Feb 5, Mayne Island: figure drawing class at Creative Café - MIALS 

“Mood-Expressing Figure Drawing Class”
Overview: We are excited to invite the Mayne Island Assisted Living Society (MIALS) community to a unique and engaging art experience led by Susheela Kundargi. This fun and dynamic drawing class will explore a creative departure from traditional figure drawing by focusing on how to capture moods, emotions, and feelings through the human form.
Participants will explore dynamic poses instead of a static model and incorporate tools and techniques that evoke various emotional responses. Using a variety of materials such as pencils, charcoal, chalk, and felts, attendees will be encouraged to express themselves freely and explore new ways of seeing and drawing the human figure. The session will emphasize creativity, self-expression, and mood rather than perfect anatomical accuracy.

bison tallow salves - 2oz/15ml plastic amber jars
Tallow is a natural fat derived from the fatty tissues of bison (in this case). It has exceptional moisturizing and restorative properties and is rich in vitamins A, D, and E, and essential fatty acids. Bison tallow* is used in our salves to deeply nourish and protect the skin.

Our three types of bison tallow salves offer a unique combination of traditional care and environmentally friendly ingredients. They provide practical solutions for various skin issues so you can feel confident and comfortable.  

**We have created a new formulation that is creamier and more therapeutic for healing the skin. We have added some organic castor oil and increased the amount of our essential oils.**

  1. The Aloe-Rosehip salve is a soothing and repairing balm for irritated skin. Its natural formulation effectively reduces redness and promotes healing, providing an ideal solution for everyday skin issues. This blend provides relief and comfort. 

  2. We have a NEW combination! Frankincense and Sandalwood. This mix is especially rejuvenating for the face and neck.

  3. Lastly, our Calendula-Chamomile salve is specifically formulated to address areas of extreme dryness, restore moisture, and protect the skin.
    ​
When we say that we try to use every part of the animal, we really mean it. Our commitment to sustainability and ethical practices is reflected in every jar of our bison tallow salves, making you appreciate the value and care that goes into each product.

*For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not use on broken or infected skin. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition, consult a physician before use.

We acknowledge that we live, work, and play on the stolen, ancestral and traditional territories of the Straits Salish peoples on the Island called S,ḴŦAḴ in SENĆOŦEN, the language of the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. 

The name "Tsi Tesakotitsén:tha” was given to us by a Tuscarora Elder who has known Susheela since 1986 in Kahnawake (Kanien’kehá:ka Mohawk territory) and suggested we create the space for “The Place That Heals You”. The Kanien'kehá:ka spelling was provided to us by a dear friend who still lives in Kahnawake. We are honoured to use the name and would also welcome a SENĆOŦEN translation of the name to respect the land we’re on and the language of the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples.
