Hosted by The Parlour (Jo) with Special Guest Lisa Levart

A Sensory Celebration of the Five Elements | Food, Drink & Divine Feminine Wisdom

This fall, The Parlour’s Jo invites you to a one-of-a-kind workshop that blends sensory nourishment with spiritual exploration. Centered around the **five elements—Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit—**Jo will craft inspired food and drink pairings designed to awaken your palate and ground you deeply in each element’s unique energy.

As you savor each thoughtfully prepared bite and sip, Lisa Levart, creator of the Goddess on Earth: ORACLE deck, will guide you through the deck’s rich world of archetypes and elemental wisdom. This 45-card divination deck features iconic portraits of real women embodying the Divine Feminine and offers powerful tools for reflection, intuition, and connection.

Together, Jo and Lisa will lead you through a multi-sensory journey—where taste, story, and spirit come alive. You’ll learn about the elemental framework of the deck, experience paired card readings, and explore how these ancient energies live within you.

What to Expect:

• A carefully curated tasting menu and drinks inspired by the five elements, crafted by Jo of The Parlour
• A huge feast with pavlova, roasted fish and meats, oysters, wine for days and days and more… with an added fun sensory tasting while the readings go on!
• An intimate introduction to the Goddess on Earth: ORACLE deck with creator Lisa Levart
• Insight into the symbolism and power of Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit
• Partnered card readings with your sisters and guided reflection to deepen your connection
• A welcoming, embodied space for sharing, listening, and presence with a surrounding community of women

Whether you come for the food, the oracle wisdom, or both, this workshop is designed to nourish body, mind, and soul

Who This Is For:

This workshop is open to all women (cis, trans, and non-binary people who identify with the feminine) seeking connection, reflection, and beauty. No prior experience with oracle cards is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to show up fully.

Location: The Parlour, 146 Castle Heights Ave, Nyack NY

What to Bring: A journal, a pen, and anything that helps you feel grounded and open. Oracle decks will be available to use and purchase.

Spots are limited to keep it intimate Registration’s open—don’t wait! Join the mailing list or follow us @theparlournyack for the latest updates.

Perry Lawson Fine Art is pleased to present Jill Hoy: Narratives of Form & Color, a solo exhibition featuring figurative and landscape paintings by Jill Hoy. Through her dynamic use of composition and the vivid interplay of form and color, Hoy captures both the immediacy of her experience and the richness of her imagination.

This show runs concurrently with Jon Imber & Jill Hoy: Side by Side, on view next door at the Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center. That exhibition celebrates the profound creative bond between Hoy and her late husband, Jon Imber (1950-2014), whose 23-year marriage became an ongoing artistic dialogue.

We will celebrate our respective shows with joint opening receptions on October 18th.

Our weekly poets circle, Circle Up, is happening every Thursday night from 6 PM to 7 PM at X House in Nyack. This week, I’m thinking on doing a performance/delivery workshop, but usually we do either writing or editing. If you want weekly emails or texts about that, let me know and I can add you to the proper list. If you can swing it, cost is $5, paid directly to the venue.
