Community Connections

If one sells or buys real estate it's all about location, location, location.
If one offers healing it's all about community, community, community -
and our connections with each other.

The Skystone story begins with and continues along the story of community. How do we connect? Who tells the story we carry in our lives? What role does community play? How do we define community? How do we stay healthy as individuals and as a community?

Skystone (another name for turquoise or any blue/green stone) provides a most fitting name for our healing arts center. The story of how skystone came about teaches us: respect for nature; relationship with Spirit; trusting in abundance; and honoring ourselves and others.

We understand that people are, by nature, community oriented. Our health and wellbeing comes from a balanced sense of community. This holds so many applications. Skystone creates a safe and sacred space for healing your mind, body and spirit.

The Community within Us

The connection between our muscles, fascia, joints, nerves, ..... sometimes needs help in finding balance. Water is key. Water is the vehicle through which nutrients get distributed and waste gets collected and processed. Water lubricates, eases, & transforms. Bodywork (Bowenwork, Massage, BodyListening, Intuitive Healing, Reiki, Sports massage) not only physically and energetically eases tight, sore or adhered tissue - it also helps facilitate hydration and a return to health. (We'll do an entire entry on the importance and beauty of water very soon.)
Different aspects of our lives, our personalities, our dreams and desires create a sort of community. This community of self requires balance. Often we negotiate this balance without much conscious thought. Sometimes we need the assistance of a friend, a class, a professional Healer or simply a walk in a natural setting to get perspective. We're hosting a dream circle in the very near future.

The Community around Us

Looking outside ourselves we find a lot of influences and allies. Whether we look to the Stars, Angels, rivers and/or people. At Skystone we honor all paths and actively support the community in as many ways as we can from being green to supporting local artists.
The First Friday Art Walk (in downtown Ellensburg) allows us to host local artists and craftsmen. Each month we feature a show in our main gallery. Our Gifts of Spirit Gallery offers gifts & treasures year round - including jewelry, leather art, traditional Cherokee art, note cards, photography, collage and more. We also carry Linda Larsen's line of Purity Soapworks (soaps, lotions, salts, lip balm, muscle rub..). Coming soon Skystone's own Elemental Escents. All our items are chosen because they are handmade and in some way - feed the spirit.

Join us at a First Friday Art Walk - next one is June 5th, 5 - around 8PM. We feature musical artists beginning at 6:30 PM. Or just stop by our galleries Tues - Sat 11AM - 4PM. 219 West 3rd Ave, Ellensburg, WA. 509-925-4533.
