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.

I was too immersed in the experience and I only recorded a third of the show but we’ve archived stories and saved them in the highlights so hopefully we have a little footage of everyone somewhere in this portal!
Stay tuned for a save the date for our next Showcase and start thinking about your performance because we definitely want to see your work!
