The Barn stands as a beacon of light offering sacred healing sessions and space for healers to help nourish and nurture people during these dark and uncertain times. The Body Art Barn is the result of owner and creator Michelle Dawson’s deep exploration and articulation of the ancient Vedic Arts. Fifteen years of traveling as a working artist landed her on the black dirt in Chester, New York in September of 2011. It was here that she planted herself almost permanently. Her little studio was the first studio in Orange County to offer Aerial Yoga. The art-form and her articulation was so well received, she outgrew her sweet little space and became part of the epic renovation of the 200 year old Sears Barn on route 94 in Blooming Grove, New York. Since her opening there in 2014, she has singlehandedly refurbished 4000 square feet of the Barn to create a Holy, healing temple. Offering Yoga classes, Aerial Yoga classes, and Pole Dancing, the myriad of services offered at The Body Art Barn are down to Earth, highly accessible, affordable, and really fun! You have to see it to believe it. This space is something very special. As a multifaceted facility, The Body Art Barn is now a Healing Cooperative that hosts space for healing and training sessions.

Wondering if this guy was a Spirit from Beyond that visited us for just a short time or will he be back 💭💭💭💭🪽🪽💭💭💭💭
Reminds me of this famous poem
Love Dogs

One night a man was crying,
“Allah, Allah!”
His lips grew sweet with the praising,
until a cynic said,
“So! I have heard you
calling out, but have you ever
gotten any response?”
The man had no answer for that.
He quit praying and fell into a confused sleep.
He dreamed he saw Khidr, the guide of souls,
in a thick, green foliage,
“Why did you stop praising?”
“Because I’ve never heard anything back.”
“This longing you express
is the return message.”
The grief you cry out from
draws you toward union.
Your pure sadness that wants help
is the secret cup.
Listen to the moan of a dog for its master.
That whining is the connection.
There are love dogs no one knows the names of.
Give your life to be one of them.
Rumi

How it started 👉🏽 How it ended 🌈🪽🫶🏽
Yesterday, I pulled into at Spirit Thirty as I often do.🕟🕉️👌🏽
It had been raining so heavily all day and I was feeling a kind of way.
When I parked I paused…..
I loved the way the rain on my windsheild made the Barn look like a watercolor painting.
I knew while in the space, I would be visited by a Rainbow even though no signs pointed toward the rain ending any time soon.
For ten mystical moments, the sky lit up 🌈🌈🌈
and I paused again..
Stevie Nicks was chanting “taken by , taken by the sky “
And I just thought ,
‘Right on Time baby
Right on Time.’
Miracles are natural.
The upper world is near and dear.
Happy Halloween
Xo,
Michelle

The word Abracadabra is derived from the phrase Avra kehda bra, and translates to “I will create as I speak.” This phrase highlights the powerful connection between our words and the reality we manifest……👁️‍🗨️🕉️💯✔️🪽💭
