VASHON INTUITIVE ARTS IS HONORING THE SACRED GIFT OF INTUITION!
Visit our web page for Calendar of Events




Marcia McKinzie, March Artist of the Month, graces our walls with her remarkable view of flowers, roosters and this gorgeous butterfly! Come in and have a look for yourself, close up and personal. Her watercolor batik on rice paper pieces are available for purchase.



"Butterfly"


Marcia's Butterfly brings to mind a feature that we will be covering on these pages about animal "medicine". When a certain animal appears in our life, one that we are drawn to, or in one of our dreams, they are messengers. Notice how and when in your life a certain animal comes to your awareness.

 Gazing upon this butterfly is a reminder of Spring around the corner, and the month of March preparing us for Winter closure. We begin to awaken from our "cocoons", stretch, move and fly! 
Butterfly also reminds us to take life a little less seriously, notice color in the world, and experience each moment joyfully. It also symbolizes change and transformation. Butterfly medicine teaches us that growth does not have to be harsh, we can do it gently and sweetly! 

From Art and Jewelry by Ginny Ciszek

The butterfly is a fragile creature who reminds us that life is to be celebrated often within the relatively short-lived time that we spend on Earth as we flit about to and fro. 
Butterly reminds us to dance!

Speaking of dance, VIA is featuring "Dances of Universal Peace" on March 24th, from 7pm-8:30.
 More details to follow!!!



Who are these Beautiful Ladies?

These are the WONTU (Women On Now Time United).

 Lorna Cunningham (top left, back row), leads the group with her magical, intuitive, knowledgeable and nurturing spirit. The group meets on the first Sunday of the Month from 1-4pm, and has grown each time, with an attraction so compelling that some are traveling from across the waters!

This is a unique circle of sharing, empowering, relating, and clarifying. It is for women desirous of community to come to a place for transformation, benefiting the individual and the collective consciousness. It is a group for self-discovery,  knowledge and wisdom.  

This Sunday's subject was Archetypes. Archetypal knowledge, according to Caroline Myss, is "the lens through which to see your life and everyone's and everything in it. It is becoming aware of your agenda. The more enlightened you become about why you do what you do, you learn that consciousness is choice, and the more you ask yourself what the lesson of the archetype is, you examine your patterns and make better choices." 

We learned so much about ourselves and the others in the room. The ladies had an instant rapport, bonding and honoring eachother, laughing often! Learning, laughter, prayer, music: these will always be part of our gathering. Bring something of yours that is significant to you to place on the Alter. The suggested donation is $10.00 and includes refreshments.
Singing bowls and drum meditation are a treat from Lorna. We welcome all to enhance our gathering!
