Monthly Song Circle
2024-07-01 18:30 - 20:30 | Leavenworth, US Hwy 2, Leavenworth, WA, 98826, United States
Shine Song Collective presents a Monthly Song Circle.

Every month on the 1st – locations will vary.

What is a Shine Song circle? Together we will sing simple, heartfelt songs that invoke our inner most power. Our voice is a musical instrument…but also an instrument for healing, for mental clarity, for generating true confidence, and for the awakening of a heightened consciousness.

While many other musical events are passive – you listen and take it in, our offering is active. Shine song circles are all about how it feels on the inside, not about how it sounds on the outside, a safe place to express yourself. Be prepared for movement and soul connections too, through the power of our collective voice.

We’ll be singing old songs, new songs, loud ones, soft ones, funny, intense and tender ones. Yours, mine and ours. No experience necessary, all are welcome. Just bring your open heart. And some water.
~~~
S.H.I.N.E stands for
S. Sacred synchronicity in song
H. Harmonically holding space to heal
I. Inspiring innovative inner work, inclusively
N. nurturing new neural pathways for nourishment
E. Everyone elevates ecstatically!

Book Launch: Serenade of the Sasquatch by Rachael Lundin
2024-06-29 13:00 - 15:00 | A Book for All Seasons, 707 US Hwy 2, Ste. B, Leavenworth, WA, 98826, United States
A Book for All Seasons is excited to host the book launch and signing for local young adult fiction writer, Rachael Lundin and her debut book, Serenade of the Sasquatch (taking place here in Leavenworth)!
Lundin introduces us to River, a Sasquatch on a quest that brings him to a small town in North Central Washington. This is a story about two teenagers who have a chance encounter with Bigfoot. In the midst of their research, they learn to rely on each other, run into a mysterious man at an abandoned cabin and stumble upon a missing person’s cold case. But really, it’s a story about friendship and facing life’s challenges in a complicated world where parents die, go missing, or are dealing with alcohol addiction. It is in short, an adventure story that explores friendship and loyalty while solving a mystery. This is the first book in a series entitled The Chorus Chronicles.

Author Bio:
Rachael Lundin lives in Wenatchee, WA. When not writing, she might be found biking the riverfront trail, crafting, or working on some random DIY project. She has a lifelong fascination with Sasquatch, cryptozoology, and mysteries. While her world travels haven’t actually brought her face to face with mythological legends, she hasn’t given up hope. From biking through southern France and riding horse across Mongolia to exploring the Pacific North West, Rachael is a true adventurer with stories to tell.
Her book will be available for purchase at the event.

Pop-Cyclicle by Ron Evans @ Punch
2024-06-29 12:00 - 16:00, 2024-06-22 12:00 - 16:00, 2024-06-15 12:00 - 16:00 | Punch Projects, 10630 N Thorp Hwy, Thorp, WA, 98946, United States
Ron Evans
Pop-Cyclicle: Robots, rayguns & remnants from a time or place that likely never existed.

Ron Evans, a dynamic mixed-media artist rooted in East Wenatchee, is driven by an unwavering and inexplicable passion for robots, rayguns, pinup, mid-century design, and pop culture. While his artistic journey began with acrylic paintings and pen & ink illustrations, Evans has ventured into the realm of 3D artistry, crafting intricate sculptures from paper, wire and foamboard.
Within his creative philosophy, 1960s kitsch, nostalgic tacky motels, Saturday morning cartoons, and heavy metal album covers are elevated to the status of ‘fine art’. Evans strives to infuse his creations with both substance and a sense of approachability.
In 2015, Evans opened a tiny art gallery in his home called RadarStation. The success of these shows – focusing mostly on lowbrow street art and pop-surrealism – led to a downtown gallery/bar/venue which operated from 2017-2019. In 2017, Evans launched The Comet Magazine, an alternative local-centric arts and entertainment monthly which continues to grow in readership and coverage.
Pop-cyclicle showcases some of the investigations, interpretations and transgressions that occupy Evan’s creative mind. Please join us for the opening on Saturday, June 1, from noon until 4 pm with live music by the legendary Jumpin’ Johnny at 2-4pm in the PUNCH bar.

Upcoming Events on the PUNCH Stage:

6/01: Jumpin’ Johnny [acoustic jams from a legendary rocker], 2-4pm
6/08: Anjuman [classical indian/ afro-cuban fusion], 2-4pm
6/15: The Last of the Red Hot Mamas [jazz-inspired, country-sauced blues], 2-4pm
6/22: Randy Weeks and the Silent Treatment [soul/ americana/ roots rock], 2-4pm
6/29: Last Saturday!: DJ Grand Marshal, The Nightmares [punk /garage-rock], Datura [post punk/ goth rock ], 6-8pm
