About The Weather Vein

Why the Weather Vein?

Like a traditional weather vane that is guided by the wind's direction, the daily weather forecast helps us to prepare for whatever external conditions may be on the horizon. Rarely, however, do we do take time to pay attention to our own internal weather. The Weather Vein brings focus on the energy that runs through the veins and every cell of our body. When we take time to explore how we feel, physically, emotionally and spiritually, we may choose to interact with our external world differently. This type of self awareness can help us to more authentically navigate the ups and downs of our life's adventure.

Goal

Stephanie believes that each person has hidden natural abilities and talents. Through experiencing and/or experimenting with a variety of mind/body and expressive art forms, each person can unite their unique voice with their life’s purpose. The Weather Vein offers motivational artwork, a variety of classes and workshops that enable a person to connect with their own higher wisdom.

As an Artist

As an intuitive artist, Stephanie's goal is to inspire others to explore their internal emotions. When she creates art, it comes from an authentic place where she lets go of any expectation on what the end product will be. As a result, there is a vulnerability in her art pieces that hopefully creates a genuine connection between the viewer and herself. Stephanie loves trees and being outside in nature. She enjoys hiking in her spare time and many of her pieces are directly influenced by these walks She loves recreating plants and wildlife in her work.

Stephanie volunteers to plant and maintain trees at a local riparian buffer.

As an Advocate for Mindfulness and Sustainability

Stephanie recently completed training to become a Pennsylvania Forest Steward. In addition, she trained as a Pennsylvania Master Naturalist. Through these experiences, she discovered the vital connection that exists between our local ecosystem and our daily living practices. As a result, Stephanie now brings even more awareness to the relationship between our bodies, mind and the natural world around us. Whether participating in outdoor mindfulness, an expressive arts workshop or one of Stephanie's mind/body classes, the focus is placed on observation through the eyes of curiosity. "As we move through various sensory experiences, we learn to cultivate and trust our own internal body-mind system. By bring awareness to our body’s sensations, feelings, chakras and inner rhythms, we can safely develop our own personal and unique style. This inspires growth and change physically, mentally and spiritually leading to better overall health, happiness and stress management."
