Wisdom Keepers Class to be announced in the Fall
Specialists
Kindergarten & Art: Erin Vega
Getting my first sketch book at a young age gave me an amazing gift: the ability to express myself through my creativity. I grew up in Fairfield while attending school at MSAE. I took every available art class in town, becoming most passionate about painting! I love working with pencil, pen, and charcoal as well. I also enjoy improvising with random materials, crocheting, and sewing. I attended SBCC in California, studying design, figure drawing, oil painting, and pottery. I believe art is about making beautiful mistakes that we can learn through practice, experimentation, and a strong foundation in art fundamentals. I think learning about the history of art and the artists of our time can be very inspiring as well.
Health & Wellness: Sofia Adams, ND
Sofia Adams, ND
As a naturopathic doctor, I utilize the laws of nature in assessing health—mind, body, and spirit. I enjoy educating individuals on how to live a more nature-inspired life, and guiding them towards ease, not dis-ease. My philosophy: We are self-healing, self-regulating beings that are in constant adaptation to our internal and external environment; therefore, it is crucial that we understand the factors that are influencing our health so that we may be better equipped to handle stressors and improve our overall vitality! Building a healthy lifestyle isn’t done overnight—it is made one choice at a time with grace and patience. Learning what nature has to offer our body and recognizing how our body responds to nature is essential to our health & healing. When I am not helping clients, I enjoy working with my husband on our farm, gardening, camping, and capturing sunrises & sunsets. As a former Division 1 and Olympic Development Program soccer player, you can also find me on the pitch coaching high school soccer in the spring.
