Santosha hosts spring community cleanse

Rejuvenate with whole foods detox
By Callie Stolz Santosha Wellness Center
Spring is in the air! It’s that time of year again to rejuvenate, refresh and renew.
Santosha Wellness Center is hosting a seven- or 14-day whole foods cleanse in early May for the community. This is not about starvation and deprivation; it’s about a healthy detox, eating whole foods and being good to yourself. It’s an opportunity to reboot and reset your digestive system.
Around here we often call the spring “mud season,” whereas in an Ayurvedic perspective – which is a system of traditional Indian medicine – it’s called the Kapha season. Spring has qualities of Earth and water, as does the Kapha dosha – one of three bodily humors that make up one’s constitution, according to Ayurveda.
This is a time in which our world begins to thaw from winter. Just as the Earth tends to hold onto a bit more water during this time, so do our bodies. We tend to have excess mucus in our respiratory and digestive tracks, and may end up getting wet colds or have allergies during this season, and generally just feel a bit more sluggish and heavy.
Ayurveda’s answer to this is to detoxify our bodies. By shifting our diets as the season shifts, eating drier and lighter foods, we naturally begin the detoxification process. Our bodies are built to detoxify us every day; however, as our world becomes more processed and toxic and our stress levels rise, it’s increasingly difficult for our bodies to do the necessary work. As toxins build up, we become susceptible to a depressed immune system and disease.
An effort in spring cleaning can be a great way to work towards a healthy, happier you. You can do this by consciously eating seasonal whole foods and Ayurvedic cleansing foods, as well as taking certain herbs to reboot your digestive system, release addictions and unhealthy patterns, and start fresh.

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.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
$170.
