Plant based Indigo Blue has a long and complicated story with humans. Our obsession with this color has uplifted it to the realm of the sacred and justified some of the most horrific actions in history. In this talk we will learn a bit about the plants at the center of these many stories, about how indigo might be the common thread that can help us face what has come before, and find our way through the complex times we are living in now.
The annual community show at the Hoffman Gallery will use the indigo as the theme in January 2024, so this is a great opportunity to get some inspiration and get those creative juices flowing!
Tickets available for purchase here: hoffmanarts.org/events/lecture-the-devils-dye-stories-of-indigo/
We’ll practice yoga, affirmations & dreamy guided visualizations together on the grass, beneath the trees, and just blocks from the sea.
We’ll start our 2-hour experience with a seated 5-minute meditation and ceremony to connect with the natural forces all around us & with ourselves as part of nature.

Next, we’ll move through a 1-hour yoga sequence to conjure up the heat of our bodies and feel into the heat of this season.
After we move, we’ll spend about 40 minutes in restorative yoga and yin shapes, with a hand pan/singing bowl sound bath and some optional aromatherapy. During this time April will guide you through a replenishing visualization and affirmations journey to stir up your wildest, warmest dreams and call them into reality.

Sean Gaskell will be here with a kora, a 21-stringed harp native to the Mandinka people of West Africa. The sound can best be described as melodic, resonant, rhythmic, and intricate. The origins of the kora date back over 300 years, while some of the music can be traced back to the mid 13th century.
Gaskell has been playing and performing the kora since 2007 with over 300 performances at libraries across the US and Canada. He’s had three extended visits to The Gambia where he had the privilege of studying with some of the kora’s great masters. He presents the kora as a way to connect people to different sounds, ideas, and experiences, and is deeply appreciative for the opportunity to present something that is completely new and unheard of to so many people.
We’re super excited to have him!
You can read more about Sean Gaskell and view a video of him playing the kora at this link: directory.ashevillemusicprofessionals.com/www-seangaskell-com

Known as the “Boogie Cat,” Sylvester was inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame in 2011. He’s shared stages with a who’s-who of the blues, including BB King, Buddy Guy, Mavis Staples and more.
The “Boogie Cat” was born in Bonita, Louisiana, where he began singing gospel in church. At the age of 12, the Sylvester family boarded the Union Pacific train for a new life in the Pacific Northwest.
As legend has it, a twenty-something Norman attended a concert of Buddy Guy and talked his way on stage. After Norman’s performance, Guy encouraged him to devote himself to a career in music.
Besides performing regularly, Sylvester and his band teaches blues history in local schools and mentors young artists.
This free, family friendly concert begins at 5:00PM. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets, low-backed chairs and fully stocked picnic baskets.
The park is located in downtown Cannon Beach, northeast of the Chamber of Commerce at 2nd & Spruce.
The concert is produced by the Tolovana Arts Colony and made possible by a Community Grant from the City of Cannon Beach.
