This past Tuesday, the 16th, was an exciting night at the gallery. Not only did Mother Nature bless us with a delicate and fantastical snowfall as beautiful as any princess's dream, the Albany Spiritual Seekers blessed the space with their presence and brought along some special guests for the evening: James Etsitty, Jr., a traditional Navajo Medicine Man (accompanied by his brother) and Award-winning Filmmaker, Fidel Moreno, who screened a film in which he produced and directed.
The evening included discussions/conversations/questions on "life purpose, soul contract, love and partnership" which were conducted in a traditional talking circle (a beautifully hand-crafted cane was passed to each person and when they held the cane, it was at that time they could ask a question or make a statement - everyone was courteous and no one spoke out of turn). In addition, the brothers drummed one of their Navajo prayers/songs and it was AWESOME!!
There was a tiny "marketplace" in which original jewelry, books, cds and other lovelies were sold.
Snacks, cider and coffee were served, but mostly, the serving of positive energy was, truly, the fulfilling meal.
Take pleasure in the pics and vids that follow:
