“Viewpoint”&nbsp;brings together the distinct artistic lenses of Brian Jensen and Mary Meuwissen to explore how we perceive our surroundings.&nbsp;Jensen offers a viewpoint rooted in clarity and memory—his precision-based acrylics on wood capture the iconic beauty of Minnesota’s landscapes and lakes with a storyteller’s eye. In contrast, Meuwissen offers a viewpoint from within. Her abstract, luminous layers of oil and wax paintings strip away the literal to reveal the emotional essence of a place. When looking at her pieces, you witness the joyful shifting of energy in nature.&nbsp; Exhibit runs May 20 thru July 20th. And meet the artists on May 31 from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. Please visit the website for ticketing details.

Bringing together three distinct voices, “Radiant Flow” celebrates the movement between nature, tradition, and modern expression. This exhibition explores how light and energy transition across different surfaces.&nbsp;Patty MacHalec’s plein-air style multimedia canvases display a classic depth.

Jane Johnson's contemporary paintings vibrantly capture the fluid, ever-changing nature of the world around us. Together, these artists invite you to witness the "flow" that connects the tactile world with the human spirit. Exhibit runs June 19 thru August 19. And the Meet the Artists date: June 19.

Promoting Wellness Through Our Wellness Retreats 

AnnapurnaBlue Health and Wellness 

AnnapurnaBlue Health &amp; Wellness: A Sanctuary for Renewal AnnapurnaBlue Health &amp; Wellness was created from a simple yet powerful belief: that true healing happens when we care for the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Founded by Deborah Peteler, AnnapurnaBlue offers transformative wellness retreats and programs designed for individuals navigating life transitions, health challenges, emotional overwhelm, and personal reinvention. With over 30 years of experience in trauma-informed care and holistic wellness practices, Deborah blends ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic approaches to create safe, supportive environments where real healing can take place. Our retreats — held both locally in Minnesota and internationally — are intentionally designed to help participants slow down, reflect, and reconnect with themselves. Through gentle Qigong movement, meditation, sound healing, breathwork, mindset sessions, and meaningful group dialogue, participants gain tools to manage stress, navigate change, and build emotional resilience. AnnapurnaBlue is especially supportive of women ages 35–70+ navigating grief, life-altering illness, menopause, empty nesting, career transitions, and other profound shifts. We believe these seasons of life are not endings — they are powerful invitations to rise. Our programs are inclusive, nurturing, and deeply respectful of each individual’s journey. Many participants leave feeling restored, empowered, and connected — not only to themselves, but to a supportive community of like-minded individuals. Whether someone is seeking healing, clarity, rest, or renewal, AnnapurnaBlue provides a sacred pause from the noise of daily life and an opportunity to move forward with intention. To learn more about upcoming retreats and programs, visit annapurnabluewellness.com We are grateful to be part of this community and honored to support the well-being of our neighbors.
