SUMMARY:Opening Reception: "Liberty and Labor" Exhibit at Wistariahurst
DESCRIPTION:Wistariahurst Museum is celebrating the Fourth Annual Women’s History Month juried art showcase. This year\, the theme is women’s labor and community building efforts. An opening reception for this exhibit entitled Liberty and Labor will be held on March 10th\, 2026. \nLiberty and Labor includes the work of artists who identify as women or nonbinary. Historically\, Women’s labor has been undervalued and overlooked. Oftentimes\, the work women have done in areas such as homemaking\, community building\, and parenting\, has not even been viewed as work. Liberty and Labor highlights these efforts\, and others\, that showcase the hard work and dedication of women throughout history. From fiber art to painting\, and sculpture\, this exhibit includes a wide array of thought provoking pieces that connect with this theme. \nArtists featured in this exhibit include Jankaleishka Burgos Cruz\, Amy Crawley\, Campbell Lackey\, and Nancy Myrdal Carroll . There are also several other artists who have been awarded honorable mentions and will display their work as well. \nThe opening reception of Liberty and labor will be held Tuesday\, March 10th\, from 4:30 – 6:30 pm. Wistariahurst is an artist-friendly space that encourages creativity and supports the growth of this region’s artists. Open Gallery Hours will be held from March 10th – April 7th on Mondays (10am-2pm) and Tuesdays (4:30pm-6:30pm)\, which will also be free and open to the public. We hope that you stop by and explore Liberty and Labor. \nThis program is funded in part by a grant from the Holyoke Local Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency. \nEl Museo Wistariahurst celebra la cuarta edición anual de la exposición de arte con jurado del Mes de la Historia de la Mujer. Este año\, el tema es el trabajo de las mujeres y sus esfuerzos por construir comunidad. La recepción inaugural de esta exposición\, titulada «Libertad y trabajo»\, se celebrará el 10 de marzo de 2026. \n«Libertad y trabajo» incluye obras de artistas que se identifican como mujeres o no binarias. Históricamente\, el trabajo de las mujeres ha sido infravalorado y pasado por alto. A menudo\, el trabajo que las mujeres han realizado en ámbitos como las tareas domésticas\, la construcción de la comunidad y la crianza de los hijos ni siquiera se ha considerado trabajo. «Libertad y trabajo» destaca estos esfuerzos\, entre otros\, que muestran el arduo trabajo y la dedicación de las mujeres a lo largo de la historia. Desde arte textil hasta pintura y escultura\, esta exposición incluye una amplia gama de piezas que invitan a la reflexión y que conectan con este tema. \nEntre los artistas que participan en esta exposición se encuentran Jankaleishka Burgos Cruz\, Amy Crawley\, Campbell Lackey y Nancy Myrdal Carroll. También hay otros artistas que han recibido menciones honoríficas y que también expondrán sus obras. \nLa recepción inaugural de Liberty and labor tendrá lugar el martes 10 de marzo\, de 4:30 a 6:30 p. m. Wistariahurst es un espacio acogedor para los artistas que fomenta la creatividad y apoya el crecimiento de los artistas de esta región. El horario de apertura de la galería será del 10 de marzo al 7 de abril\, los lunes (de 10:00 a 14:00) y los martes (de 16:30 a 18:30)\, y será gratuito y abierto al público. Esperamos que se acerque y explore «Libertad y trabajo». \nEste programa está financiado en parte por una subvención del Holyoke Local Cultural Council\, una agencia local que cuenta con el apoyo del Mass Cultural Council\, una agencia estatal.

SUMMARY:Beginning Your Spiritual Journey
DESCRIPTION:Every spiritual path begins with a single step… but it is the foundation of those steps that determines how far you can go. Beginning Your Spiritual Journey is a twelve-week Live In-Person immersive course designed to give you the tools\, practices\, and wisdom to start safely\, clearly\, and with confidence. Over the span of three months\, you will learn how to ground and protect your energy\, clear your field\, and strengthen your spiritual awareness. Week by week\, you’ll discover how to work with the elements of Earth\, Water\, Fire\, and Air; awaken the chakras and understand their role in your wellbeing; and practice seeing auras\, connecting with guides\, and sensing energy in yourself and others. With every session\, you will experience your growth in real time\, noticing how much stronger\, steadier\, and more open your energy becomes. This is not theory alone. You will be given practical exercises: feeling and moving energy in your hands\, using breathwork to balance the elements\, learning to sense truth from falsehood\, practicing psychometry\, and even exploring the four directions and their sacred teachings. We will weave together grounding\, natural law\, compassion\, and spiritual hygiene so that your journey begins from a place of strength. By the end of the twelve weeks\, you will have a living road map to continue your path; one that includes protection practices\, a deeper understanding of your own aura and chakras\, connection with spirit guides\, and a foundation of natural law and compassion to guide you. This course is perfect for those at the beginning of their spiritual awakening\, as well as anyone who has explored before but longs for a stronger\, safer\, more heart-centered foundation. “Early Bird” Coupon Code upon checkout to save $25 if you sign up by Feb 28!
