Beginning October 12th 2019, Bowen Fables is a six-week community arts project in partnership with Bowen Island Museum and Archives and Island Pacific School. These all-ages workshops will facilitate the creation of short films celebrating the history and local culture of Bowen Island.
Using the Bowen Island archives as a starting point, workshop participants will select an image to base their scenes on. Participants will work in teams to develop and create short shadow-puppet films inspired by life on Bowen Island. Each workshop will focus on a different aspect of the storytelling and art-making process. Participants will watch short films, learn through short demonstration-based classes and engage in hands-on experimentation.
• Week 1: archives, image selection and story-telling.
• Week 2: setting, mood, set-building and theatre creation.
• Week 3: character development, puppet making.
• Week 4: puppet articulation, collaboration, story-boarding.
• Week 5: rehearsal, feedback, story-editing.
• Week 6: rehearsal, shooting.
The workshops will teach participants the essentials of visual storytelling, story-setting, character creation, the mechanics of building and animating a puppet, understanding the elements of composition, understanding positive and negative space and developing creative processes. Of equal importance to the creative and collaboration skills, is the fostering of community ties by encouraging collaboration between generations and encouraging participants to become active stewards and creators of Bowen Island’s local culture.
There will be a presentation of the films once completed. Date and location to be announced in the near future.
If you’re visiting Bowen Island with youth aged between 12 – 16 and they’re complaining “there’s nothing to do,” send them to the Bowen Island Youth Centre to hang with other like-minded teens.

Looking forward to chanting our hearts open together with you. The joy of singing in community is healing.

The Path to Inner Stillness • December 6, 7:30 PM – December 8, 3 PM
With your voice as your guide and your body as your instrument, find stillness within movement, silence within sound, during this weekend of TaKeTiNa rhythm meditation. Located in a natural setting on beautiful Bowen Island, “The Path to Inner Stillness” will give you all the space you need to explore your own relationship with rhythm. There is no musical or rhythmical experience required. All you need is a curious mind and a willingness to be open to the unexpected.
The fee is on a sliding scale from $195 to $395. Accommodation and meals (Saturday breakfast through Sunday lunch) are included. If money is an issue please talk to us about payment plans. Don’t let money be the thing that stops you from giving yourself the gift of this inner journey.
To register, email Shasta. Payment may be made either by cheque or e-transfer.

A two-hour healing Yin class with Harmony Davidson. The focus is to help liberate ourselves from long-held limiting patterns in the body and to help direct healing energy outward to all living beings.
These deeply restorative classes will focus on slow, long held postures to connect and open, and promote healing within the body. Woven into the classes will be Harmony’s passion for the planet and environmental sustainability. Each session will be an exploration into ways we can be less wasteful, and learn to live from our souls rather than from our pain.
