The Story of Stuff
08/10/09 11:02 Filed in: sustainability
One of the reasons I am so passionate about helping people get organized, is so that they can clearly see their 'stuff', take inventory, and encourage less consumption while installing systems for recycling and re-use. It is a matter of living well, living in respect of the resources of the Earth, and taking a step out of the way of media that would have us continuously buying obsolete & disposable goods. I am excited to have found THE STORY OF STUFF, a 20 minute video that helps to really clarify and crystallize how linear the system of production/consummerism is, and how we can make it more sustainable, through good old reducing, re-using, and recycling! Following the video, are 10 action steps to support changing our culture toward more local economies, with people empowered to know their purchases have power and impact. Thanks to Rae, founder of PDX Swap [clothing exchange for women and men] for sharing this with me!

Happy Autumn ya'll!
There are some exciting things going on at Soma Arts Lounge! Grab some tea, play this song, and read on!
I am offering Holistic Personal Training and Sustainable Space Organizing services, wellness coaching that addresses the inner and outer layers of being, with an autumnal focus on abundance, planning, going within,gratitude, and planting long term seed goals. My long term vision includes expanding my essential oil creations, with the development of a private label I plan to launch next spring. I am very excited about this! I welcome new clients at this time, and I am eager to support your visions!
Soma Arts Lounge will be raffling off services and products at the next Indulge Events PDX on Sunday, October 25th, 12-4pm @ ALU wine bar. This is a great opportunity to check out local, female owned business!
Starting October 20th, I will be teaching the level one pole dancing class at Primal Beginnings. I am honored to be sharing the joy and body bliss of these teachings. Please check out the upcoming Sample Class, on Monday October 12th @ 7:30 pm if your are curious! November will bring the return of Jamercise, full body conditioning, also at Primal Beginnings, starting November 9th from 5:30-6:30. This will be a weekly drop-in class [$10]. As Primal Beginnings' 'officer Jamie', I am booking workshops which will launch in November as well. If you know anyone looking for weekend workshop or event space, direct them to me! Those interested in teaching weekly classes, M-F, may contact PB's owner, Amy.
I would like to give a high five to VIVA LAS VEGAS for her amazing book Magic Gardens-The Memoirs of Viva Las Vegas. Her book release is TONIGHT at Dante's @ 7:30, sure to be a fun filled evening. You can also find her about town promoting Breast Cancer Awareness, rocking out as Coco Cobra, and in general, being amazing.
