If you weren’t doing this, what would you do instead?
I love what I’m doing, but I’d like to get back into guiding adventure retreats, and incorporate it with wellness.
Callie Stolz discovered the alternative healing arts when she survived a battle with cancer many years ago.
“During those challenging times, I learned about the importance of alternative healing methods and complimentary healing modalities,” Stolz said. “My dream was to offer a place that gives other people the option to find a healing path that feels right.”
Stolz found her way from the northern Midwest to Big Sky in 1996. After years working as a snowboard and yoga instructor and a massage thereapist, she opened Santosha Wellness Center in 2012.
The business has grown steadily since, and its services now include massage, yoga instruction, Ayurvedic counseling, chiropractic, acupuncture, meditation, dance, Pilates, cranial sacral therapy and kids programs.
Stolz has studied yoga and Ayurveda in India, Thai massage in Thailand, and attended a number of yoga teacher trainings and workshops in the past decade. But she is a reluctant entrepreneur.
“Sometimes I think the spectrum between the healing arts and business couldn’t be farther apart,” she said.
She knows however, she must also focus on that aspect for Santosha to thrive, and is attending the Prospera Business Network’s Women Entrepreneur Leadership Mentoring series in Bozeman this spring.
And Stolz believes a thriving Santosha is a thriving Big Sky.
“My goal in opening up this place was to create a positive place for growth and for healing, and for inspiring others to be all that they can be.” – Emily Wolfe

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
