We Three Moms here at The Blissful Soul!

We have some great gifts for you, your mother, wife, grandmother, and every other Awesome Woman in Your Life. We have gifts of music (Peggy Baldwin's Melt- In- Your-Arms CD), gifts of simple beauty (Willow Tree figurines) and gifts of simple indulgence (Chocolate Decadence soap). Gift certificates for astrology and psychic readings are also available. We gift wrap every purchase for free.

You can also treat Mom to a free concert on Saturday evening with the ethereal, blissful music of Aurah whose music has been featured on numerous television shows like Sex in the City. Bring the Magnificent Woman in your life for a relaxing evening of music under the stars (-- for free)!

Flower Fairy
If you love whimsical artwork, you'll love local artist Rae Maestri Smith's depicition of fairies in various 3D forms. Rae is the first local artist to be featured in our new SOLA (Support Our Local Artists) series. Rae combines her passion for photography with her love of fairies to create her own unique works of art, each deisgned with a whimsical, magical flair.

Rae attirbutes her success to her experience with color and texture with the fashion industry, both as a runway model and a clothing specialist at Nordstrom's.

Pixies, mermen (yes, that's mermen), butterfly, flower and water fairies adorn her creations, mounted on painted boxes, cards and t-shirts. Each piece has been cleared, blessed and hand written tag describing the fairies depicted. Whether you want to wear your love for fairies on your chest or more privately, we have a most unique collection of whimsical artwork by our own local artist, Rae Maestri Smith, here at The Blissful Soul. Great gift ideas for moms and grandmothers!
Aurah Photo
Aurah will perform on Saturday, May 13 from 7 to 9 pm for free! Even if you don't recognize the name, you've probably heard Aurah's music. It has been featured on numerous television shows, including Sex in the City, Felicity, Judging Amy, Angel, Chicago Hope, and many more. Aurah has just finished scoring a full-length film, Loving Annabelle.

Press for Aurah: "Aurah has bridged whatever gap remained between pop and electronica music.Their laid back blend of lite melody and night charm have landed them at the top of the heap." MusicDish.com

"Aurah frees the imagination by interweaving lavish vocal textures and insightful lyrics with scintillating sound layers and exotic accents from around the world." Nexus magazine.

Aurah is definitely on the way up. Don't miss this chance to hear them for free. It could be your last! This concert is the night before Mother's Day. We'll be closed on Mother's Day, so bring Mom by for a day-early early surprise.
Bridge
The Sacred Space event with Stan Smith was such a success, that we immediately booked him for another session. A dozen people brought sacred items that were assembled into a tapestry of altars on our parking lot. What a change from the usual dusty blacktop.

On Saturday, June 3rd at 2pm, Stan will focus the demonstration how altars connect us to each other and to our urban environement. Come create your own bit of sacred space in our urban environment! This event is $20 RSVP recommended.
Dance
Sara Eaglewoman will bring sacred Native American ceremony to The Blissful Soul on Sunday, May 21st at 1pm. Sara Eaglewoman says this dance was given to her by her Great-Grandmother. She passed this sacred dance to Sara, saying that when the tribe was getting too off balanced and out of connection with Great Spirit.

If you're feeling out of balance and disconnected from your Great Spirit, come learn the dance created to:
  • create wholeness to oneself and to the community
  • transform the dark to light.
  • dance with our Ancestors, animal totems, angels, spirit guides, the divine deities.
  • celebrate all the joy,light and wisdom that has transpired.

Sara Eaglewoman brings Native American spirituality to the urban scene. Join us for this extraordinary dance with the Great Spirit on Sunday, May 21st. Cost of this event is $25 Call to RSVP and we'll tell you what you need to bring for the ceremony.
Please note that we will be closed on Sunday, May 14, so that we can celebrate Mother's Day with our families.

The lovely month of May is the time to give thanks and honor our the magnificent women in our lives, the lovely colors of spring flowers and...yes, our wetland environments. Although our area may be semi-arid, consider adding a backyard fountain or birdbath. Our feathered neighbors will thank you all hot summer long!
