“If we’re not creating something, we’re fixing something, including ourselves. It’s vitally important for our soul’s expression to keep the doors to creativity open. If we’re not lit up and living a big life, then we are just treading water and the people around us will reflect our own misery.” ~ Neika

She can’t live out in the open forever, on stage or in the lime light open to all eyes and every public opinion.
No, a must dig down into herself in certain seasons of life to discover what lives there in the silence and curate that for her soul’s delight.
A woman must go away at times to travel and to be alone. To stop her doingness in order to nurture her beingness. A woman must dream and search the sky for her own truth. She must feel and divine the fuse that fuels the flower’s bloom.
A woman must dwell in the long tones of her own voice.
A woman must stop and stop and stop again to survey her own landscape and map her way forward. She must walk to the secret cliff where bees drip their honeycomb from ancient limestone crags and wild pigs root under the massive tree canopy at midnight.
A woman must breathe and sigh and empty. Then pause to dream some more before moving to give to her visions with words, colors, shapes, music and sound.
She must scan the horizon of her own soul, following music that only she can hear in order to hold sacred the one clear pebble of truth she finds there.

Sierra Art Trails 2025 – Open Studio and Gallery
Our humanity is expressed through the arts. Art is an illusion that points to a greater reality. Such as Life is an illusion that points to a greater reality.
Life is filled with infinite sources of inspiration. These works on paper are some examples of what inspires me to share and connect with you through art. Viewer response is part of the Life of a piece. It is what happens when art comes out of the studio and is offered for people to view.
I find it interesting to listen to what you see and feel when you pause to take in what is in front of your eyes. For me, this adds to the creation, and the greater reality begins to be revealed. I am grateful for this opportunity to connect and discover with you.
Friday, Saturday, & Sunday
October 10, 11 & 12 – 10am to 5pm. Open studio, gallery and grounds, entitled:

“Awareness seems to be nowhere because it is everywhere. It seems to be nothing because it is everything.” ~ Rupert Spira
Source: Awareness
” is the disentangling of awareness from it’s own activity.”
~ Rupert Spira
The Third Quarter of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali describes the second stage of Enlightenment; Exalted Consciousness. There are no techniques in the book to accomplish this. The Third Quarter is a treatise on the mechanics of this growth; it is not a how-to manual. I have found the Yoga Sutras to be a “road map” of the stages of human consciousness. Nothing will replace the power of direct embodied experience.
Samyamah is a process which is described by the Sages as “the Bestower of Union”. The qualities of Focus, Resonance, and Stabilized Enlightened Consciousness -together -carry human consciousness to Exalted Consciousness and Unified Consciousness.
The Technique of Samyamah is given by a Sage to her student at the point when the student arrives in Stabilized Ascendent Consciousness. The giving of Samyamah is an in -person event. It is passed on from one open heart to another – energetically and with resonance and focus. If the student has not stabilized Ascendent Consciousness, this technique is a waste of time and can actually have the opposite effect. It is the relationship of the Mastery Teacher and her student that discovers the timing together.
Samyamah is then applied to various objects for the purpose of stabilizing Exalted Consciousness and Unified Consciousness.
There is always more……..
