Meet Anthony

Anthony Ross  has been reading Tarot since 2018, dancing since 2015, and drawing since he could move his hands. He is an artist at heart, and a soul-seeker by design. At age 20, he discovered Vipassana meditation and followed a serious meditation practice for many years which eventually lead him into other somatic-based explorations, including Contact Improvisation, Feldenkrais, and various forms of Ecstatic Dance. With a continual curiosity in spirituality, learning from different mentors and healers, he apprenticed under a master Tarot reader to learn the magic of the cards. A few years earlier, he’d found the ideal art school to study his craft of drawing and painting, continuing his first passion to create fantastic visual art. Anthony continues to be multi-passionate, and a lover of depth, beauty, and wisdom. Ora is truly lucky to invite his gifts into the space!

Contact Improvisation Dance for beginners

Contact Improvisation is a Somatic form of dance. The workshops involve an opportunity to bring new awareness to one’s movement and sense of self. By connecting with ourselves, we can better connect to our first partner (the ground) and our second partner (the person we’re dancing with). We’ll explore our attention, our distribution of weight, our level of relaxation, and the impact of stillness and motion on our inner and outer worlds. The workshops include a time to jam (dancing with others in a free-flowing way) as well as establishing the skills of movement and self-awareness that allow us to express ourselves within the dance in a safe and fun way. https://contactimprovblog.com/what-is-contact-improvisation/

Drawing for Beginners - Focused on portraits and figures

We will cover various principles and techniques employed in creating realistic, three-dimensional drawings with a focus on the fundamentals and how they apply to portrait and figurative art. You will receive hands-on instruction with tracing paper so that you see directly over top of your own drawing what you can improve and you can use that as a visual guide. There will be lots of verbal instruction, time to watch the teacher demonstrate, and material to draw from. Each class will build on the skills of the previous classes as learning to draw requires repetition and practice. However, you’re welcome to drop in to any class without attending the previous ones. These lessons are suitable for beginners and more advanced artists, supporting you at whatever level you’re at. It is recommended to bring your favorite materials to draw on and with, yet there will be some available if you don’t have access to your own.

Tarot Reading

Tarot readings are a powerful healing modality able to address any question, desire, or life theme. The cards act as a guiding light into ourselves, providing a journey of self-realization as we move unconsciousness into consciousness. Readings are one hour in length, held in a safe, nurturing space that invites emotional depth, honesty, and reflection on what is important for us to address at this time. Readings are an intuitive and creative process that involve channeled wisdom, feeling, and symbolism in support of inner growth and expanded joy.
