Dive into the Kelp Forest: Photography and Painting Exhibition at Perspectives Space, Encinitas

by Jasmine Novack and Oriana Poindexter

Meet the artists at the Opening Reception

Friday, December 6th, from 5 to 8 pm

Echoes from the Kelp Forest, a collaborative art exhibition featuring photographer Oriana Poindexter and painter Jasmine Novack, is coming to Perspectives Space in Encinitas, California. Opening to the public on December 6, 2024, the exhibit explores the artists’ shared experiences in the kelp forests of the Pacific coast, from Seattle to San Diego, blending art and science to reflect the beauty and complexity of the ocean.

Oriana Poindexter, known for her life-sized photographic records of marine life, uses traditional and alternative photographic processes to capture the delicate balance of ocean ecosystems. A graduate of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Poindexter’s work immerses viewers in the beauty and fragility of marine biodiversity. Her work has been featured in Smithsonian Magazine, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal, and exhibited at the Oceanside Museum of Art, Laguna College of Art + Design, and the Birch Aquarium at Scripps.

Jasmine Novack is a self-taught painter and cold-water scuba diver from Seattle. Novack’s work draws from her personal explorations in the kelp forests of the Pacific Northwest. Her evocative paintings reflect the psychological connection between humans and the ocean’s darker, unexplored depths. A graduate of the University of Washington with a focus on marine science and environmental justice, Novack uses her art to challenge perceptions of the ocean as a place of fear, inviting viewers to confront the “darker parts” of both the sea and the self. Her work is represented in Washington by the Seattle Art Museum Gallery.

The exhibition also features collaborative works, where both artists merge their distinctive mediums, creating pieces that highlight their shared experiences. Echoes from the Kelp Forest offers a unique blend of photography and painting, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the depths of both the natural world and human experience.

About Andrew

I began attending this men’s group over 3 years ago after meeting and being invited by Justin Ternes, who formed the group. It wasn’t something that I sought out or was looking for, but it quickly became clear to me that it was something that I needed. 

This group has been a massive benefit in my life. It has improved my ability to feel and express my emotions, improved my relationships, and provided a community of brothers who I can rely on for support when things are tough and celebrate with when things are going well.

My work as a physical therapist specializing in pain has led me to seek out many different ideas, approaches, and modalities. It has helped me to view pain through many different lenses, and been a catalyst for me to face my own pain and suffering. I see my work in continuing the Legacy of this group as part of my larger mission to reduce human suffering, for others as well as for myself.

And while I am the current “leader” of the group, the group is really led by its members. I am simply here to try to help preserve the values and integrity of the group as it continues to naturally morph and change.

Just show up or text/call Andrew at (301) 514-2954 with any questions!

Full Moon Release

Sunday, August 18th

6:30pm-8:30pm

Meet your facilitator: Makayla is a 200hr Yoga Teacher through Sage Yoga Studios in Fallbrook and is passionate about creating sacred spaces for individuals to come home to themselves. Makayla felt so disconnected from herself for years after experiencing debilitating chronic pain following a work injury. Discovering yoga and primal movement saved her life! She recognizes and honors the medicine that movement, meditation, yoga, and breath work have to offer. Makayla feels most connected to Spirit and herself when incorporating these in her daily practices.

About the event: The Full Moon in August is especially powerful because it is a Supermoon! This means the moon is unusually close to Earth, making it appear extra bright and beautiful. Because we contain so much water in our body, the moon intensifies emotions and boosts energy; an opportune time to sit with our emotions, release, and manifest. 

This Full Moon Release incorporates deep meditation, yoga, primal movement/dance, breath work, and sacred journaling time. You don’t need to be a pro yogi or dancer to join, ANY BODY is welcome! Upon your arrival, we will do brief introductions followed by a guided meditation. You will set intentions for what you desire to release and what you want to bring into your life, then move energy with yoga, breath work, and primal movement/dance. We will close with journaling and commune in a gratitude circle. 

To maximize your experience, please bring the following:

•Yoga mat or blanket

•Water

•Journal+Writing Tool

•Pillow for meditation and release

•Wear comfy clothes to do movement in

•An open heart and mind

With Gratitude and Blessings,

Makayla

Exchange: Please send Venmo or bring cash.

7/31 - Week 2: Ask and Let Go (a lesson in trust and patience) 

Once we set our intention and make our request, we must give the Universe time and space to make it happen. In a fast-paced world where we expect to receive what we ordered immediately, this is especially difficult. Francesca gives tips and tools for letting go and bringing trust and patience into your practice.

Adult Art Lab

Life  is complicated and the more and more we consume and don’t take time to create and express… the more and more we move farther away from ‘feeling better’.

Why?…because we need to learn how to FEEL TO FEEL BETTER!

This is one of the main reasons I created ADULT ART LAB! My name is Robin Rene Burgin and I am a Somatic + Sensorimotor Art Therapy Practitioner. It is my mission to change how ADULTS experience ART! 

I am excited to tell you more about ADULT ART LAB! 

ADULT ART LAB is a weekly class that is designed to transport you back to a time of childlike wonder. Where, you are free to express yourself, let loose and let go of all your daily pressures. AND JUST BE without expectation.

ADULT ART LAB is built on the foundations of Sensorimotor Art Therapy®, Somatic Experiencing® and Neuroscience. Through art we will be curious, explore and learn about ourselves and what we hold inside.

Here, you simply get to BE AND DETACH FROM THE MONOTONY OF THE DAY TO DAY ADULTING AND be transported into a whole different realm of creativity and play that you haven't experienced since you were a child.

Which will allow you to release the pent up stress, overwhelm, and anxieties of daily life or begin to release the bracing, holding and grief from past lived experiences that may be leaving you feeling helpless, hopeless and isolated. 

ADULT ART LAB is an environment that you can come to and drop all of that at the door and explore your felt sense with a professional who will hold space for you to creatively express yourself. Forget the pressure of creating a finished product or artistic perfection. Here, the focus is on the journey of exploration itself. Through various artistic mediums, be it painting, drawing, sculpture, collage or even poetry– you'll be guided to tap into your emotions and experiences, even those hidden from your conscious mind.

Each week you will be given a new creative practice to explore. No artistic skills needed! Only curiosity!

About Alex

Alex Hussain leads the Encinitas Men's Group, a space for men to connect with ourselves and with other men, to be real, to express how we feel, to be celebrated when we're high and to be supported when we're low.

Alex has been on his own journey of self-discovery and developing authentic connections with others, leading various groups from entrepreneurs to people healing from trauma. His style of facilitating includes being present as a fellow participant, being willing to share authentically first, and making space for others to be able to fully bring their real selves.

Magical Messages

Thursday, June 27th

6-7:45 pm

Class Description:

I will start the session with a meditation for grounding and relaxation. I will then open up the channel to the Other Side and begin delivering magical messages from Spirit, the Angels, or even your Higher Self for healing, growth, and moving forward. I will give as many Readings as time allows, but not everyone may receive a Reading. Often Spirit brings multiple people together who will need to receive similar messages. I will then end the session with a short Q&A before thanking Spirit for bringing through the messages that were needed.

I believe that we are all always surrounded by Angels, Spirits and loved ones on the other side and that during a session, only the ones with messages for healing will step forward. These messages can come through as words, sentences, symbols, images, or feelings. Although not all attendees will receive messages, we know that these messages have the power to bring healing to all those who listen. 

I would be honored to channel Spirit for you!

Artist/Medium Bio

Francesca Bandino is a Psychic Medium, Fine Artist, Energy Healer, and Spiritual Teacher.

In her work as a Medium, Francesca brings through messages from the other side for healing and guidance to help you move forward in this lifetime. She does this by communicating with loved ones who have passed, the Angels, your Spirit Team, the Ascended Masters, and your Higher Self. 

Francesca considers herself a painter of feelings. She uses energetic movement and visible brush strokes to express her emotions and points of view, no matter what she paints. She feels the presence of Angels who often guide her through her creations. Her use of color is assertive and joyful.  

Francesca’s mission is to help her clients continue their journey of healing and growth through her Spiritual work and her artwork. She wants those who work with her to know that we are never alone. We will always be guided and supported when we ask for help. Francesca began to show and sell her paintings in 2017 and started to have solo exhibitions in 2018. She then began the work of Medium and Energy Healer in 2020.

Francesca was born in Sardinia, Italy and raised in New Jersey. At the end of 2021 she drove across the country to settle in San Diego, CA. Francesca's objective was to be in the place that inspired so many of her paintings and continue the flow of beautiful creations.
