A Celebration of Art, Music, and Wellness — On October 4th, from 6-8 p.m. Hawthorn Healing Arts Center invites you to an unforgettable evening for the October First Friday Art Walk. This event will be a unique blend of art, music, and community, bringing together creativity, and the warmth of connection.

We’re thrilled to present The Bend Bhakti Collective Band as our special guest musicians for the evening. This talented ensemble brings the practice of Bhakti yoga to life through the power of music. Known as the yoga of loving devotion, Bhakti is expressed through chanting and song, creating a spiritual connection to the Divine. With their unique fusion of traditional Indian music and Western influences, their performance offers a captivating and participatory experience through Call and Response chanting. Expect to tap your toes, lift your voice, and be immersed in this heart-opening offering.

Our featured artist, Scott Dyer, showcases stunning works that capture the natural beauty of Central Oregon. From oil to watercolor, Scott’s art is deeply influenced by master painters like John Singer Sargent and Joaquin Sorolla. Through his work, Scott seeks to capture fleeting moments of poetry and emotion, offering viewers an intimate connection to the natural world. Each piece on display represents a journey in artistic growth and a pursuit of perfection in balancing technique and feeling.
