixture of locals and tourists, so it's a good way for us also to talk about the work we're doing in the different locations. Like we're doing some work at Manson's Spit next to the lagoon, so it gives us a chance to tell people about the work we're doing as well. So people get to learn a bit more about us as an organization. It's a lovely time in the summer to be outdoors exploring and we usually get really good feedback from people who take part. “I'd like to say one more thing about our summer events program. The program is on our website, which is friendsofcortes.org. You can find out more about the events there. If people want to book a spot, then they just have to contact the FOCI office by phoning 250-935-0087 or emailing us on friendsofcortes@gmail.com. The events are usually very popular, so we encourage people to book to make sure they get a spot.”

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - It has been two days since Isabella McKnight sent the word out. The Cortes Island Community Foundation was only a third of the way to collecting the 300 signatures needed for the  Vital Signs community survey!  “Vital Signs is a program supported by the Community Foundations of Canada. It's  more than just a survey. It's a powerful tool designed to illuminate the areas where our community thrives and also identify the aspects that need our collective attention and effort. So by participating, you're contributing to a richer understanding of Cortes, explained  McKnight, Executive Administrator of the Cortes Island Community Foundation. Cortes Currents: How important is this for grant applications? Isabella McKnight: “It will definitely help us streamline where the need in our community is, so it can definitely help us to decide what kind of grants we should apply for. For example: The housing needs on Cortes, or the need to support our elders, etc. It's really important to help us fill it out because we want to hear everyone's voice and understand, from a vast diversity of people, what Cortes needs and wants in the future.” Cortes Currents: When's the deadline?   Isabella McKnight: “The deadline for Vital Signs is July 7th.”  “We have an option on July 5th at the Friday Market for people to come in and fill out paper copies or on the computer. We also have paper mail and pouches available around the island at Manson's Hall, the Mansons Post Office, Whaletown Post Office, Bertha's, Klahoose, and at the library.”   Cortes Currents: How far are you towards getting the number of responses you need?   Isabella McKnight: “So as of yesterday, we are at 155 responses, which is over halfway to our goal of 300. We've been focusing lots of efforts on partnering with the non profits on the island to get them to share the survey out to their networks, as well as just reaching out to friends and family on Cortes to try and get as much representation as we can.” Isabella McKnight: “With the published data from this Vital Signs survey, the Cortes Foundation will be able to see where the gaps in our community are and where our residents believe we should be focusing our efforts, which is a huge reason to participate.” “It also helps provide our nonprofits with some information that they can use to help better serve our community. Plus, you can win some really great prizes.”   Cortes Currents: What are the prizes?   Isabella McKnight: “The prizes that we have available are:   a six hour trip with Misty Isle Adventures, $250 cash, dinner for two at Hollyhock, two 50 gift cards, one for the Refuge Cove Dockside restaurant and one for the gallery. A free Nzuri basket, a gift card from the Sunflower Food Truck, a free paddle with Cortes Kayaks, a gift set from Twigroot Botanicals, a handwoven tea towel from Beth Napper, handmade pottery from Jeramie Ellingson, and a massage from Fawn Baron.” “I really hope people take the time to participate. It's really great to get your voice heard and  feel free to stop by on July 5th at the Friday market to fill out a copy in person.”

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The summer market season begins on Wednesday June 26th, from 12:30-3:00 PM. “We're having our first artisans market at Hollyhock,  just outside the garden and the lodge in the grassy area above the hot tubs. This is our first in a series of  five or six markets that are happening  every second Wednesday afternoon over the summer.  We have a variety of artists, fiber artists, ceramicists, lotions, potion makers, clothing makers, painters and live music,” explained Tamlyn Collingwoood, Business Mentorship Coordinator for the Cortes Community Economic Development Association (CCEDA). “Come and check it out, everyone's welcome.” “This whole plan came out of a meeting that I had with Hollyhock, in the early winter, where they shared  their  wonderful ‘Things To Do' program. This is where they look for activities in the community for their guests to engage in, on their afternoons off.  My thought was to create some activities that also involve engaging with the community, engaging with local businesses and artists - making it  a win-win-win situation.” Cortes Currents: Where are you getting your artists and artisans? And can anyone get involved if they want to?  Tamlyn Collingwoood: “There's limited space, so it's pretty much full now, but hopefully we'll be able to spread out once the grass is fully grown. It was just recently seeded. The market is curated to support local artisans and local small businesses.” Cortes Currents: Are they all from the Friday Market?   Tamlyn Collingwoood: “No, there are a couple of vendors who come from the Friday market, but also some that don't. We do have one vendor from off island, Hillary from “Elsewhere Clothing,' a very popular handmade clothing line  from Vancouver Island. She comes once in a while to the Friday Market.” Some of the other artisans were listed in a press release:Moon Cat Magicals, Wild Spirit Glass, Twigroot Botanicals, Soft Rock Ceramics, Tenant Farms Handicrafts, Stephanie Whitman, Art Spirit Drum and Brigid Weiler Art. Tamlyn Collingwoood: “Once I started getting the word out there, about this market, a couple of the old timers told me that  there used to be an artisans market down by the beach at Hollyhock and that it was really fun. Some of those folks were just really excited to see that this was happening again, and I was really happy to hear  that this was something that people enjoyed and that we were bringing it back to life.” “I will be advertising the market in my usual bombarding way  on all of the social media pages, the Tideline and sending it out to my email list.”  “It's not just for Hollyhock guests. It's also to attract Cortes residents, or folks that might be here in the summer, to have a wander through the Hollyhock Garden, maybe visit the store or have a little bit of lunch before the market.  Come and enjoy the setting and check out  some really nice locally made art.” Cortes Currents: Do you have to pre book for the restaurant?  Tamlyn Collingwoood: “Yes,  there is a reservation system  for booking lunches at Hollyhock.  Anyone wanting to do that should phone Hollyhock and book ahead.  Lunch goes from 12:30 to 1:30. We'll be setting up the market right at the beginning of lunch, so people can get a little refreshment from the restaurant as well and come out and enjoy the market.”  Cortes Currents: What about the music?  Tamlyn Collingwoood: “Michael Keith is playing music for this market, which is fabulous. It's always a great time to have Michael playing music and just creating a nice vibe. Hopefully he'll be able to play for us again at one of our other markets.  All the vendors fees goes towards paying the musician, so if we have enough vendors, then we can hopefully afford to bring over a band that I really enjoyed  listening to at the Quadra Market.”

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The Creative Spaces Garden and Studio Tour is Saturday June 22, from 10 am to 4 pm. This is an annual fundraiser for the Cortes Island Museum, as well as a showcase of some of the island's hidden gems. “It's a great opportunity to feature creative talents of people on the island, and it's a self guided  tour of studios and gardens that takes you all the way around from Whaletown, down to Smelt Bay, and Cortes Bay. We've got painters, textile artists, weavers, spinners,  ceramicists .  We've got a number of potters and pottery studios that are participating. And then some beautiful spaces with gardens that range from low bluff to high bluff. You pick up a map, which includes a button, and you just go around the island visiting people that you may not know that they've had all these hidden talents, or see spaces that you were curious about but never had an opportunity to actually walk into. Walk through the gates and see what people are growing there,” explained Melanie Boyle, Managing Director of the Cortes Island Museum. “We have 15 spots, when I say spots I mean locations, because, even though one person's name may be on the garden description, we know that there are a lot of people who participate and contribute to the shape of any garden. So we say 15 different locations, and I would say that we've had a good representation  of artists.” Some of the artists will be selling work .And it's a great opportunity just to engage with your neighbors, for locals, as well as people coming from off island. Cortes Currents: Can you give examples of some of the spaces on the tour? Melanie Boyle: “Suzu Matsuda and Larry Cohen are longtime friends and longtime residents  of Cortes.  They have some beautiful works to show and their studios beautiful. Volker Steigeman and Larry built it together. It's a really unique space and a lot of people on the island may know of  their space because they held an annual pottery sale, which was  really popular.” “Brian Hayden's house up on the gorge is one of the houses that we're featuring here in the exhibition. When people go to visit Brian's garden, which is a really unique Mediterranean focused garden, they have an opportunity to see the outside of his home, which is based on a traditional pithouse design from the interior of BC First Nations design. Brian's landscaped and really integrated  the building with the landscape. The home was designed by David Shipway and built by Trigva Ellingson and his crew.”   “Christer Ekstrom has a very beautiful contemplative style of painting. He has a beautiful studio up north of Whaletown, and  it was a delight to have visited his studio last year.” “Filipe Figuera  will also be showing at the Schoolhouse Gallery this year. He was on the tour last year, and  Philippe will be featuring his  paintings as well.” “Jeremy Ellingson and Aaron Ellingson live in a historic float house on Haig Lake. Jeremy has a ceramics practice, and she will be opening the doors to  her studio, as well.” “Mary Claire Preston is down at Foxglove Pottery Studios.” This is the first time Ayami Stryck has opened her her textile studio for the tour. “Hollyhock Garden is always spectacular and they're on the tour as well.  Hollyhock is offering a 10 percent discount  for lunch for  ticket holders. This lunch discount requires pre-reservation, as spots are limited.” “The heritage garden here at the museum has really been spruced up.

SOULS are WAKING UP - A NEW TIME FOR HUMANITY! Rob SchwartzToday we're talking with Past Life Regression Therapist Rob Schwartz

#285 In this podcast episode, Guy interviewed Rob Schwartz, the founder of Your Soul's Plan. They discussed the concept of pre-birth planning and how our lives may be predetermined before we are born. Rob shared his personal journey of discovering pre-birth planning through a psychic medium and channeling sessions. He explained that pre-birth planning is based on the idea of spiritual growth and the cultivation of divine virtues. They also explored the topic of ascension and the process of raising the vibration of the Earth and individuals. Rob emphasized the importance of surrender, non-resistance, and creating internal spaciousness for healing and growth. He encouraged listeners to consider exploring their own pre-birth plans through sessions or workshops. About Rob: Rob Schwartz is a hypnotist who offers Between Lives Soul Regressions (BLSRs) to help people heal and understand their life plans. In a BLSR you can speak directly with your Council of Elders, the wise, loving, and highly evolved beings who can tell you what you planned for your current lifetime and why, how well you're fulfilling your plan, and how you may better fulfill your plan.  Rob's first book, Your Soul's Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born, explores the pre-birth planning of physical illness, having disabled children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, the death of a loved one, and accidents.  His second book, Your Soul's Gift: The Healing Power of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born, explores the pre-birth planning of spiritual awakening, miscarriage, abortion, suicide, caregiving, sexuality, adoption, having pets, poverty, mental illness, and other life challenges and experiences.  His third book Your Soul's Love: Living the Love You Planned Before You Were Born is about the pre-birth planning of challenges related to romantic relationships or their absence: infidelity; impotence; raising children alone after the death of one's partner; being single; and celibate relationships.  Rob's books have been translated into 27 languages. He teaches internationally on the subject of pre-birth planning at such venues as The United Nations, Kripalu, 1440 Multiversity, and Hollyhock. Key Points Discussed:  (00:00) - Pre-birth Planning & Your Soul's Evolution. (09:31) - Unconditional love shapes our lives. (13:02) - Healing through pre-birth planning. (19:01) - Healing trauma through conscious awareness. (27:57) - Goal of the soul: Unique contribution to Godhead. (31:18) - The ego can lead to suffering.

It's the latest trend... preserving the brides bouquet.  But what goes into doing this?  How do ensure your bouquet is able to get to her before it looks brown and sad?  Our guest this week is Annie Smith - The owner of Pressed Garden.  A business totally focused on doing everything possible to preserve the bridal bouquet... forever!Annie has always loved flowers, even as a small child, making flowers out of kleenex and making Hollyhock dolls in her grandmother's yard. As soon as she could, she was reading books about growing plants/flowers. After a bitter divorce, she pulled the book back out and found Cellestine online. Over the remainder of her life, she became a friend and mentor, answering questions and even gifting her with a library of book about floral preservation. In 2005, It was time to make her passion a reality, and so Pressed Garden was born. Over the year she moved to several different states, but when she moved to Florida, she knew this was it!  Flowers could be delivered easiiy over night from anywhere in the United States. Even with this accessibility she will only work on two bouquets a week because quality counts! So much has gone into the bouquet. From creation, through photos, until the very end of the night. Those flowers have had a journey. With one last trip to her, so she will preserves everything she can.To chime in during the live show, comment on our YouTube Chanel.

The Couple Next Door was a similar Peg Lynch radio series which aired on CBS Radio during the waning days of network radio, (December 30, 1957 – November 25, 1960) with Peg Lynch and Alan Bunce as the married couple.

They join activists, scientists and Indigenous leaders, in an attempt to uncover corruption and stop injustice before it's too late.   Elena's home-base is in Tofino, British Columbia, within the traditional territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation, surrounded by the coastal rainforest and mountains of Vancouver Island. Elena is an avid adventurer, runner, surfer, certified diver and multi-faceted creative, with a lively sense of humour and insatiable curiousity. She's passionate about impactful stories and how they shape culture, as well as reconnecting with the wild and wellness.   Winner:  Rob Stewart Eco Warrior Award at VIFF   Coextinction is currently premiering and screening at festivals globally.  Follow us at @coextinctionfilm and subscribe below for action alerts!   www.coextinctionfilm.com www.about.me/elena.jean www.elenajean.com www.instagram.com/elena.jean   @coextinctionfilm @centerforwhaleresearch #wearetheorca #seashepardvancouver #marinemammalrescue @marinemammalrescue #robstewart #Ecowarrior @elena.jean #elena.jean @one.species #orcalabbc @orcalabbc @waterbearnetwork @documentary @#wearetheorca #seashepard #greenpeace #suzukifoundation @willgeorge36 @seashepardfrance @seashepard @gloriapancrazi @andrewluba @little.gypsea      

Our guest today works with the RainCoast Conservation Foundation - a non-profit, empowered by research to protect the lands, waters, and wildlife of coastal British Columbia Please welcome Chelsea Greer to IMPACT!   If you like what we are doing please like, share and subscribe to IMPACT    This episode is sponsored by Hollyhock -  dedicated to helping create a better future via education and personal sharing.  www.hollyhock.ca   Full Bio: Chelsea Greer is an emerging conservation scientist with an interest in animal ethics and coexistence. She holds a MSc in Geography from the University of Calgary and a BSc in Applied Animal Biology from the University of British Columbia.    Chelsea currently works with Raincoast Conservation Foundation - a non-profit organization made up of a team of conservationists and scientists empowered by our research to protect the lands, waters, and wildlife of coastal British Columbia.    Chelsea joined the Raincoast team in 2021 to help develop the Wolf Conservation Program and continues to coordinate and deliver the program's various initiatives. Raincoast's wolf initiatives are working toward implementation of provincial policy that respects the welfare of wolves and their ecological role. This includes putting an end to the killing of wolves in BC for the purposes of predator control, trophy, and perceived competition for shared prey.    Raincoast is currently raising funds to stop commercial trophy hunting in more than a quarter of the Great Bear Rainforest in BC. Purchasing the Southern Great Bear Rainforest Tenure, which covers 18,239 km2, protects wolves and dozens of other species from being commercially trophy hunted because it gives Raincoast the exclusive rights to commercially guide trophy hunters. Raincoast currently controls the commercial hunting rights in five tenures, more than 38,000 km2 of the BC coast – an area larger than Vancouver Island or the entire country of Belgium.   ● Safeguarding Coastal Carnivores in the Southern Great Bear Rainforest tenure: https://www.raincoast.org/trophy-hunt/   ● Take action to protect BC Wolves: https://www.raincoast.org/wolves/   Social platforms: ● Twitter: @chelgreer @raincoast ● Instagram: @raincoastconservation ● Website: www.raincoast.org ● Email: chelsea@raincoast.org www.raincoast.eco/link/

Part 1: When Aparna Nancherla's science fair project goes awry, she and her fellow students make some unethical choices. Part 2: After a reluctant start, mathematician Ken Ono makes an unexpected discovery. Aparna Nancherla is a comedian and general silly billy. Her sense of humor is dry, existential, and absurd, with notes of uncalled-for whimsy. Think a wine you didn't order. You can watch Aparna as Grace the belabored HR rep on the Comedy Central show, Corporate or hear her as the voice of Hollyhock on Bojack Horseman. She also has a half-hour special on the second season of The Standups on Netflix, as well as appearances on Late Night with Stephen Colbert on CBS and Two Dope Queens on HBO.

In 2016, she released her debut album, Just Putting It Out There, on Tig Notaro's label, Bentzen Ball Records, and recorded a half hour special for Comedy Central. On Monday nights, she co-hosts Butterboy at Littlefield in Park Slope, Brooklyn at 8 p.m. with genius treasures Jo Firestone and Maeve Higgins. Ken Ono is the Thomas Jefferson Professor of Mathematics at the University of Virginia and the Chair of Mathematics at the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has published over 200 research articles in number theory. Professor Ono has received many awards for his research, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Packard Fellowship and a Sloan Fellowship.
