New Do.......New YOU! Explore the Possibilities with Maree Chavez
We all have such an array of styles, moods, and ways of expressing ourselves through our hair, but sometimes our work and/ or 'roles' in our environment don't allow us the opportunity to fully reveal a DIFFERENT side of ourselves or who we are inside. Oftentimes it is hard to FIND the courage and time to try a “New You” or we just do not know where to begin. Can we be fun, exiting, unique and still be professional at work or comfortable enough to take the kids to the park?
This is where CampExperience comes in!! We are creating an environment where you can try on a NEW YOU. Fun, clip-in, hair pieces!! Colors, lengths and versatility will be at your fingertips with the support and expert eyes from the HAIR PEOPLE professionals to aid you in your adventure. Come and play with us!!

Paula Radke, Paula Radke Dichroics: Crafts Director
www.PaulaRadke.com
Ever since the fourth grade, Morro Bay resident Paula Radke knew she was going to make her living as an artist.
"When I grew up way back when," she said, "we had art in every grade of school from kindergarten on through high school, really wonderful art programs. I remember fourth grade art was when I came alive. I knew that that would be it for me. I always had a passion for jewelry, playing in mom's jewelry box, so I think beads were a natural for me, just the combining of the glass and the jewelry."
After dabbling in a wide variety of artistic mediums, including printmaking, silver casting and pottery, she discovered that glasswork was her passion. Utilizing a "Dichroic" process, she is able to create remarkable glass beads that change colors when viewed from different angles. "Dichroic glass is just a very special material, the way it changes with the light and it's just flashy and pretty," she said. "It's Unique and beautiful."
Radke now has her products in nearly 1,000 outlets, including jewelry designers and craft stores such as A.C. Moores, and Michaels. "Because of the internet, I have accounts all over the world," she said. "I just recently sent some glass pieces to a glass museum in Kobe, Japan." And it all starts in her little shop in Morro Bay.
Cindy Brown, Cindybeads: Craft Classes
www.Cindybeads.com
Early in 1992 I saw my first lampwork beads while vacationing in Arizona. The world stood still when I realized they were made by hand....one at a time! Could it be that I could learn to do such a thing? Play with FIRE? After purchasing a few beads, I decided to give this amazing process a try so that I could individualize the jewelry I had just started making. Finding a teacher was my next order of business (not as simple in '92 as it is these days!). To make a long story short, I ended up purchasing a torch, some glass and Lewis Wilson's first video and just took off from there! I've been happily making "Cindybeads" ever since! While I still continue to make and sell a little jewelry, there is nothing like "melting" to fill my days with happiness!
Cindy is a founder of the HOPE Bracelet Project that donates bead bracelet sales to Project Mercy in
Yetebon, Ethiopia. For more HOPE Bracelet information, visit www.Cindybeads.com

Karen Quinn Catching Your Breath
Thursday, September 18th, 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
www.roadwarrioryoga.com
Karen enjoyed a life of adventure with her husband and children: sailing, diving, and traveling. The adventure changed when an engine failure forced her husband, a helicopter pilot for a Denver television station, to land in the icy waters of a Colorado reservoir. His month long coma resulted in severe head injury and confined him to a wheelchair for the remaining four years of his life.
Her on-the-job training as a caretaker, single parent and patient advocate began in an instant. Realizing that the allopathic health care system was limited in it’s ability to help, she began to explore more deeply the relationship between healing, breath, movement and spirit. After her husband’s death in 1995, she continued her study of these essential connections and added the study of yoga to her training in reflexology, jin shin and anatomy. Karen discovered the depth of the yoga practice as she delved into the ancient insight that unites body, breath, emotions and the deep wisdom that is held in all beings. Focusing on the damaging effects of stress, she created a presentation to share the tools that we all possess to change our reactions to the stressors in our lives.
In 1999, Karen became a certified yoga teacher and has continued her training to become a certified yoga therapist. She is registered with the Yoga Alliance as a ryt-500, the most experienced teacher qualification possible. She works with individuals to recover from injury and chronic illness using a combination of movement, breath and inner awareness. She is also the director and lead instructor for Rishis Crossing Yoga Teacher training program. Her latest DVD, Road Warrior Yoga, provides a therapeutic movement series that promotes wellness and balance.

Kim decided to retire from Nordstrom and find a way to give back to the world. One can’t eliminate stress from our lives but we can teach our children how to become aware of the breath, to take the time for one to quiet the crazy “monkey” mind and find ways to become more intuitive.
