SUMMARY:Art Exhibition: Women Real and Imagined
DESCRIPTION:Open hours: Monday – Friday 8:30 to 4:30\, Saturday & Sunday 10:00am to 2:00pm. \nContinuing through September 30. Exhibition of paintings by Janda Grove\, expat artist. This show features “Women: Real and Imagined.” Paintings of women from life or from photographs in small and medium formats\, from California days and from Ecuador. Also\, imagined expressions of women as reverent beings\, walking through the passages of life. Some works are playful\, others more serious. All are original oil paintings created with beautiful color harmonies. Is beauty now an act of rebellion in modern art? Do we need beauty – now more than ever? Are we that beauty? \nA woman painting women. Reaching inward to find the essence of the many faceted feminine\, and the sisterly love and support that holds our families and communities together. An honoring of the strong and tender women who have helped me walk my path through this life. \nNot big\, not shocking\, not all bright colors\, not sofa size. \nContact: grovejanda@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Killa Raymi: A Sacred Pause Under the Full Moon
DESCRIPTION:There are moments in the year that invite us to stop long enough to listen. \nKilla Raymi\, the September celebration of Mama Killa— the Moon —arrives around the equinox\, a threshold of balance: light and darkness\, masculine and feminine\, what is ending and what is beginning. \nIn the Andean agricultural calendar\, this is also a time of sowing. \nSeeds are placed into the earth and entrusted to Pachamama\, to water\, time\, weather and care. \nPerhaps something in your own life is asking for that same attention. \n– What are you ready to plant now?\n– What deserves to be nourished through the final months of the year? \nOn Saturday\, September 26\, Casa Aguacolla will gather in Sígsig for an intimate Killa Raymi/ Full Moon ceremony— a day to leave the noise behind\, return to nature and the elements\, and make space for intention. \n🌵 Community San Pedro/ Huachuma ceremony\n🌿 Meditative walk to the Huallil waterfall\n🌎 Collective healing with the four elements\n🌙 Altar and offering to Mama Killa\n🌕 Full Moon Temazcal \nWe’ll gather from mid-morning into the evening. Overnight stay is encouraged\, allowing the experience to close slowly. \nTransportation from Cuenca is not included\, though we can help explore shared rides and bus options. \nOptional somatic integration support is available afterward for those who would like help carrying the experience into everyday life. \nSmall gathering • Limited spaces \nIf this feels like the kind of pause you need\, message Casa Aguacolla for details\, preparation information and reciprocity.
