THE YOGA CLASSES:

Hi there Students. It is the CUP WEEKEND, but it is still work for me…. There are still yoga classes, and the timetable is still the timetable. If changes are not listed they are not happening..

I am especially gratified by the growing interest and attendance at our RESTORATIVE classes which are tailored to assist healing, rehab and renewal. These sessions are also ideal for those who are experiencing life changes, challenges and those people who have experienced trauma. These classes are especially calming and restful for those presently going through serious health challenges.. You don’t need to be fit, healthy or an athlete. It is called “yoga” but is a yoga you can do too. We can also personally design an experience of Restorative Yoga on a one-to-one basis. For that special gift, vouchers also available in our studio.

 

You will notice that i have increased the number of RESTORATIVE CLASSES.  I also welcome one-on-ones.  You may only do a private class once, and then you can join a regular class in a much more positive frame of mind.  It works.

 

EUROPEAN WASP SEASON.

I know all about wasps,  I had a huge nest in the walls of the office.  Thank goodness we discovered it in time – the wasps had eaten the plaster and all that was between me and them was the layer of paint!  It is not unusual.  Last year, I discovered a new nest in the ceiling, and about the same time they totally destroyed my bee hive – killed the queen and just took over.  This year I am following Jan Strawhorne’s advice (a year or so ago she trapped 300 wasp queens in these traps – she had 30 traps out on her property).   She follows a guy called Laurie.  Look up “laurielure” on google.  He gives detailed instructions for these traps. You need to follow them closely, and make more than one.  Remember, wasps travel in a straight line – not like bees.  Wasp queens discover new nesting sites and are joined by the rest of the hive.  So discard what you know about bees, and think wasp.  All you need is soft drink bottles, honey, water and vanilla essence.  AND THEY ARE TRIED AND TESTED.  If every neighbourhood did this, we would have far fewer wasp invasions.  Even if you haven’t been INVADED, hang at least one of these traps to trap what you can.  They are not attractive to bees, native or otherwise.

 

ART HEALS www.jahnehopewilliams.com (new website)

My miniatures are at The Woodend Art Group annual pre-christmas sale. The three that I have included are VAN GOGH’S CHAIR, GAUGAINS CHAIR, and a KLIMT.   I am also having a showing of my work at my home gallery/studio on the 25th of November between 2pm and 4pm. If you are interested, please email me and let me know your interest. I even have had people come up to me in the supermarket and at church to let me know they are coming… Just keep an eye on the NEW web site www.jahnehopewilliams.net for their progress.

Below is a miniature of Gaugain’s Chair.  there is a matching Van Gogh’s chair.  A lovely set.  I must say i like miniatures in sets.

 

 

KING TUT.  The recent use of DNA evidence in art history is very exciting.  We are finding out so much more than we have previously even been able to imagine.   I have almost completed a miniature  (which i will share with you when I have finished it),  of the tiny sarcophagus of one of Tutankhamen’s recently discovered still-borne children.  Tiny, tiny mummified bodies.   I have only painted the child’s face..  Tut was quite a physically deformed pharaoh – a Richard III sort of King .  He had a club foot, an outward gait, and a strange spine, due,  they have discovered , to the custom of in-breeding which they felt was necessary to keep their “God” bloodline pure.  It did the opposite. These deformities meant that he could not safely ride in a chariot and the injuries discovered on his body recently indicate that a chariot accident probably caused his death.  They have also discovered that he had two stillborn children by his “sister queen”.

I found it a heartbreaking story, and have done this miniature to remember and mark the birth of not just Tut’s children, but my own three that I lost.  Maybe you have had this experience – it doesn’t leave, but we learn to love these children always,  even if they are not with us.  I don’t know if you have even thought of this, but Tut is only remembered because of his fabulous death mask and funeral stash.  Rameses (the Donald Trump of Egypt), totally eradicated all reference of Tut, his queen, his successor and his father. Apart from the still born children there were no living heirs in his direct line.    A sad story.

If you don’t have it, you can’t give it away.   There are still some glitches on the site regarding times but you can read the times I have inserted in the course details. www.jahnehopewilliams.net

 

PRIVATE VIEWING of my art, at my studio on Sunday the 25th November between 2 and 4pm. This will be the first time in years I have held an exhibition in my studio, and it is a preview of the work in the print sets.   It will be just like a European “vernissage”. My work, a private view with nibbles and champagne. An art “happening” in the comfort of my studio. Come along, have a look at the artwork, spend time in the garden. A beautiful afternoon talking art (and yoga). If you are interested please contact me. It is a small studio, and the viewing will be by invitation.

MY MARK

You will notice at the bottom of my paintings a red ink stamped mark which is almost more important than the painting itself… certainly to me. It is the mark of a crane’s foot in the sand.

The Aztecs called themselves “The Crane people”. One of the Anishinataabe clan was named “the cranes” – Ajijak or Businassee – the Echo makers. The Crow and the Cheyenne peoples carved cranes leg bones into hollow flutes, echoing the Echo maker.  In Africa, the crowned crane ruled words and thought. We are told the Greek Palamedes invented the letters of the alphabet by watching noisy cranes in flight.  In Persian kurti, in Arabic ghurnuq the bird that awakens before the rest of creation to say their dawn prayers. The Chinese xian-he, the birds of heaven carried messages on their backs between world.  Cranes dance in southwestern American petroglyphs. Old Man Crane taught the Tewa to dance and the Australian Aborigines tell a story of a beautiful and perfect dancer turned by a medicine man into a crane.

Apollo came and went in crane form – and so the stories of the crane go on through the history in story of the world. Tecumseh tried to unite the scattered nations under the banner of Crane Power, and in time, the Hopi mark for the cranes foot, (similar to the little red stamp I sign my work with), became the world’s peace symbol.

Cranes help carry a soul to paradise. In Japan pictures of cranes line the windows of mourning houses, and crane shaped jewellery adorns the dead. Cranes are souls that once were humans and will be again. Or humans are souls that once were cranes and will be again.

Something in the crane is trapped halfway, in the middle between now and when.

 

YOGA AT the Church

This group is stabilising.  I am looking forward to more joining.  We have also been asked to start a new group in RIDDLES CREEK.  This will be wonderful, as it also has a labyrinth attached.  people can do yoga, have lunch and then, walk the labyrinth.   WE do what we can with what we have, where we are (as the Buddha says).  When we do that, when we do what we have been given with passion and care, then, we are given a bigger picture.  But we have to start at the beginning… not at the end.  We have to start in the ‘mail room”, not in the Director’s Chair.

 

STUDIO YOGA CLASSES .

I now have classes I have had to close as they are full  –  Wednesday at 5.30 and Saturday at 12.30.  No new students possible.   We have changed (due to demand) the Wednesday 12.30 class into a RESTORATIVE CLASS.   So there are a number of classes that are possible if you are not a “regular” at Wednesday at 5.30.   Monday and Friday at 5.30, and the new Wednesday 12.30 Class.  Your choice.

 

Please keep in mind that the consecutive class passes are CONSECUTIVE. I love a phone call to alert me if you can’t come, but that does not mean that the pass will extend for one extra week free. CONSECUTIVE IS CONSECUTIVE.

If you want to learn on a regular basis….Experience the joy of painting and drawing by learning to trust your intuitive self with me!. Painting this natural, gentle way allows you to let go of the inner critic that keeps you away from your full aliveness and creativity. The oil pastels are a way of achieving a quick result, and you get to touch and smooch the medium across the paper. It is like painting with lipstick!

All you need is the desire to paint, and the courage to express yourself. No art experience necessary.

 

TUESDAYS from7pm- 9pm

COST $250 for 5 classes – we are taking September bookings. We experiment every week with new materials and skills to enhance your finished image.

All materials will be provided.  By the end of the class you will have a unique image to take home, and frame to put in your own meditation room. Maybe good enough, stunning enough to be an heirloom. No painting experience needed. If you are nimble enough to sign your own name, you can do these classes.

 

SATURDAYS 9am SUMII (ZEN YOGA) BRUSHPAINTING – “ONE BREATH ONE LINE” $20 per session.     This is the traditional painting on rice paper, but once the fundamentals are achieved, with a twist. On the longer classes, we will be doing it the “zen way” and painting things that can’t be painted. Love, joy, yoga, spirit, speed…etc etc.   No right, no wrong, just what you can do. Your expression. We will be using traditional materials, we will be doing yoga breathing, AND A PAINTING will be the result.. Grind the ink, use the brush, paint the painting….. Sounds easy, BUT as in yoga, the foundations are everything.

 

SCULPTURE REQUEST: I have let it be known that we are looking for a sculptor or an iron worker/blacksmith. THE BLUE LADY totally shattered in the cold this year, and as she was our logo and a landmark in our town for 25 years, I am trying to replace her in some way. I have been donated an almost full size Jesus statue (concrete – probably rescued from an old catholic grotto) which I am going to paint in cobalt, and decorate in interfaith symbols (“OM” being one). The sculptor needs to build a frame to raise and support this very heavy statue. No crosses – Jesus has been there and I don’t want to send him back. If you are interested in tendering for this job, please email me at yogafirst2@bigpond.com. No scribbles on the back of an envelope please, this is a serious job, and I want to know everything about how you would execute the brief.

 

FELTING.

Below is a notice for a felting class to be held by The Woodend Art Group.  Christina has visited and taught there before – so if you want to learn, she is a great teacher.  You can make enquiries and book when you come to the Art Show over the Long Weekend.    The Woodend Railway Station.

 

 

THE LATEST ART SHOW:

PRIVATE VIEWING of my art, at my studio(37 Morris Road, Woodend)  on Sunday the 25th November between 2 and 4pm. This will be the first time in years I have held an exhibition in my studio..   It will be just like a European “vernissage”. My work, a private view with nibbles and champagne.

MY PENDULUM (and/or THE TAROT) 

My ETSY shop sells everything pendulum and this week I am putting up some new pearly ones. You will love them. Pendulums you can carry with you at all times.

YOUR SESSION: We can identify additional minerals and supplements, balance your diet, test for food sensitivities…. Health, business whatever. $55 one question, $75 two questions $150 for a general life reading for people who are stuck. On the farm I never made a change without dowsing first..

If you want a life reading, your house made well from underground streams or geopathic stress, or want your garden explored for sculpture, rock or major tree placement sites… I can help you.

If you want a lovely pendulum I have made a few very interesting, unique pendulums and have put them on etsy. www.myyogabooks.etsy.com

 

KOMBUCHA CLASS.

The popularity of Kombucha is not waning. I take a bottle or two to the Monday Lunches, and always have a volunteer to take home any leftovers. It is so easy to make I don’t know why all of you have decided not to do it. Some folk say they don’t have time. You could do it whilst you are making yourself a cuppa. It is the same method. Make tea, dissolve sugar. The Scobie does the rest. All you have to do is wait until the bubbles form, and then repeat the process 2 or so weeks later. How hard can it be..,I have a largish book on making Kombucha on the Web. Please go to www.myyogabooks.etsy.com if you want to know how to add crystals, herbs and flowers to your brew.

 

Why Register with THE AUSTRALASIAN YOGA INSTITUTE? 

It is about LINEAGE. You trained with us, you are a part of our lineage (or we are a part of yours), Registration supports this. PLEASE, PLEASE CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION. You need to be currently registered for your insurance to be valid, and you will need to supply a copy of a valid registration to be insured.   Please check your insurance requirements – keep up to date. They change quickly.

 

REGISTRATION – CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENT.

THIS APPLIES TO EVERYONE.

We have fallen in line with other organisations and ask people who are registered with us and wish to re-register to do at least one short course in the year as a continuing education requirement. You need to keep up. You can do one of my little courses on ETSY, or someone else’s, doesn’t have to be onerous, just something to keep you on your academic toes so to speak. Just watching a DVD won’t be enough unless you actually write a report on what you watched and why you watched it – the outcome – how it changed how you do what you do.

PARKING HOME STUDIO – 37 Morris Road, Woodend.

PLEASE, PLEASE Park on white gravel in front of the studio. I had the garden made into an attractive parking lot. When it was lawn you didn’t even think about parking on the lawn or the nature strip. Now it is especially for parking, you park blocks away and walk. What is this about? If my park places are full, you can park in the drive-way directly opposite in front of double grey garage rolladoors. Not in front of neighbours driveways please.

(Directors – Jayne Boyle  – crusoedenbody@bigpond.com).  Regular classes held – please email for timetable.

 

UNHOMOGENISED AHIMSA MILK

If you are REALLY into great yoghurt, cream, butter or cottage cheese (and milk of course), then go no further than MOTHERCOWDAIRY run by the Hare Krishna people. The milk comes from totally free range cows, it is hormone and antibiotic free, is rich and creamy, naturally high in A2 and calcium and is a fair-go for local farmers. For your local stockiest, email: info@mothercowdairy.com.au

 

CALCIUM WITHOUT PILLS

Of course you could use the milk above, but if you are milk-free, here is an idea that came out of our discussions on Sunday Teacher Training.

Get a jar, and put a few eggs in the jar (4 perhaps?) cover the eggs with fresh squeezed lemon juice. Leave it for a week or so, turning at least once a day, very gently. The shells will dissolve somewhat (leaving the eggs intact). After a week or so, gently pour off the lemon juice, and use about 15ml perday in a drink – your total calcium requirement is in this lemon/egg shell juice. You can use the eggs in cooking.

 

REALLY HELPFUL BOOKS:

SATURDAY MORNINGS 9am – Sumii

I am still open to teaching on a Saturday morning at 9am. This is a one hour class where I will teach SUMII (Chinese/Japanese) brush painting. The cost of this class is $30. You are most welcome even if you haven’t done this before. It is also a great class for people wanting to work on their brush skills. All materials provided.

 

FELTING CLASS IN WOODEND.  This class is being conducted through the Woodend Art Group (at the Woodend Railway Station).  If you go to the exhibition over the long weekend you can make enquiries in person, and book.

 

THE ALCHEMIST ART STORE in Sunbury. Our demonstration…Happened on Saturday 13th October at 4pm. (The store is in the same shopping centre as Aldi in Gap Rd. Right next door to the Asian Food store). It was fantastic – about 10 in the audience, and I was able to demonstrate (and the class was able to play) with materials that the store stock and I have used for many years. Thank goodness for the Alchemist. If you came to class, or you are interested in miniatures, egg-tempera, or oil pastels and gilding, please come to my studio and learn the finer points. I teach the methods used by DaVinci and Cellini – who taught “decorum” alongside painting. Good combo!

 

MAKE ART MAKE YOGA MAKE MONEY:   No matter if you are an artist of any form, or a yoga teacher in any discipline, like me you need to make money. If like me, you want to give it away that’s terrific (and great fun), but you have to make it first. If you don’t have it, you can’t give it away.   There are still some glitches on the site regarding times but you can read the times I have inserted in the course details. www.jahnehopewilliams.net

 

PRIVATE VIEWING of my art, at my studio on Sunday the 25th November between 2 and 4pm. This will be the first time in years I have held an exhibition in my studio, and it is a preview of the work in the print sets.   It will be just like a European “vernissage”. My work, a private view with nibbles and champagne. An art “happening” in the comfort of my studio. Come along, have a look at the artwork, spend time in the garden. A beautiful afternoon talking art (and yoga). If you are interested please contact me. It is a small studio, and the viewing will be by invitation.

FOOD BANK at THE UNITING CHURCH.

Even if you think there are others “worse off” than you, come to lunch and the food bank and yoga of course. Like Ronnie Khan of OZ HARVEST, we are “food fighters”.   Come to yoga at 11am, then come to our COMMUNITY LUNCH on Mondays at 12 noon, followed by 1pm meditation – and if you are having a struggle to make ends meet, then come and shop at THE FOOD BANK (they have things like coffee, trail mix, soup, powdered milk…) amazing things that you will use and need – the usually expensive things. Please don’t come thinking “someone else is worse off”. This will always be the case. If you need help, please take our help. These items are such a help, please, please become a “customer” otherwise the doors will close (that applies to the FREE yoga too).
